And will fit amazingly into my new custom leather A51projects burrito style Bali sheath. Excellent video and even better knife.

    Not gonna lie, i've heard about this knife like 3 months ago, really hesitated to buy it. Then you post the Chaplin video and it was the green light to me, jumped out of the bed took my credit card and bought it (off Aliexpress for 89€ on discount, French viewer here). Just received it, i'm usually not a fan of sandwich but man... this thing is tough. And there i am just listening to you saying that it is great and agreeing with you. Great video as always. Btw i would love to watch sound equipement videos on your channel as long as the videos keep this humoristic tone, we are here for the memes.

From what I’ve heard about threadlocker (loctite) it’s tough to break free from the threads, do I have to wait till the loctite is weaken by using my bali a lot and then I maintenance it or?

    Ok, editing tip. When you do a wipe transition for broll( like the one in the first 5 secs) you should use a thing called speed ramping, speeding the footage up Spector the cut. It just makes things generally smoother. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Also a great vid tho

    Also, I have the gray version of this knife and I absolutely love it! It’s my favorite flipper by far. It’s very light compared to my Lucha which I very much enjoy. I highly recommend adding this to any Bali lover’s collection.

    hi, a viewer from china here
    the serpent striker 2.0 in china is about 50 dollars. i owned the version 1.0 with titanium parts (not the inlays), about 55 dollars, i defenitely recommend it, but i would say snatch the 1.0 if u can
    another tip is to get extra hardware, if you drop this on concrete, the bearing steel balls might feel weird and unsmooth
