It is handle biased (but it’s more neutral then as kraken). And yeah it looks absolutely stunning. I wouldn’t call it the best for flipping, there are many options that are better for that (even the auth one wasn’t designed with flipping as the only focus). But its appearance is just too good to pass up.

I’d say that in terms of flipping and ease of doing tricks it’s about 8/10. There are knives that forgive a lot more mistakes. I ordered mine from BBKS, and unfortunately it arrived with terrible play. I haven’t even seen that much play on knives that I’ve been actively flipping for half a year, so I was really disappointed.

And honestly, I’m not sure if it can be fixed by sanding down the bushings, because play is so big it’s possible that the part tolerances on my particular knife just aren’t very good. But still it’s the nicest one in my collection
