Can someone identify this ken?

A friend of mine received this kendama as a hand-me-down from his cousin, and none of us seem to know what it is. I would ignore the tama because I don’t believe that was the original. I’m fairly new to the kendama game and I thought it was interesting because this ken has a fixed sarado and a little metal bevel. It is also strung straight through as opposed to the string being at an angle. It appears to me to be a knockoff Tribute of some sort, but I don’t want to make any false accusations.

And since we’re on the topic, was the Tribute the first kendama to have a fixed sarado?

Thanks for your help guys!

I can establish one thing! whats a Kendama? ;D good luck finding out.

It’s a Hawaiian kendama company.
Basically a knock off tribute.
Tribute was the first but many followed.
