Why Maple over Bamboo? Even though Bamboo is widely known for it's strength, Maple is just as strong when it comes to the size/amount of wood being used and applied. This isn't a baseball bat and not intended to take an unusual amount of striking. When it comes down to it, it's all about contruction and pressure. Similar to the previously available bamboo clip, the ARC is constructed out of three pieces of wood which are bonded together. Unless you Chuck Norris chop the clip, there's no reason for a piece to snap in half.
AVAILABILITY: When we sat down to develop The ARC, we originally intended it to be an exclusive item for our kickstarter campaigns. However, we know a lot of people who have had an interest in our Grid Clips but also wanted a more generic clip to go with any deck. So we figured, why not make them more available? At the moment, they are already in production for our current Mythos: Necronomicon Campaign. However, if they do well, we plan to make them available online through our website and ebay. And Yes, they will be in stock when available to purchase. If the button says Buy Now etc. Then we physically have it available, no made to order clips. Granted, although we don't have the immediate funds to produce hundreds at a time, we will keep small bulks on hand. Once again, this all comes down to how good they do on our kickstarter. Even though we have exclusive designs for Mythos: Necronomicon, we also have our Executive design up. This design is meant to go with any deck.
Below are a few images from our kickstarter of the designs available at the moment. Since our red "Face of the Dead" Clips are being produced now, I've also attached the first look at the physical ARC Card Clips. I'll post more images of the black and tan/natural ones when they come in next week.
