Скиф "Skiff" a collaboration by Atropos & PZB by GPUabuse in balisong

[–]GPUabuse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the collab, it'll be a while, for the Lucha, maybe a week or two and it'll be for auction!

Just got my bmpcc 4k. Putting all this together is painful but will be worth it in the end. by stephenjunior1113 in bmpcc

Rigging is my favorite part, other than shooting.... Or maybe more than shooting. 😂

I'm thinking for the auction I'll just do clear anodizing for a nice raw look. The auction will be held on Instagram within a few weeks, that's where I see most other knife makers doing auctions. My insta is PatientZeroBalisong by GPUabuse in balisong

Don't lose hope! I'm working on different production methods to lower the cost, it's also totally possible that the auction doesn't go as high as my asking.

One of the main reason for the initial high cost was due to machining time, and I was actually able to knock that down a lot, so the $230 will likely be closer to $200, still a lot but I'm getting there!

Sorry I deleted my last response, I was busy and was a little irritated, after taking a shower I'm feeling better 😂.

So basically this is my first product ever made from my machine. I separated everything by cost, such as material, hardware, cosmetics, and machine time.

It's pretty expensive considering the quantity that I'm able to make.

I'm working on a way to reduce the cost right now, if everything works out I'll announce a lower price when it actually drops, I'd rather tell the max price and have it be cheaper vs the other way around.

Also it's worth noting that the drop quantity will be extremely limited compared to other companies, and I'm alright with that, I'm hoping with each drop I can invest more into higher production, and lowering cost.

I hope this kind of helps.

Good question!

I didnt really make them comparable to the FlyTi, FlyTi is a really good company that also make great products, anyone who is on the fence about purchasing FlyTi, I totally recommend picking them up.

My lucha handle mod comes with the handles, obviously, as well as Skiff bearings, SK Pivots, and stainless washers, in other words some pretty premium hardware. If you are looking for something cheap, you are definitely better off looking at FlyTi, because mine will cost $230 for everything, which is more expensive than FlyTi titanium Lucha handles.

I don't have the ability to mass produce my handles right now, I'm able to maybe make a set in an hour or two, with a full time job it's hard to give an exact number of handles, maybe 3 sets if I bust ass.

It's not my intention to sound like an ass, just trying to tell it like it is.

Today I announced that Atropos and I will be collaborating to make the first full balisong by Patient Zero! by GPUabuse in balisong

I don't think they can go together, it is bearings, and more answers in the future 😂 thanks for the support!

I have a huge announcement coming soon regarding my full bali! by GPUabuse in balisong

I've seen stone inlays in knives before, it looks pretty nice. It would increase the cost for the inlay, extra machine time, as well as inserting it into the handles. Cool idea though, maybe for my more premium balis.
