Got my 1st authentic knife (RAF Cygnus V2, Bowie, carbon fiber inlays/scales, full dlc even hardware) and it's making me want to get more authentic knives in the near future. I'm going to be getting a RAD prelude when it drops, and bxndxge Stitch V2 if I can some day.

Gonna ano the liners gold, debating doing a gold-purple fade

So cute!

It's finally here! I haven't had any time to flip it so I won't comment on that, but the first impressions are very positive.

It came in a really nice magnetic box, inside you find your knife in its sheath laid down on black packaging filler making sure nothing will happen to it. Together with the sheath, you also get spare hardware and I believe a Velcro patch with AT's logo, pretty sick.

And man, that colour. It's a lovely deep wine-red that I've never seen on any other balisong before. The last photos AT posted before shipping out must've been in some strong light since the red appeared a lot brighter which had me a bit worried, but the real thing is exactly as I wanted it.

It needs some lube and to break in so I don't know how bouncy it is and how it'll ultimately sound, and again I've not had any time to flip it yet, but so far it feels like a steal for €75 (a bit more after VAT, still a great price).

I've been out the bali world for a while now. Its great to be back and seeing all the new makers and amazingly cheap options now that are actually good. Obviously this isn't one of them but the stuff im seeing from ldy, nabalis, and others is so great for the hobby. Not to mention the availability of a lot of makers as well.

13 year old me would be losing it right now. Cant believe I have a knife of this caliber let alone a bargo, light as hell with an incredible aesthetic.

Dayummmm

yep
