A gorgeous, superbly made yo-yo with excellent identification engraved on one halve. Next to Turning Point's Counter-Jet yo-yo, this Tom Kuhn model was also the "sleeper" of 2017. The Black Cat was machined by CYYC (Chico Yo-Yo Company) out of Chico, California. Compare the rim engraving of this model to the rim engraving of the CYYC Bull Dog 225.

Original retail price: $150 US.
