Thinking about buying a Ipe striker. Any recommendations on who makes a good one ?

My David Halloran Ipe one piece striker is my #1 Striker. It plays great on any surface and they are only $15
I picked up one on MDTOM84's suggestion, I am loving it. Very versatile.
I second that Halloran striker but honestly haven't tried any other callmakers work. Seems like any pot I go to that striker works nicely.
I didn't care for the Halloran Ipe one piece. To big of a flared tip. Get yourself a Mcclain black locust you will love it.
Going to third the Halloran Ipe. It's smoking on my Twisted Sister, and plays just about as well on anything it touches.
I have a Lyman Ipe and I absolutely love it!
I want an Ipe as well, how do they sound on the crystal mistress

Harold Fowler makes a great Ipe striker, as does Bill Lyman.
Fowler, Lyman and Cox all make good ipe strikers

I'm not a huge fan of ipe. It's a hard wood that to me seems almost too hard for most playing surfaces. Certainly doesn't require much conditioning of the tip because once it's set, it's set. Have a Halloran ipe. Had two. Gave one away. Kept the other. Figured I'd hold it for trading later.

I love my one piece Andy Kaiser Ipe.
Bill Lyman makes a mean ipe striker. Also like my Halloran ipe.
Love my fowler Ipe striker! It was my favorite out of the 6 that I ordered from him. He is super nice.
