Thanks tattoo and galipeau for chiming in, now it's my story which is next chapter.
I traded a cue for the Koo in 2016, and have it shipped to Joey B for checking, because Joey was refinishing a cue for me at the moment, actually two cues. I was going to give the Koo to my brother in law to play with.
Joey checked the Koo and said he liked it, apart from it being played, it was in good shape, I asked if it needed a refinish Joey said no need then.
Joey shipped the Koo and a Joey cue to me in a JB case, and the whole package was stolen. 4 months later after some investigation request submitted to USPS, Joey was contacted by Althair asking if he'd known the Joey cue, only clue was the stag horn collar on the Joey, other than that, the Joey cue looked like a production house cue.
Althair bought it of craigslist in Atlanta. He did not know either cue but the engraved logo on Koo cue was realized by his friends, he contacted Kenny and Kenny said the one who would use stag horn as collar was Joey B.
I was thankful I asked Joey to put both cues in a JB case, and paid for extra weight because if it had not been for the case, the cues would have been separated and the Joey cue would have been lost forever.
I contacted Althair and learned that he had retired and was starting to play and learn about cues, he bought the package to add to his arsenal which only had one Richard Hsu cue. I told him the Joey cue was my player and was the most important cue to me, and I offered him to keep the Koo cue as a gift. I am happy he accepted that.
Now I think that Koo cue is in the best hands for it, he sent it for a refinish and re-wrap which made it absolutely pop. I am happy for him as he will now play with it and enjoy it more and more, Kenny sure makes great playing cue, and being a BEM Plain Jane, it is just an ideal everyday carry.
Cuong.
