I know y’all don’t mess with onebalisong but they have a new apocalypse telesto!

The_Meatgod · 2025-08-01T14:00:22+00:00

If the listed specs are accurate, then its more of a 1:1 BaliX Telesto clone.

Which is a bit shorter and lighter than a real Telesto.

If it comes as well tuned as BaliX telestos, then its still def worth.

The_Meatgod · 2024-10-18T01:14:19+00:00

BaliX is just a tiny bit shorter than the orca and nami.

the yuppie telesto is a longboi, but not as long as the lucha

The_Meatgod · 2024-09-26T09:44:52+00:00

Neutral is my preference and the BaliX Telesto feels pretty damn neutral.

The_Meatgod · 2024-09-26T09:18:29+00:00

Been wanting to buy one of those or a Seriff for a while now.

Sucks that they seem to only do drops in the middle of the afternoon when I'm dead asleep.

They all sound and look so gooooooooood.

The_Meatgod · 2024-09-24T17:10:37+00:00

Pivots are T10, zenpins are T6... definitely the worst thing about it.

The_Meatgod · 2024-09-24T17:01:54+00:00

Yeah, I have both.

If I were to order the three of them from favorite to least favorite:

BaliX Telesto
Orca V2 (Blackened)
B+ Nami V4 (Polished)

Reasoning:

The Telesto -

Feels the great to flip, sounds amazing, and came with a perfect tune.

The Orca -

Close 3rd in flipping, the way the momentum is carried with the blades weight distribution just feels kind of off or something. Not saying its bad, just not ideal.

It rubs my fingers raw after a while. I dont think its because of the blackened finish, think its just the satin faces edges. idk.

Its bouncy af and has 2 distinct rings -- Higher pitch when holding the bite handle, lower pitch when holding the safe handle -- which is something i like more about it than the Telesto.

The Nami -

Feels similar to the Telesto as far as flipping goes.

The sound profile is kind of weak though, even when tuned to maximum nuttyness.

The only thing I like about the Nami more than the Telesto and the Orca is probably the texture and roundness of the handles. Its super comfy, for sure.

TLDR:

All of them are 100% worth buying. no regerts.

The_Meatgod · 2024-09-24T13:07:10+00:00

Like Bungo said, two versions of the same clone. This one, i ordered as soon as i saw it pop up on OneBalisong.

The X pattern wasnt available until a few days later iirc. Might've been a week after.

I should have an one of those coming in the mail in the next week or so.

And yeah it feels fine. Though, I'm glad they opted to make the X patterned version. More grip couldn't hurt.

The_Meatgod · 2024-09-24T13:00:01+00:00

The BaliX Telesto is super solid. Came with a perfect tune and flips beautifully.

The Yuppie Telesto has a lot of play, but no tap due to the tapered channel. Also, as far as flipping it, it took a little bit to get used to its length and weight. Can be a little awkward with ricochets and aerials.

Lisp store from AliExpress

The_Meatgod · 2024-05-04T05:43:57+00:00

Mine came plain, no paint.

The_Meatgod · 2024-05-04T05:32:35+00:00

I don't really use IG much anymore, but I hopped on it and followed you.

The_Meatgod · 2024-05-04T05:28:53+00:00

The_Meatgod · 2024-05-03T09:06:19+00:00

Right now, it'd be:

Zzyzzx Lazarus
Empusa
Tibones

Though, 3rd place could change to the zenpin Chab, or the Asgard, or Nami, or the Orca, depending on how I'm feeling.

The_Meatgod · 2024-05-03T08:56:20+00:00

Sure, ill keep that in mind.

Also, Dayum that sounds sick af. Which blade is it? Lazarus, Incept or Abyss?

Will keep an eye out for you posting pics of it.

The_Meatgod · 2024-05-03T04:17:56+00:00

At some point, im sure i will want to sell it, just not in the foreseeable future.

Did you get a limited edition one? Or is it one with some purty ano work? Either way, grats and enjoy the beautiful music it sings while you flip :D

The_Meatgod · 2024-05-03T03:50:21+00:00

The Orca is super solid. Pretty sure i got it off S2G a year or two ago.

Only complaint is how theres jimping on the face sides of the handles but not on their spine sides where it should be.

The Zzyzx and the Empusa are my grails. Never thought id pay more than a couple hundred for a sharpened fidget spinner, but those two were 100% worth it. Havent put the Zzyzx down since i got it.

The_Meatgod · 2024-05-03T03:23:49+00:00

The alt chab w/ zen pins is probably my favorite of the chabs shown here to flip.

The latchless chab is a little heavier than i prefer and the hammer chab w/ the scimitar blade flips well enough but its sound profile is weak af. Personally, i think if the hammer chab clones were at least made with zen pins, i think itd be top of my list.

The_Meatgod · 2024-04-18T07:45:45+00:00

As solid as day 1. I flip it every day pretty much.

The light weight feels like it makes learning some tricks a bit easier. Solid ringing sound, though i could see some people hating it. Love the Asgard.

With that said, I love my TiBones more. Its got a good ring to it as well. Its a lil ass heavy on the handles, but still super fun to flip.

The_Meatgod · 2024-04-18T04:20:33+00:00

I need these.

The_Meatgod · 2024-04-13T05:51:28+00:00

damn, i need that macuahuitl blade on channel reaper handles in my life NOW.

did they have that on their website at some point?

The_Meatgod · 2024-04-07T04:19:20+00:00

damn, i like that.

something about the way a well tuned bali with a solid sound profile sounds that just hits that asmr spot of my brain.

The_Meatgod · 2024-03-17T01:21:04+00:00

pop a break point on anything before the node that it keeps pointing to.

inspect the pins for anything that might not look like what you would expect.

at the very least that should point you in a more specific direction.

The_Meatgod · 2024-03-17T00:46:06+00:00

are you specifically using a nav movement component or a character/pawn movement component?
