The Tom Kuhn SB2 - Light Elements 1 anodized in black. This aluminum yo-yo first debuted Sunday, November 27, 2022, despite the engraved year of 2023 on one halve.

The Tom Kuhn Silver Bullet 2, more commonly known as the SB-2, was a landmark in yo-yo history and a masterpiece of precision engineering. First released in November 1990, it was the first yo-yo to combine a high-performance ball-bearing axle system with an adjustable gap, setting new standards for playability and innovation. Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, the SB-2 has always featured a sleek, polished design, earning it a reputation as both a collectible and a functional powerhouse. This yo-yo is loved for its smooth spins, exceptional balance, and versatility, making it equally suited for mastering classic tricks or exploring advanced string play. Today, the Silver Bullet 2 remains a symbol of craftsmanship and ingenuity that continues to showcase the artistry that Tom Kuhn has brought to the world of yo-yoing for many years.

From tomkuhn.com:
"The SB2 Light Elements engraving works within the valley of each yo-yo, with controlled release of energy and impeccable laser mastery. The TK infinity logo claims its rightful position, riding point. The SB2 Light Elements features black anodized finish applied to its special aircraft aluminum providing a perfect canvas to enhance this wonderful art."

Uses a size I ball bearing axle and Tom Kuhn Turbo Discs for the response. The Light Elements art is engraved on both halves.
