I absolutely love everything about those things (except press fit zen pins). Well, everything possible without actually holding one... Just some of my thoughts, or maybe more like all of them: I found a good looking deal on a V2 and I'm crossing my fingers that I like how it flips as much as I'm hoping I will. It's looking like a very strong contender for my new #1 I'm always drawn to big cartoonish tanto blades (never tried a kukri though) for their nice extra little bit of tip weight/ momentum while keeping handle bias in check, I also dig that style and the 'Dus might be one of my favorite tantos of all time! Chicken or egg type of thing; not sure if I like how tantos flip because I like the look, or I like their looks cause I like how they flip 🙃 but the Dus checks all the boxes on paper- My ideal weight (around 4.5 oz), tanto, zen pins, bushings, and Ti channels with a nice ring to top it all off. I think my 2 current favorite flippers (always changing) are Rep and AB infinity. Infinity is more raw fun imo, but has a very minor awkwardness/ instability/ quirk to it that I can't quite explain. I feel like my Rep is always predictable/ stable, hard to "upset". Also, I like the standard blade's feel over the alt blade so much more on the Infinity, really noticeable with its lighter handles. I've actually enjoyed every BRS I've flipped, sometimes I even prefer flipping a Chab with its extra momentum. I like to switch it up a little bit and BRS has been a safe bet, but man do I hope the Medusa can nail the fun factor + balance of the standard-blade Infinity, the predictability of the Rep, and satisfying quality feeling of Ti clanking that a Chab has. Yeah, I know, that's probably too much to reasonably expect but that's the idea, and if any Balisong can come close hitting all those notes, just close to "best of all worlds", it would finally be the end of my "search for the holy grail". All that's left is to try it and keep it 🤞, or, to keep it moving and sell it.
If you (anyone reading this) don’t have one, definitely put it on your bali bucket list. Definitely my favorite knife I’ve ever owned. But damn this one is absolutely gorgeous. Man I’m going to have to think about how I want mine modded again 😂
My my Monsieur, had hoped to turn to stone from the mirror finish of this Medusa Monster blade - Miserably mislead but most Mesmerized by the mind-altering mingle tingle of the Most Masterful making of the Mozart-esque mash-up mangle of sound waves. Could it only be that the Road Runner would “Meep-Meep” better? Fellowship is a ‘Mike’ contender Most assuredly!!! (Mike Jordan, Mike Tyson, Mike-Angelo… drop the eFFing Mike!😎) Mucho Much obliged, Monsieur! Makes most of Mister Masker Matthew’s mass of blades misappropriated and merely misers with mismatched masters!😋😉🤣
My man, Matthew! Me, most miraculously massaged by masterful alliteration and man-made mixes, manufactured to mash mundane verbiage as magically as a medieval minstrel? Truthfully that takes the tiramisu. Those tantalizing tricks treated me to terrifying throngs of tactful trickery, do I even know what The Taste of Tea is? Not after being served such a master class of word lasagna!
Love all your videos so far mate, would it be possible for you whip out some calipers and do a handle thickness and wideness video just on measurements ? I’d like to compare these knives to the ones I already own but these dimensional specs are so hard to find on the internet
@@MonsieurBalisong they are but a fraction of what your knives cost lol. I’m also interested in pivot distances. Can you make a video explaining the effects pivot distance and fanning feel? (Sounds like a college lecture)
If you sell it I want it bro… I’m still waiting on my telesto man… if you want to peep it out when I get it I might be able to send it your way for a bit if you want to borrow and review.. hmu on Instagram bro.. and I’m loving the smoke man.. I re did the edge and refinished the handles I’ll shoot you pix soon bro
I just got the Empusa and it is absolutely GORGEOUS. I love the way it rings while flipping and it's so f*cking unique
It's a sick knife for sure! Enjoy that bad boy

Sick impressions video! I definitely have my eye on the Medusa.
Where was Eric Andre and Danny Devito?? We couldnt see them lol.

That's a good idea 🤔 I don't own calipers but I should invest in some.

Yo is the v1 zen pins good I’m hearing mixed opinion on them
Has a bit of a JK vibe to it
