Hi all:

Just continuing in my planning for a gift S&G for my dad or SO.

What are the actual differences between 1088 okuome and 6566 okuome. both are british certified.

noahs marine has them at $36 for 1088 and $25 for the other. i think the 1088 is what CLC uses. dont remember about pygmy though.

Visually and structurally what differences are there?

Thanks,

Pete Czerpak Albany, NY

ps. if anyone has used 6566 stuff, please let me know your experiences.
