One thing I absolutely cannot recommend enough if you are going to be doing this is, BUY A PIVOT NEEDLE! Might seem a bit expensive for such a tiny piece of metal, but the amount of time it will save you (especially if you get one with the pivot index on the back) will easily make up for it. I'd honestly recommend picking one up even if you aren't going to be tuning, just a normal disassembly is so much less annoying with one. BaliStuff has them for anyone looking

What do you think of the Infinity? I had one with the standard blade a long time ago and I loved it. Now I have an alt blade and I don't like it as much, feel like the serpent gave it a unique feel. I like my AB 3.0 just fine. It's one of the few Balis I bought and never really felt the urge to change something on, probably it's because I got it already knowing exactly what I was getting into. I need to just suck it up and fly out to Blade Show sometime.

This makes me really appreciate the tolerances on my LDY Corvus. And it explains the price of bushing knives. Tuning bushings looks very tedious.

God damn. That is the sexiest kraken ever. No discussion

Box, bubble wrap, tape it in place, fill any extra room with Hi-Chew (edible packing peanuts), seal in sarcophagus of tape. Good to know I’ve been doing it right!

I wish I liked it more. Flips good but gets old and boring so fast and idk why. I do think each bali hes done since is worse. This was his best bali. Even the new one with the weight system I really reslly dont like at all. Like sure the blade steel is awesome. But it still somehow seems cheap and weird. The thinness is weird and I just dont think its as good as the medusa.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats such a good design tbh

Can you fix undersized?

I love the omen. Love the thinness, love the blade, love the balance. If it were closer to 4.4 or 4.5oz it would be nearly perfect. D2 isn't my favorite steel, but for the asking price of the knife it's perfectly fine.

I have a rep that is taping only on the safe handle. However after sanding it a bit the tap and scraping on the blade has only gotten worse do you know why this is? I even have a undersized bushing that I’ve used with it and it locks up on one side of the blade but the other side has lots of clearance I’m just so confused how this works. Do I sand the bushing for the side it locks up on or the side with more clearance? By side I basically mean the side with the logo scrapes but the side with no logo doesn’t. Thanks for any help!

Hey I have two questions 1 Do I need to sand both sides of the bushing or it doesnt matter 2 does the washer thickness matter? Do I have to do anything with it?

Tuned my blemished inked green krake raken 2.5 had pretty bad play bushing were a bit big and i only had 100 grit sand paper and said well fuck it. 10 circles each side about 5 minutes total from disassemble to sanding bushings to re assemble and oil with super lube and its just about prefect now. I know im just lucky because i could have easily over sanded but i wasnt about to sand a bushing for an hour lol. But for people new to tuning I'd say your right in exercising caution and using high grit taking their time and being very careful.

Good luck trying to get any of the 40 Dama kraken blades from squid, I seen one go for 800 I think it was a few months ago

Keep an eye out for the Hydro! From my experience with the prototypes at Blade Show 2022 it could very well be the "ti-kraken-like" knife you're looking for

I just discovered you, great content and reviews!

This *so* helped me! Thank you so much! I also love your “do what I love with what I’ve got” mentality. I respect that.

Your flipping is really good, reminds me of old nardath flipping videos.

Hey those transfer Ariel's are really good, what are they called? I'm having a hard time figuring out how you did the first one to your offhand.

Jelly, ab is my grail 😮🔥🔥🔥

Honestly I would drop 1k on this knife sounds amazing

dang squiggle made some really cool clones of the reaper handles🤭

I wanna see some more flipping clips…..🔥🔥

I actually really want one of these, too bad they're only getting scalped secondhand rn 😩

Reminds me of the Petrel. Glad to see you back.

I wish Squiggle would make more of these, he's been really inactive the last 2 months.

To be fair to Chinese makers, the reason they don't use True Link or USAKM hardware is because those are US-based sellers. And generally, they are just using metric hardware instead of imperial (M3 seems to be the most common size) and it's not too difficult to find replacements that will fit on, say, McMaster-Carr. Usually they won't be a direct match, since many Chinese makers appear to be using custom hardware, but at least it will do in a pinch if you accidentally strip a screw or something :) Nice review, subbed! Glad to see a review on a more obscure bali like this.

That's a nice one bro, good video 👊🏽

hi there! i'm the designer of the Omen~ thank you for your Feedback and Inputs! i'll try my best to improve the design and performance of the product. this is my very first product so i really appreciate the feedback! great video! ive been subscribed to your channel for a while, please keep making cool videos!

He's BACK

it's totally overpriced, just like every knife he makes

Oh no, not pinless again. Let it be zen pin please

das clean

Why did it sound better before the tune? No hate just wondering did you forget to oil it? Lol

Beautiful blade

ty buddy !!

Thank you Boss

Why does "tune your bushings" sound like something different?

I can tighten my bali and it stays with a minimum tap and it balances well, but after a little use it loosens again, what can I do to keep it that way and not loosen? That is my problem right now. Thanks for your comments Postscript: I have a kraken raken theone

the pinless design is cool until the harden steel blade eats away at the titanium handles over time causing handle slap witch there are videos out there about

By the first turn I would have lost three fingers

But why?

Pimp dawg

Hellz yes

For me it's not worth the hype tbh.

Lately I've had the postage itself come unglued from the small flat rate boxes and the items returned to me. Now I insist the postal workers tape down the postage, and I carry tape if I'm using the self service machines.

When I ship something, it doesn't move in the box at all...no rattles or noise of any kind....a quiet box is a boring box to would-be thieves...and copious amounts of tape....always pay for insurance...except for prohibited items...USPS won't cover lost/stolen items if they're prohibited to begin with...use UPS or FedEx for autos...never lost a package, but being cautious isn't a bad thing...I PMed you on IG btw 🙂

Some digital calipers would also help a ton.

i guess you r the Gary Vee of balisongs ?

Wouldn't making it pinless much much less durable? Like handle slap
