the stonewash looks gorgeous on that. sad I missed the Ti888's, the 888 was the first metal yoyo I ever wanted, came out right as I started getting into yo-yos as a hobby.

Looks amazing! Did you purposely make it look battle-worn?
Yep, I did an acid bath and stonewashing treatment on it. It makes the surface smooth enough for grinds and hides small scratches and dings.
That's one of the things I miss being able to do on my polished 888 forever, I can no longer do grinds. Great work on this look, I love this yoyo
