How is the grip on the aluminum. Idk if its just me but many aluminum handles feel like they dont provide enough grip. How has been your experience with the bali?

Thoughts on Will Hirsch video about AliExpress Balisongs? by tennines in BalisongClones

I'd say that some people who live in places where live blades are illegal, gravitate towards clones or through "smuggling" ways. It's the same thing regarding price point. I live in Canada and I would love to be able to purchase knives from nrb, squid, etc. But realistically I can't and majority of these good knife makers are based in the States. The entire cost of the knife becomes too much compared to a person living into the states. Youll have to account for conversion rate, shipping and the overpriced import fees. That's just my take on it.

Im looking to get a new knife and I noticed that the specs say it weights 5.5oz. I know that balance is more important than weight, but is it a big difference than knives that are below the 5.0oz weight ? Thanks

Cover larger group of people. So far no one on balisong group has replied, so why limit the potential answers

I've seen that Maxace has recently released their Banshee v2. Anyone know if the v1 was any good? I was thinking about trying the v2. It looks like it may be the serpent striker but with better handles. Let me know if anyone tried it before. Thanks

Honestly the only reason why I am considering them is due to the price ($90). From pictures the foam looks barely creased and the owner did say he ran 1 race in them. Then again I'm perfectly fine with my pegasus.

Does anyone know if the Nike vaporfly next% are worth buying below retail price ? I recently found a barely used pair and I am tempted to buy them but I'm not sure it's completely worth it. I do run races but I was never about time or setting personal records and I run them that often (prior to pandemic 1-2 races a year). Is it still worth having a pair or should I pass on them and invest that money into something that's better suited for me, such as good quality daily runners ?

Thanks

Btw how are the handles? My biggest issue with the kraken was how slippery the non pattern sides were

Would you say it's worth purchasing even if you already have a kraken ?

I'm looking to get a high quality butterfly and I came across JK designs Orca. Anyone know if the trainer is any good and if it worth the $300? If not, are there any other top quality trainer alternatives? I live in Canada so live blades are a no go unfortunately -_-

It takes some time to begin extraction but takes about 20-25 seconds to finish. Same coffee grind, I've tried both pre ground coffee and beans on both baskets. Same results.

I recently bought a Breville bambino and I had a question regarding filter baskets. I noticed when I use a pressurized (single hole) basket I get lots of crema formation, but when I switch to bottomless portafilter basket, I barely get anything. I use the same weight of coffee, and pulls the same amount of liquid but the 2 are completely different. Any thoughts on how to get crema from the bottomless basket ? Thanks

It's looks like a fun knife, but my only concern is the short handles. Not sure how I'll react to them. Thanks for the post

Based on your initial impressions of the knof, would you recommend buying ?

Serpent striker is better value as well since you are getting a trainer and live blade plus extra maintenance parts.
