r/balisong

Since the scales are open source, I imported them to blender and modified them to my hearts content (pun intended). This REALLY changed the flipping performance, it has so much more grip and fits my weight preference SO much more than the og kite al

Man, this thing is awesome.

A lot more lightweight than I expected, it sounds really good (it's like a hollow ring), the ice pick is bouncier than my Serif, it feels quite neutral with plenty of end weight to rip through fans, and the jimping actually sticks out from the G10.

The packaging is great too, as always with LDY. Comes with their bandaids, a big microfibre cloth, and their circular screwdriver. I thought it would be a lot harder to get used to the reverse tanto than it actually was, but it's not an issue almost at all. The tip is diabolical, though, it will pierce skin at the slightest touch lol

In this shot, we've got a selection of American-made balisongs from HazeTac. From L to R:

Pleroma #008 (plain satin, first Pleroma to actually be produced)

XL DMC (jeweled with high-volt lime green ano by Bali Jesus)

C-Devil Kukrisaw - Miami Noice '69 (blano'd and ano'd by Bali Jesus, blade engraved by HazeTac)

I can still do professional speed channel as well

Good beater&flipper

My first Machinewise Bali! Toxic ano opus v2.. they really don’t play about their quality holy moly!

handling on this thing is amazing, gotta try the zippy weights that everyone speaks so highly of.. my only little nitpick is that the handles are a lil slippery (imo)

Want to get my hands on a sasori now..

Voting is now open! Take your time to decide what design you want to be produced at nabalis.com

Knew I wanted an Anser, wasn't sure how I wanted to mod it, but since I have yet to see a toxic ano on one, I decided to be the first. Kept the factory gold spacers because the color is so rich and vibrant. That was the right move since I wanted a more blue and purple toxic, so the gold is a fantastic accent. Very happy with how this turned out.

This is a long shot but does anyone have a benchmade 51 they wanna give up?
