I received 2 great blanks early May this year.
I have never come across these nice solid looking BATTLEAX Smith Ltd blanks. It has kevlar wrapping at the lower part of the blank.
Here are some of the photos taken during test fitting.
I planned to use 10+1 Fuji Alconite guides on this rod, but after measuring and bend testing, I found out 9+1 is already sufficient.
And this is how it looks after completion.
