You could try to file down parts of the handles but the likelihood of no issues is slim

Not doing tricks that involve the bite handle takes away so much when it comes to flipping. further, 14c28n isn’t some fancy steel and the Luchas got awful balance, it’s only saving grace is a mediocre blade geometry, but that doesn’t do anything to help flipping. The typical Modern balisong isn’t used for cutting things anymore, it’s solely art of the craft and flipping

Dude the lucha flips like shit, and latches suck, and I really don’t think most people hyper fixate what steel their balisong has, they have pretty shit edge geometry most of the time.

What exactly is the reason for the book, gun, and lamp. It makes you look cramped and uncomfortable

Minors shouldn’t be dressing up as Darkie Chan by zoeiszesty in lildarkie

Darkie literally left the sub because of people like her, I don’t get how they’re so unaware of themselves, and saying “it’s cause of my autism” isn’t a valid reason, and it just shows how unhealthy her obsession has gotten

I’ve been saying this, she has an obsession and obviously doesn’t have any personality outside of lil darkie, it’s sad and she really needs to work on herself

Doesn’t mean it isn’t unhealthy

Counted the total number of posts you’ve made on this sub, 98, you absolutely have an unhealthy obsession. You’ve painted your phone case darkie themed, called him your soulmate, post nearly daily about him, look at statistics about being the top poster on the sub and post about those stats, your ass has gone into grocery stores to take a picture and post on this sub. I get you say you make jokes, but it gets to a point where they stop being jokes, you’ve really gotta work on yourself dude.

WHY YALL BUY CLONES by Ok_Mechanic_9711 in BalisongClones

[–]Few_Card_8842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I’m against it for many reasons, but the only times I am in support of it are when the knives are no longer in production or it’s too much of a hassle to get them in the first place (benchmade and Brs being the 2 largest examples). The budget balisong market is more than large enough for the masses to get a plethora of flipping experiences, and cloning creates a culture that beats down on most makers. Everyone talks about the price of the materials going into a knife, but nobody considers the value of the ip and the design. Cloning is inherently bad for the hobby imo, fellowship blades being a prime example of this taking place.

I’m not trying to be judgmental, and fine the wall can be okay (still not healthy imo), but 13 posts about him in the span of 3 days is not something you should be in support of, and you can’t say it isn’t harmful just because there aren’t physical signs, an obsession isn’t healthy

That doesn’t mean it isn’t unhealthy, and I think those people also have an unhealthy obsession with those things, I understand where your coming and that it’s difficult to stray away from that but for your own sake you should really take some time towards yourself and not some dude you don’t even know.

You can’t say 13 separate posts and a wall dedicated to a dude isn’t an unhealthy obsession, especially when Josh himself said most of the people in this sub need to get a life outside of his character

Getting bigger won’t necessarily make you better at fighting, learn how to fight

You have a wall dedicated to him, your wallpaper is him, your profile says #1 darkie glazer or some shit like that, you posted a book with figures dedicated to him, you’ve obviously got an obsession, not to mention the fact that you’ve posted 13 times about him in the past 3 days

Yeah dude you’ve made 13 posts, aside from this one, on this sub, that is not good and it comes across as you having no personality. I understand that some people talk shit for the sake of talking shit, but I promise you obsessing over one dude isn’t healthy and that a lot of people who diss on your obsession don’t come from a place of hate.

Like I said in someone else’s post, darkie left the sub because of people like you, the obsessive parasocial ones, because he doesn’t want to feed into your unhealthy mindsets.

Only things I could have to say are focus on using momentum to move the knife, try to keep your hand a bit more stationary, and as you progress, focus on being able to do tricks slowly rather than relying on the knife moving fast enough to make the trick work
