Matsui makes clay chips too, not everyone knows this. They have a very unique technique in making these chips.

It's a good thing ASM (Vegas) did not use that method. I can see the gripes now "all my white chips had a reddish hue", or "there was a knuckle in my 5s."

On a serious note, why didn't people ever pursue the Matsui chip clay line? I've had these samples years before (sold/traded them away unfortunately), and I liked the way they feel. They are lighter weight, felt around 8 grams I think, but I do believe they are true compression molded chips (aka "real clay").

The chips are pretty well made, and you can pick edge spots.

My guess is that few people know/knew they are an option.

High minimum (used to be 5000?) and no inlays. They hot stamp, though.

I like the M mold for a Mental Nomad set, but I hate hot stamps and would rather go inlay.

1. lightweight
2. no inlays
3. M mold only
4. high minimum order

Any two outta those four would kill interest for most chippers.
