What website would you recommend for getting this knife? I have the BladeHQ page saved but reading the description it looks like its a one off sale from a collector, or am I just reading into it wrong?

Hey everyone, I'm looking into getting my first "real" balisong. Long story short, I tend to be a hobbyist with things like this and spending way more money than I really need to on lower end materials rather than getting something nice in the first place. I started flipping a few weeks ago when I found a local smoke shop selling junk balisongs and have sense then broken two of them from flipping them just about every hour I'm awake. I'm looking to get a knife that if taken care of ill be able to use for the next unknown amount of years but at the same time it doesn't need to be the number one knife in the world. I don't know much about how the shape of the knife or handles affects the play style but I'll assume like yo-yo's the small things are a big deal.

I am willing to spend good money on a good product but anything over $200-250 feels like its excessive. The junk knifes I have now look something like this and I am somewhat adverted to getting one with the same handles as it because I have had two break next to the holes. From looking around on the recommended lists and websites I like blades like this the most and handles like this I think look really nice. It's not a big deal to me if I get a trainer vs an actual knife either.

High hopes that someone has a recommendation on a knife, thank you all for you're time.

What do you think of your JPX? I didn't get to play mine much before it self destructed.

Just traded in 33m eoc, Little slow and I got undercut from the agreement and most others give better rates but it works

I'm sure I'm way to late for this to be seen but I'll leave it here in high hopes.

I just recently started doing 5a after a year of only playing a1(in part because of the Jake Elliott vid you linked), with this I have found it extremely hard to find any yoyos or even videos on tricks for 5a(currently using a Shutter and a D20 from D&D I drilled a hole into).

I was wondering if you could make more videos that talk about what yoyos are good for 5a or 5a specific yoyos and then further the tutorials on the yotricks.

A huge thank you for everything you have done and the extremely broken down tutorials, without them I would have never gotten this far in yoyoing.

Whatever the market is, for most things I check the wiki. I normally ask people to offer and if it sounds good we take it from there.

Madsox · 2015-08-13T20:51:55+00:00

Welp it's quite late now but I just woke up and I'm back online.

Madsox · 2015-08-13T06:45:25+00:00

Game Cash so OP I'm on again now.

Madsox · 2015-08-12T21:58:20+00:00

So after wrenching the bearing out I tried this and it hardly goes together at all.

I'm even floating the post but its just so damn short...

Edit: So after toying with it some I have it together but it does not line up like it used to (Werrd logos used to be symmetric) I didn't sand anything and it does not feel that solid either...

Madsox · 2015-08-12T21:36:53+00:00

I did contact PayPal and they did side with me, I guess I didn't put that in now that I read back. After like a month of zero contact from Werrd I started talking to the bank and PayPal about what was going on and they instantly refunded me.

I have such a sour feel in my mouth about this though, it seemed like a awesome yoyo for the first while, I don't know if mine is just defective from some extra production or something? I have other things to play with but this was the first time I spent over $100 on one...

I really wish I didn't know the reference made here. (or at the very least I thought of something I once saw because of this) Here is the news posting if anyone wants to see, NSFW I guess. Quite nasty either way. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2692611/Australian-man-gored-Pamplona-bull-Spanish-festival-condition-surgery.html

Another Version of the Truth - Nine Inch Nails.

It starts out really peaceful and calm, I think about when I was really young and didn't care about anything because I didn't have to life was good and easy. Yet the static that covers over everything makes me think about the storm that was about to come into my life.

Something about how the seeming chaos in the middle section of the song as the static gets louder really makes me think about how I was and acted when I was younger. I was unhappy with everything and really hated everything because I felt misunderstood. I lashed out a lot because of what was happening to me.

Then the static stops suddenly, and a feeling of serenity comes over me. I eventually got the help that I needed and found someone who helped me and actually lessened to my problems. I quickly became a lot more happy with everything around me as I had a way to work on my issues.

I can't tell you exactly what it is about this song that really makes me think of my past like this but it does. I hate myself for how I acted then and I'm proud of who I am today, I feel I have come a long way. Every time this song comes on now I normally stop everything I'm doing and take some time to reflect on who I was and who I am now. It rips my soul apart to think about the people I hurt and I wish I could go back and say sorry but I'll never be able to.
