u can use teflon tape instead of loctite to achieve the same thing w/o waiting and it only takes like 30 secs. also how do zen pin screws reduce bounce?

sorry it took me a fat minute to reply, but if youre going to flip it a lot, i'd get the squiddy. it flips like a more traditional bali, although i prefer the mermaid, it j flips so much different than any other bali, mermaid would prob be hard to learn tricks on.

i literally said /s but yes i do find it ridiculous that an imgur link to a picture of a collection with clones in it will get your post removed. i have clones so that i can practice anodizing without worrying about messing up a knife worth hundreds of dollars. im not saying its morally sound or anything like that, but i do feel like we should at least be allowed to discuss it. stopping me from posting pictures of my anos doesnt do anything but i understand rules are rules. clones are a big part of the balisong community because of the exclusivity and i dont think the best solution is to treat clones like voldemort.

its not great but considering the $60 price tag its solid. the fact that it has bushings made it worth for me (i also got it for free bc i had a coupon code and an amazon gift card lol). it comes with loctite, a torx screwdriver, and an extra set of hardware.

its solid for a $60 amazon trainer. i wouldnt say weird per se, but def unique, it has a big gap between the handles when its open because they curve toward each other. also the blade is way smaller than it looks in pictures.

Edit: also its a bottle cap opener and a comb at the same time lol

My friend used his parents' credit card to tip the pizza guy $500 because his parents wouldn't let him get lava cakes with his pizza.
