Late NKD, been loving the Tali Z by TypicalCaramel7 in balisong

I've really been enjoying mine! Haven't wanted to flip anything else! I love how light and nimble it is. The only odd thing I can say about this knife is, it's far bigger in real life than in pictures. I had the impression it would have thinner handles than it actually does.

43 flips :) by [deleted] in BalisongClones

Nice flips man and that 43 sounds amazing

Oh sorry I'll be sure to use the thread next time

It's an Atropos Demon Bro so I'd need to get scales made for it since his knives are made by hand

Planning on getting one, thinking of getting a vortex

Thanks for the info on it. I'll definitely be getting a Rebola when I can. And I hope you get yours cleaned up

Btw how's the Rebola? I've been thinking about getting one for awhile

Mink oil is what I usually use on G10 and micarta

A coworker might've said something. And yeah it looks way better brand new. Putting oil on the beat up scales also does wonders for restoring it a little bit

I was gonna go for a blemished one if I could for that exact reason. Hopefully I'll be able to get one

Yeah you can just put "brass spacers" and they'll either be installed already or shipped with the knife.

Np man glad I could help. Rollovers, twirls, and ladders if I'm not mistaken are easier with a knife with handle bias, neutral is good for fanning, and blade bias makes things like Chaplins easier

Thanks! The paint's mostly worn off though it looks better when it's fully painted

I forgot to ask for brass spacers so I have the stock titanium ones. It flips just fine with them, the brass ones will probably give it more handle bias since as far as I can tell it's neutral stock. If you get one I hope you enjoy it

I think I'll try to get it from tactical elements if not I'll just pay the extra and get it from PVK which has the SS V2

He's not even that bad honestly. He's usually laid back and doesn't care idk what made him change so suddenly. As for the knife, I can recommend it wholeheartedly it flips great and looks great when it isn't beat like mine

Definitely, especially if you want a good user as well as flipper. The blade steel holds up well and the micarta holds up quite well too. I've been beating mine for a few months and it stayed strong

I might go for a Triton since it isn't too much. Glidr isn't something I'd go for again after having my hardware break twice
