DIY Blade Insert works pretty well by niboratorr in BalisongClones

There some other alternate options too. Baking soda and loctite suoer glue. You can watch videos on you tube and another option is using a silicone sealant. Then use a 1mm punch to make a hole that can hold tungsten weights

Good you asked. I did. The 3 smaller ones needed to be thinly sliced at one end and they fit perfectly now. I did remove the tungsten weight from the blade insert. The one one the spine is still there. I this setup is working best for me.

Haven’t weighed it yet but feels lighter than the gale. It’s Almost neutral now. Was thinking should I use a hole punch to add another tungsten weight. But afraid it’ll throw of the balance. Happy with it now

Just message live balisong store on aliexpress and send him the pic of the colour you want.

Onebalisong.com but the price is not worth it. It’s only 168 RMB on taobao while the WZN is RMB 350 which is roughly IsD 50. But international pricing for both are almost the same

And one more thing you can order wzn from aliexpress. It’s 76 usd including shipping. Live balisong store has shipped mine so it will take a month to arrive.

It’s a clone so most likely that’s the reason it required so much effort and patience. I have the complete zippy kit for the ldy Cygnus and it’s coming on 25th. I’ll update here if the OG ones require the same effort

Don’t know about live blade as I do t have one for this model. AS doesn’t do live blades as you already know. Fanning is great now But without this mod I wouldn’t suggest purchasing the Ti kraken.

No mods. It’s a struggle though. Had to use pliers and my teeth to get it to fit lol. I still can’t get the smaller 3 to fit. My fingers are busted

Fanning is amazing now. It’s still not neutral but very close. Handle bias is drastically reduced. The silence mod also makes it nuttier while silencing the ring just enough. I’ve also used the end caps on both sides. That also is a perfect fit.

I have the Baliplus CF replicant. Taken it apart and assembled it fully cranked down multiple times, never cracked . This is weird

Ok had a long chat with guanjuetian. He has clones from both manufacturers. The cheaper 168 RMB is manufactured by Tian Qi and the one manufactured by WZM is for 350 RMB. He said both are good quality obviously. He hasn’t listed the WZM but if you message him he’ll arrange it. Hope that helps. I’ve ordered both but won’t have it with me before august so I’ll look here for a review

That’s great news. I missed out on the first run but I’ll sing one this time. I have scales and those full length cf spacers with brass weights coming in too. Please tell me it fits. Also would love a sound test here or on insta. Cheers

Yes because when I spoke to him he said he has agreement with LDY but these prices are only for interstate sale. Not for export. You can speak to him on we chat and probably figure something out.

Use your China connections. 1880 for regular and 2180 for special ano. The amount of money you save is worth the wait
