The King top is Rich's first creation in what will eventually be an entire set of chess piece tops! And lemme tell ya, he went alllll out on this amazing creation, and it is definitely THE KING in the world of tops!! It is a truly stunning design comprised of FIVE different component pieces. There is a main body and upper cover, then a middle ring that goes around the stem and runs through to the bottom of the top creating a neat looking ring design underneath, and then a stem with a separate grip component that goes over the stem. This allowed for some wild combinations of metals and crazy sweet designs! The top of the stem, which looks like a king's crown with that special grip component, also has a cross on the top which is wild to watch spinning and warps like crazy in warp videos! I just can't say enough about this creation - it is BRILLIANT to the nth degree. The King tops are 1.23" in diameter at the base. All King tops come in a Billetspin tin for safekeeping.
