As a company, we have always liked the idea of not necessarily sticking to one design model. Where many companies stick to a certain attribute that makes their yoyo’s very identifiable as “theirs”, we always liked the idea of having a vast array of yoyo experiences under the name of our brand, so that with every product we make comes a very different feeling and experience.

We had gone through different shapes, sizes, weights, and materials, but there was one thing that we hadn’t touched yet, and that was outer-rim bi-metal yoyo design. This proved to be an interesting challenge for us, as we had never experimented with this kind of design before, and we were essentially approaching it blindly. Thanks to some insight from some very skilled and prominent yoyo designers (Thank you Mark from MK1 yoyos and Patrick from Dressel!) we were able to bring our idea into a reality and achieve the design we wanted!

 

“Zaphkiel” was born from the idea of creating a competition styled bi-metal that takes organic inspired form for comfort and aesthetic, but shapes it into something that will maintain power and speed throughout movements. A size that falls into a larger diameter and width makes this yoyo easy to control and catch, with a weight distribution that gives a powerful feeling, but without a clunky feeling.

The graphics on the Zaphkiel are also a special and notable feature as it was designed and drawn by Mei! Taking inspiration from “Kurumi’s” (Date A Live) angel power of controlling time (Also where the name Zaphkiel comes from) Mei created the graphics for this yoyo with intricate details that you have to see up close to appreciate all the little details. We expect this won’t be the first time you see Mei’s design skills on our yoyo art besides the yoyo designs themselves!
