 Sponsors and Curators
The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!
If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com

Duncan Freehand One 2023 - Samurai edition with gray body, black side caps, and a size A ball bearing axle. This model debuted exclusively for sale at the 2023 World Yo-Yo Contest in Osaka, Japan, August 18-20, 2023. Several weeks later, this special contest model went on sale publicly at various webstores around the world on September 7, 2023, 20:00 MST. The same side cap design was featured on sides A and B. This model was polybagged only (no box packaging) and did not come with a string, or any accessories such as a spare string, extra response pads, or counterweight. A very budget release.
Compare with the Duncan Freehand Zero - Samurai Tour edition from 2006.
From yoyosam.com:
"In 2001, Duncan launched the original Freehand and with it, came a change in the world of yo-yos. They tapped into something unique. Although it was not fully understood as to why, everybody recognized it: the Freehand was special. In addition to launching a new style of play, the Freehand's shape, aesthetics, and feel made it into an instant classic.
Over the years they explored many different designs emphasizing various elements of the original, but with different materials and shapes. On its 20th anniversary they are returning to the roots with what might be the best plastic Freehand yet: the Freehand One.?"
