I have gotten plenty use out of them and I want to move on to trying my hand at Chinese chucks. Pictures just taken this morning:


Left to right: Hickory, Hickory, Sapele (very lightweight), Jatoba, Big Thick Jatoba, Purpleheart.





Buy them all and I'll throw in this set of Red Oak chucks I made that are held together with Prochux cord, melted and screwed in flush. With holes drilled evenly in the center.



$100 for all you see, that's $14 ea.. I really want to get some Silverfires so if you claim these within the next week I'll make it $90, that's $12ea. The Jatobas are in perfect condition and hardly spun them. The Hickory are in next to perfect condition, the Sapele have some dents because they're lightweight wood, the Purpleheart have been refurbished by Lee after I sent them back for repairs and a brandnew cord. He made them a bit more rounded and they spin extremely smooth. I haven't hit anything with these, just spun them and took care of them.

The hickory are the same! Great for doubles and highly visable. Medium weight, like new condition. $40 for both, buy one of the other sets too and both hickory will be $30 for both.

tempting, very tempting. Been considering ordering a set of proditionals from Lee, also considering trying out a pair of chux from this site http://www.woodensteel.com/exotic-weapons/custom-nunchaku.html
 . However, i do love me some hickory. My only issue is this- you live in Hawaii or Guam or another US pacific island right? If i did buy these off of you would the shipping to Georgia be outrageous or would it be regular USPS rates? also, you said 30$ if i buy another of the singles, got my eye on those thick Jatoba's im guessing Lee's fatboys at 15/16? How much would they be with the hicks?

*edited for bad copy pasta link mistake

PS. dont go through with this name change bro, you got one of the most iconic handles on the forum  :daah:

 :lmfao: Oh yeah? Maybe I'll stay with Berserkergang... I was probably drinking when I made this.

I live in Hawaii... I hope you mean Georgia the state and not the country. Shipping would be the same price as anywhere else in the US believe it or not!

The thick Jatoba are great. The wood is polished smooth and Lee did a beautiful job on them, however even though the wood is polished smooth, the wood itself is pretty grippy, opposed to hickory which is slightly slick. What I like about those Jatobas is that they have great momentum. It's like using the usual bigger chucks, but in Prochux form. They feel really substantial. All three is $30 for both hickory + $25 for those thick Jatoba. The Jatoba are more simply because they'll be the last short-cords you'll ever need. $55 for the three and it will most likely be under $15 for shipping. I'd have to go to the post office and check with the exact prices... Or if you want just give me $70 to cover the shipping and we won't have to figure it out. I can get them out as soon as you need, and they'd be there in about... 5-6 business days.

PS: if the cord ever gets frayed from the usage you put into them, use the heat from a lighter to make it look good as new again. It will melt all the frayed bits back onto the cord. But be careful not to actually burn the rest or discolor it.

Hell sounds like a good deal to me, 3 pairs for 5 bux less than the cost of 2 new. Yes i meant the State of Georgia (cue the banjoes). Tell you what, im going to go deposit some money on my credit card tomorrow, and then we can talk about paypal, i assume thats how you wanted to this sort of sale. Talk to ya then cause its time for me to go to sleep here. :cry:

oh also, i have a pair of those silver fires and they are very, very nice, however when you order them, make DAMN SURE you know exactly how many links you want on those things because, just due to the  way the attach to the swivels, there aint no changing them, what you get is what you have for all time... I got mine with 7 links... but in hindsight probably should have gone with 5.  :doh  still its good to have some variety in connector length and type, and i still love them. Just take it as a word of caution, those things DO have outrageous shipping. You play maybe 20 dollars for the chucks, and possibly 50 or 60 in shipping from mainland China, if you order one  pair just go ahead an order a second, because the shipping will be the same for 2 as 1.

Great.

Oh about the Silver Fire's, I already ordered them, they're on their way. I know the chains are long, I prefer them that way for what I'm doing these days.  If you want freestyling chucks that are also practical than go with pros. Chinese chucks are just for show... But honestly,  what I want is to challenge myself to make Youtube's most viewed nunchaku video.. not the best, just the most viewed. It's a project. and I just think the majority of Youtube people will pay more attention to Chinese style chucks.
