The Tom Kuhn World On A String fixed axle wooden yo-yo.

Inspired by the early days at Tom Kuhn’s yo-yo shop, the World On A String pays tribute to the original fixed axle hard maple yo-yos . Crafted from hard rock maple, this classic profile wooden yo-yo reignites the vibe of traditional "Original School" play that was the staple of all yo-yo players for more than 80 years.

This non-take-apart design is balanced and comfortably weighted, making it ideal for beginners wanting to learn yo-yo fundamentals and seasoned players seeking a nostalgic challenge away from ball bearing yo-yos. Especially well-suited for looping tricks, it offers smooth performance with no small parts to misplace or maintain.

Finished with a clear protective coating over the natural wood grain, World On A String combines craftsmanship with reliable functionality—bringing back the simplicity and joy of yo-yoing.

First released June 10, 2023.
