Saw from the internet that Kim TS has come out with a new blade, but it is not from Butterfly.

It makes no sense when someone is retired to come out with a new blade named after him. Surely the sale of that blade would be less than using a name from the top 20 ranked players, or even from top 100 ranked players. If you look at what is selling now blades like TBS, Acoustic, Korbel, etc., are names of top players still active. Blades like Wladner and Persson are less mentioned in forums and probably less in sale.

I can check whether it is an official site run by KTS.

The market among young players is influenced by the world class players currently playing. I talk to people who have been playing for like 10 or 20 years. They all prefer to mention the yester years players. Some of them even go to Waldner or Persson to look at the techniques.
