From ilyy.de website:
June 16, 2011 "The Trvth is out there! - Dominik loves his >[Tom Kuhn] SB-2 [yo-yo]Trvth.
At this point, there have been two iterations. The first prototype featured an absolutely straight gap profile. But we found it hard to play with because of the tiny catch zone. So, to increase the playablity just a bit by maintaining an uncompromising design, at least by today’s standards regarding 1A yoyos, we decided to make the profile slightly wing-shaped. Actually, the SB-2 was slightly wing-shaped as well.
Now, for our second prototype the catch zone is like double the size of the first version. We also increased the overall diameter just a bit to give it more rim weight and spin time.
The second prototype features full, state-of-the-art engravings. As you can see, we are kind of going [with] a [heavy] metal theme here. It's a dark yo-yo, which leads us to "black metal" of course. Also, you can think of the name and the term "trvth metal." The style of the engraving goes along with the heavy metal theme as well. Artwork by Clayton V.
The final release will also be candodized, just like the prototypes. The engraving is not final at this point, we might tweak it a bit here and there. As a goodie, the final version will come with a special gray string made just for us.
We are aiming for a release during second half of 2011."
The Trvth seen in this exhibit was from Run #2 released September 2014. It had identical specifications to Run #1. Only the number produced and the candodized color was different between the two runs.
Unlike Run #1, the laser-engraved design on this version was done on one halve only and it is much brighter and slightly sharper. Can you make out "ILYY" and "TRVTH" in the engraving? It's rather difficult to see, but it's there. Came in a green velvet leather drawstring bag, branded with "I[heart symbol]YOYO German High-End YoYos", instruction sheet, pin, and sticker.
The overlayed text on the two pictures of the Trvth on the ILYY webpage, labeled as Run #2 and Run #1, was incorrectly assigned. The correct labeling should be Run #1 for the black version and Run #2 for the titanium-colored (dark grey) version.
