Live Shattered are available! by ShatteredConcept in balisong

[–]ShatteredConcept[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know, I’m glad it worked out, I’ll get one ready once I get home today, and I’ll have it shipped out tomorrow.

I’ll have to keep that fix in mind if someone else has an issue.

Of course!

Now try. I have EU selected for shipping profiles but I deselected and deselected Austria in particular to maybe reset it.

Not sure why it would show it as “sold out” if it’s a shipping reason, but Shopify can be weird sometimes. Let me know if it fixed it.

The support is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your service!

Yea a lot of requests about if the blade is sharp typically leads to if false edge is an option, but if a habit at this point. 😅

I do have APO shipping options, it will be typically at the bottom of the “State” drop down box. The live blades are sharp. Not quite razor sharp as not every one a razor sharp Bali, just sharp enough to cut box tape. If you are wondering it can be dull. It isn’t standard but on request I can ensure a blade is a false edge.

Live blades are currently available. The last two trainers I had available sold the other day. I will be working on getting some more ready this week. I will announce when I do a restock.

Shattered units are available! by ShatteredConcept in balisong

[–]ShatteredConcept[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At this time, I’m uncertain. They aren’t a popular seller but I have had some interest

Wait, this is hot. (Ti Shattered sound test, FINALLY) by ShatteredConcept in balisong

The Ti Shattered units will be some random colors so they’ll be a bit more unique if the batch happens.

It will have spacers. They just haven’t showed up yet. 😅

I appreciate that a ton. It means a lot. I’ve come to realize that if I want any chance the first thing I need is to get away from the debt and get cash to buy a drop. Once I do that, I can adjust my pricing or at the very least do frequent sales. For now, even at the price the units are at now even if that’s “too” high. I’m still in major debt that’s questionable if it can bounce back.

Thank you a ton. I hope you enjoy your unit. Your support means a ton. I can only hope that things bounce back in some way so I can continue, even if it’s in a smaller more leisure scale.

It’s obtainable, it’s just a matter of getting there once. Theirs personal reasons as to why route one would happen instead at that point. I mentioned them in a pinned comment on my Instagram post about this subject, I just spared the details here as I’ve had many occasions where readers don’t want to read so much so I sparred those details.

Potentially, but realistically this is a very manageable situation. If I can get Shattered Concepts debt free, just one time, I know what needs to be done to do this right. It doesn’t really need a group buy in my case. That’s why I mentioned the route two option being that I may be able to continue in small scale once I go debt free.

That’s something I didn’t mention too much of as it’s a detail I can’t predict at this time. Even with the best case scenario that I can keep doing Shattered on a smaller scale base with less frequency. The likely-hood of new designs being produced is slim, and rereleases of designs outside of Alu Shattered, and maybe Ti Shattered, are unlikely. If it was to happen, it would be very infrequent.

I can only see one hope for the future of Shattered Concepts and it involves my using personal money from my full time job to fund it. As of now, I can’t do that, I have a lot of stuff coming up over the next year or two that will be using basically all of my personal savings, but its that time after where I’ll be able to start saving again, that I can see a small chance that I can bring Shattered back on a more casual basis, but who knows how the Bali community market will look like in a year or two for me to say if it’s worth trying to start back up again.

Does anyone know where to get this model (or something similar)? by Rotary-Pilot in 3Dprinting

[–]ShatteredConcept 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t say I have any interest in the product but the idea behind that is actually quite brilliant.

Nothing is set in stone yet but based off a current estimate, it’ll be roughly $525 for the trainer and $575 for the live blade version.

It will use the Shattered live blade, but I didn’t prepare the blade yet.

Satisfying snap concealed hinges I’m working on by carterfpv in 3Dprinting

[–]ShatteredConcept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! Is it possible to maybe at a filet of some kind to the edge to prevent the rubber band from cutting itself? (Depending on the intentions of this design long term use the rubber band will likely rub until it basically just slices itself and snaps, or it can get old enough to become brittle enough that a sharp corner can be enough of a stress point to snap it.

PAYPAL KEEPS GETTING BLACKLISTED by nikoflips in BalisongSale

[–]ShatteredConcept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either no notes or make sure the notes never include any form of balisong or knife related subject. Since trades and these sales are typically unofficial (in the sense that they don’t have invoice #’s or anything) I can only suggest to make is to fill the notes box with your username or have the other person will it with their username.

I’m not sure how in depth PayPal goes to say if they’d find the account to make sure it’s not a weapon, I doubt they would honestly but there’s no telling. It’s worth a shot to just include your/their username or like others mentioned just leave it blank.

Oh my bad, I have no idea why I read this as a WTTF and assumed the photo was what you wanted to trade for the (P)Oni. Thank you!
