I have a client who wants me to install reclaimed redwood 2 x 4 decking. Any input on blind fastening systems would be appreciated.

use the advanced search and keywords IPE and EB-TY and deck.

Also DeckMaster, though Ipe may turn it up.
Look into the Shadoe Track system. It requires most of the fastening to be done from underneath, so it may not be right for you if the deck is very low. There is another recently released system that is similar.... saw it in a magazine ad but forgot the manufacturer.
I still have not seen an eb-ty / tigerclaw type system that I would use.

Don't underestimate the particulars involved with working underneath. Is it high? Is it low? Even if it happens to be a "perfect" 6'3" off the ground, it's still a pain to work upside down, as opposed to standing topside. Also, You might need help straightening boards during install.
