The Triskelion is the first truly stemless top from Billetspin, and as such each top is a little piece of Billetspin history. There have been other stemless tops from Billetspin in the past, however they were stemless versions of standard tops. The Triskelion is the first native stemless in the Billetspin family.
The triskelion is the 37th overall top from Billetspin and was first released on the 6th of January 2017. This top is being released throughout 2017 as Rich from Billetspin plays with different material combinations between other endeavours.

For this combination the inner disk was loose, and free to spin around within the casing, unlike in any future models. The disks were made of anodized Timascus which is not something Billetspin have offered before, so it was a double first. |

Rumours!
In a Faceb
ook post Rich announced that they were in the process of making 4 more combinations for 2017. In that same thread there was a picture with four different materials listed. Now this is just speculation at this point, but given the first on that list is the first in the new wave to be released, it is a reasonable assumption that this list is the next four material options (for the inner disk). They are:
- Mokume (SOLD)
- Spiro Damascus (SOLD)
- Zirconium
- White Timascus
Again, this is just speculation at this point, but they all sound great! Hopefully there will still be more after these four.
