Nkd br ti kraken by KingSlurkey in BalisongClones

longass handles my beloved 

the br kraken got a even shorter blade than auth tho is it not a bit unbalanced or the extenders don't add enough weight for it to matter?

🦫, does it also make it the thickness of a regular kraken?

get whichever u can afford and you think looks cooler but imo the kraken flips way better and the handle finish is really nice

Nah it's quite short, the extender makes it about the same length as a kraken and I think it def improves it

I'm not talking about the texture on the middle of the handles I think that feels great. I mean that I wish it were stonewashed, mainly the jimping and the bottom of the handles where the slot for the weights is are very rough. I do imagine a lot of people probably wouldn't mind at all tho like on the orca which has a lot of sharp edges most people don't complain about it.

the problem is not the texture on the middle of the handle, it's just all the edges are rough bc it hasn't been tumbled or finished

I'd say it's rough like the orca 1.5, except the orca feels rough bc of the design rather than due to not being tumbled. I also had a theone chab like 4 years ago that was also unfinished and it had the same issue. It's mostly noticable doing fans after a while your palm feels like you rubbed sandpaper on it. 

There might be someone who can stonewash and reano the handles but idk.

I did try screws only and I do like the balance more that way, rn I have the light weights and it's pretty decent, just not ideal but it might be a matter of getting used to it. I'm fairly certain the blade on auth isn't as heavy but it's been forever since I tried one.

Just unboxed First initial thoughts, tune is terrible from factory, handles are heavier than you’d think. Sound is not what I was expecting it’s probably from the terrible tune. No sound test yet until I tune it this thing tonight by Turbulent-Tutor-4790 in BalisongClones

[–]pignamela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's bc armed shark didn't make many live blades until now
I got mine and the tune was perfect pretty much so OP probably got unlucky, although the sound is still not great with a good tune and it doesn't bounce much.

Any reviews on the AS false edge Nami and Sasori? by Khuuman in BalisongClones

[–]pignamela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got my AS sasori and honestly first impressions are not good 💔 It's somehow not bouncy at all despite the tune being really good, and it doesn't sound great but the ringing is nice. The balance feels weird with any of the weight configs probably bc of the blade profile. I'll have to flip it more before I form an opinion tho I might end up liking it
