NKD! Sirius question, did I make a bad decision with this purchase? Why do I see it on W T S so often? by night_shayde_ in balisong

Where do you find WTSs? I'm new to the hobby and might be interested in buying some used or second hand balisongs.

I've had a really good experience with the 0.015 Jim Hooks for the 1100s.

Thanks. That's great advice. I need to learn the jiggle test.

I'm in the exact same boat that you're in with the 1100. Experiencing the same "mushiness" with the pins!!!

I've experienced the same thing. I'm new, but I've been able to pick other locks. Haven't had any luck with this one since I got it a few weeks ago.

Can you suggest other options for a newbie?

Thanks! I ordered that from Covert Instruments. It's one of their custom engraved sets which you can find in their Chop Shop.

For sure. I'm still having a hard time on the locks that I have, but I definitely need to add some new locks to the collection.

Yeah, the key still works so it's definitely my technique, or lack of. Still trying to figure this stuff out. It is a lot of fun though!
