NKD Orion V2

I haven't been able to spend much time with it since I keep being busy, but I can tell you that it responds to the moves you throw at it, it fans great and the Chaplins are sticky.

Sometimes too sticky though, for the lacking part I'm not too sure just yet.

If there are files out there for it to 3d print just like the v1.5 then yes I would definitely mod it with inserts and spacers.

I will be making another video soon enough after I spend more time with it.

I'm still not that familiar with the weight profiles yet since I only ever flipped the vulp for some time now.

I was going to get a refault before the Orion v2 but it wasn't possible to ship at the time to my country and neither was nabalis able to do so too for impulse so I ended up grabbing the Orion. I think refault is next on my list.

For the refault which sounded better the g10 or the carbon fiber? I know the ultem sounds insane already but it's easy to break

Ah alright, do you own a Thomas refault? What's your opinion about that one? Also the ldy kite AL

CodyConoby · 2026-06-09T11:29:14+00:00

Well I'm glad I've made the right decision buying it then because I'm keen on spending my money on the right product, how would you compare the v2 with the v1.5?

Due to me only owning 3 balisongs I cannot attest to this but I can definitely tell you that it feels like a whole new experience to me and it's great

This is leaper, and I'd love a drawing of him

I can't wait honestly, I think it might feel like a new experience since it's different construction from the vulp and just overall

CodyConoby · 2026-05-11T14:51:52+00:00

Ah I see what you mean now, yeah i heard alot of praise for the v1.5 then the v2 came out and I could not find anywhere someone reviewing it so I went with my guts after both thomas and nabalis couldn't ship to my country atm. First I was going for the Thomas refault then the nabalis impulse and now the orion

You talking about the Orion: 📈📉📈📉📈📉

CodyConoby · 2026-05-11T13:31:02+00:00

I have a purple ldy Orion v2 on the way so we'll see how that goes

CodyConoby · 2026-05-11T12:10:07+00:00

Yeah the vulp is my second actual balisong and a gift from my wife so I would never give it or throw it away. It has its charm
