Another product from JJ EDC, Shuriken, uses the same midplate and magnet system as Creation Mountain.
Creation Mountain focuses on optimizing the speed of completing freestyle moves and is lighter and thinner overall, while Shuriken focuses on optimizing the feel.
Creation Mountain is 12.6mm thick, while Shuriken is 15mm thick, making it feel heavier in the hand. Shuriken features an ergonomically designed surface, with two different surfaces to accommodate left- and right-handed users. When in use, the palm supporting the slider and the fingers pushing it provide a comfortable grip, always finding the right spot in the slider's recess.
Regarding the magnet system:
The magnet structure is a 6+8 magnet configuration.
Strength and specifications are as follows:
6-magnet side:
Surroundings 7x3mm N35, center 5x3mm N25
8-magnet side:
Surroundings 8x2mm N52, center 5x3mm N25
Weight:
Titanium: 52g
Zirconium: 59g
-
Layer Lamination: Extremely thin layers of carbon fiber are alternately stacked with sheets woven from quartz fibers. These quartz layers are typically no more than 45 microns thick.
-
Resin Impregnation: A specialized resin is injected between the fiber layers, acting as a binder.
-
Automated Tape Laying (ATL): Automated machinery is used to alter the alignment angle of each fiber layer (typically offset by 45° or 90°) to ensure uniform strength of the final product in all directions.
-
High-Temperature/High-Pressure Curing: The stacked material is placed into an autoclave, where it is subjected to approximately 6 bar of pressure and heated to 120°C. This process allows the resin to fully penetrate and cure, transforming the once loose fiber layers into an exceptionally rigid composite block.
-
CNC Precision Machining: The cured block material is then cut and shaped by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. Due to the material's extreme hardness, machining is very difficult, resulting in high tool wear.
-
Extreme Lightness: Its density is very low, lighter than aluminum, making it almost imperceptible in weight when worn on the hand.
-
Exceptional Impact Resistance: The carbon fiber provides extremely high tensile strength, making the material highly resistant to shattering under severe vibration or impact, with outstanding stability.
-
Excellent Heat Resistance: Quartz itself is an excellent thermal insulator and high-temperature resistant material, enabling carbon quartz to withstand significant thermal fluctuations.
-
Unique Aesthetic Appearance: After CNC machining, each layer of carbon and quartz is exposed, creating random, visually striking patterns reminiscent of marble grain or wave textures. Because the cutting angles differ, no two carbon quartz products in the world are exactly alike.
-
Biocompatibility: The material is chemically stable and will not cause allergic reactions or discomfort when worn against the skin.
