    We all have at least one dama that we’ll never sell, trade, or throw away.
    Your first dama, one you’ve been wanting to cop for a long time, a gift from a friend, a super rare piece, etc.
    What dama(s) will you never give up?

    Definitely this one. Kendama that I won at my first competition ever, Kendama Clash. Limited edition KendamaClash Nativ Kendama. This has the biggest sentimental value for me. IMG_20171217_200312.jpg IMG_20171217_200300.jpg

    I might change my answer, but definitely my Alex Ruisch 2014 Legend Model with a green KUSA string. First and very last kendama I will ever buy from HNL Kendama's walk-in store. R.I.P. HNLK's walk-in store

    I think the day I went was the Friday before the last jam there, but I could only go for one day, and so I couldn't jam there with anyone. :(

    definitely my first dama, a trib trip stripe. I would NEVER do anything with that
    O, wait, the ken is in a trash can at my school and I have no idea where the tama is...

    First kendama, a standard red Ozora I bought in a shop on Mount Fuji. That kendama started it all.

    Plus, as a matter of principle, I never sell/give kendamas that I received as gifts.

    First kendama for me, then the shop, then back to me for retirement. Put a special place in my heart for the TK16. On the collector's front a Zoomadanke red Mugen musou that's twinned with one my girlfriend has.

    Always wanted a GT pro model lineup. Nothing else plays quite like any of them, and I absolutely love the colours!

    My DWI X NextGen, because i've been using that since April and it is even more honed! also it was my first "sticky/grippy/tacky" kendama, and i've grown really attached to it( first after 6 months of playing!) or my mini tribute, from when kendama was a thing in hawaii, it was my first kendama. I only played for a few months and quit until october 2016

    well under my collection, my current best set up which is a prototype Kendama Mastaz Tama paired with a Meijin Ken.
    In things that i wanna cop, i always wanted the first round of customs collabs krom had like autum & 430 trip splits which were super rare. Also currently the krom kamo & the current 430 collab slaydawg maybe paired with a maple ken with the same slaydawg shape (maybe a nihon)...
