I'm still working on this. I need to get an official count for blades and OPS interest.

How does this curve compare to the bc71 malkin ? any chance you could do a side by side of the two ?

Here's a Perron next to a True TC3. The TC3 is more open than the Malkin and has more rocker, but the depth is similar.

Hmm interesting! the Kovalev is the one on the right correct? and also the TC3 is essentially an E28/Kreps?
I have been on the hunt for a mid-toe / toe blade that is neutral to closed, I am not sure if this is it ?

I feel like a TC3 is a tad more hossa pro-ish than kreps. But it sounds like youre looking for a Perry Pro from your description, depends on how flat or rockered you prefer

Yes, on the right. Mid-toe, closed face would be the Malkin BC71 or if you wanted to go slightly open at the toe try a Perry pro or, old Warrior Gionta or the Kovalev. The Kovalev has a longer blade and more rocker which helps for stick handling.

Yup, thats how I would describe it too. The TC3 is much more like a more mild version of a Hossa pro as the curve starts later (more mid/ mid heel) compared to a Kreps.

Awesome, I actually have a BC71 Blade waiting for me to try!
Does Base offer the Perry Pro? (Corey Perry?)

Base does not offer a Perry pro, the Malkin is pretty close to it though.
The Perry is slightly more open and has a different blade shape.

If the interest is still there for the pro Kovalev we will be moving forward. Please get ahold of me.

So I recently made an impulse buy and picked up a Perron OPS with the same pattern as BASE is looking at producing. Stay tuned for a comprehensive review, but I can tell you all right now that this pattern is deceptively user-friendly. Hopefully we get a few more orders so we can start producing the moulds!

For those of you interested in the Kovalev/Perron pattern, here's my review of the curve! I've been using it on a Perron pro stock OPS. In short, it's surprisingly playable for something so unusual. The more I use it, the more I like it.

with the long blade if you play with a shorter stick , the length of blade will compensate ! amazing pattern !

MIght be interested now that I've got a forwarder in the US.
How many more do we need?

I have been using it and I am hooked on this curve. Stickhandling is amazing but it does take some time to get used to shooting. I have to give a shout out to Stephen. My blade snapped and he did a waranrty on it and also allowed me to upgrade to a supernatural. Great customers service. Looking very much to getting the new stick a try.

We got enough people and the pattern is now offered on all our OPS and as tapered replacement blades! Both RH and LH.

Sorry to dig this up, but is this referred to the BC27 in the BASE ordering system?
And can anyone comment on the lie of the blade BASE produced the batch from? I've read that due to the rather extreme rocker that it plays rather low. I am looking for a low-lie pattern.
