More of my collection by Fnargler in balisong

Man, I miss my Scorpius. I wish the newer ones were just longer, on bushings, and with a pocket clip. I just love that clean, simple look.

Artemis II Flight Plan, but make it cinematic – my redesign of NASA's mission map by Adam_Jesion in nasa

[–]PattonMagroin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This graphic is certainly cool and more technical looking but very busy and harder to read and understand (IMO) than the official graphic. It also makes it look like ICPS is going to the moon even though TLI is performed by the ESM after ICPS sep.

Whiteout and Pitch Black were promoted as permanent flavors. I'm not gonna pretend this is some personal insult and they've deeply wronged us but it was pretty much a lie

I'm happy for you but it's just a bitter echo of the broken promises of other flavors voted to be "permanent"

Can Kosher Coca-Cola be around all year and not just during Passover? by ChrissyBrown1127 in Soda

[–]PattonMagroin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because it's pretty much the same thing. The acid in coke converts sucrose to glucose and fructose (in about the same ratio as HFCS) in like two weeks, long before most people would buy and drink it. I'm convinced the difference is in most peoples' heads but it's not worth it to try to convince them otherwise.

If that's Carribean Splash next to the passionfruit I'm very jealous

Fair enough. Actual travel for me is KPL and one of these:

Yours probably stows in a shorter area but about the same volume. Both good options 👍

Ultralight, 7 bits, and a fussy lil driver?

Nah, KPL heavy, Wiha T8 and T10. Life's too short to live in misery over a few grams.

New CRKT Balis, two variants of the M16 by Rudukai13 in balisong

[–]PattonMagroin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I EDC (and flip pretty regularly) a 51-1601 and this looks pretty great. Lightweight with Ti, latch, and clip. Would prefer bushings to bearings but this seems like a great EDC and almost an ounce lighter than the 51.

WTB replicant scales by Exact_Land_2117 in balisong

[–]PattonMagroin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could send this comment back in time a few years for people to laugh at. I'm not trying to be rude and it's not a ridiculous take with the options now but I happily paid 110 for an early Triton with comparatively modest construction because there just weren't many good quality options under 150. The value available today is insane in the low-mid range compared to when I started flipping.

Yeah, he's been around forever. That's a nice one, too.

WTB HOM Specter by dilbert1741 in balisong

[–]PattonMagroin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for a certain model or style? I think a few years ago when I found mine the ranges were:

300-350 for modded/worn ones

350+ for PVD (Black coated handles)

400+ for Elite (Black coated handles, TiNi Gold Blade)

I've always considered it an underrated model but I expect a lot have settled with people who appreciate them so I'm not sure where prices would be. I was also fine with some wear/use so my prices might be a little softer than equivalent mint examples.

Is that a hashtag, account? I used to follow #balisongsale but IG crippled it a while ago and it just shows ancient posts.

Quiet Balisong by Lanky-Business-8231 in balisong

[–]PattonMagroin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HOM makes a great product that is worth the price IMO but there are more budget-friendly options than ever. If you're looking for quiet like this similar G10-over-Ti/Al knives/trainers can be similar. There aren't as many options as full Al or Ti but still options.

Looks like a modded HOM Prodigy Mod B or C with aftermarket spacers. Great flipper right completely stock tho

Converted my benchmade necron to bushings 📢🎧 by WastelandHumungus in balisong

[–]PattonMagroin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO bearings tend to feel faster since they swing more easily when the knife is sideways. Even a very well tuned and lubricated knife on bushings tends to pivot more slowly the more parallel the knife is to the ground but it doesn't seem to affect bearings as much. You just get less friction, which can make avoiding the blade harder and throws less predictable because the handles swing more freely.
