Kraken addiction is a serious problem, many lives have been destroyed by it, hope you’ll get better. anyways, great comparison, I was definitely not expecting the clone to be that good compared to the OG. I’d still buy the OG if I had the money tho, squid deserves the sales, but I’m too poor lol
I rly like how accurate you describe each of balisongs you own. But have you ever consider reviewing baliplus Chimera? I think it would be very interesting topic, considering that it's titanium for roughly $60
@@ranxxx6448 for control I’d go with the Armed Shark Nautilus, for sound the Armed Shark kraken. I have a good video comparing them both and it covers exactly these topics
I have one the baliplus titanium chimera comes on undersized bushings and has a shit load of loctite in all of the hardware basically all of the hardware bushings included has to be replaced for it to be good
I didn’t like the vulp much, felt low quality and wasn’t constructed well. I’d recommend the clone over the vulp if you are looking for a budget flipper that will hold up against some drops/daily flipping
Hey fam, I am planning to buy the clone cause all the balisongs I had were cheap 4 dollar ones that deform by the handles getting closer overtime. With that, does the clone deform overtime? Or the blade deforms cause it has those pins in the handle, sorry if my comment is confusing
Hi there, this will be much better quality than the cheap 4 dollar ones. No it does not deform over time like the cheap ones and will perform a lot better. I’m sure you will enjoy it
@@Onjunkrattypeshi yo sorry for the late reply, I didn’t buy from aliexpress I bought it from another site, sadly the seller got banned, but the bali quality I got is decent Edit: I did not get an armed shark krake, got a no brand clone
Ever thinking of doing a review of the AS mako 4.5? I wanna buy a second bali I can use as a beater next to my kraken and am tending towards it but there isn't any comprehensive reviews from what I've seen
I probably won’t any time soon since I usually only review knives that people lend to me. I don’t buy much any more since most of the spare income goes into my business
hope u havent bought the mako 4.5 yet coz mine broke on me literally. the blade on the mako snapped off + for beating i recommend the as barebones or the as og4
No 😂. The logos are different and I can remember which colour is which. I will say that if I was blindfolded I would probably have a hard time finding the difference between Armed Shark and Squid tho
have you ever checked out a Titus kraken clone? I've been seeing a few reviews praising it but I'm not sure whether it's a good idea because it's still so few and I'd like to hear a more proper review from someone as experienced as you are with the clones
I have a Silver Spiral Bowie kraken by Titus. It's $40 but definitely feels amazing and has insane tolerances and durability. It's honestly one of my best balisongs, regardless of price. If you're looking to get the Titus Trainer though I hear armed shark makes better trainers.
How’s rehab going for your kraken addiction, also its good to mention that the texture on the AS kraken is slightly off center but its really sad that clones are basically the same
Hey dude! I love your videos. Been watching the crap out of em the last couple of weeks. I own a Baliplus Kraken V3 and wanted to know if you knew where one would be able to purchase the washers for that specific bali. Aliexpress has spares for the Armed Shark V3 but not for baliplus. I'd like to grab some for future maintenance. I really appreciate any and all help! Keep the dope vids coming my guy!
Hey, i need your opinion on something. So when i got my armed shark krake raken, i noticed there was a bit of tap, so then i noticed there was a bottle of blue substance in the box it came in (It turned out to be loctite). So being the idiot i am, i used it as oil because that's what i thought it was at the time, when i realized my mistake because the handles got stuck, i disassembled it, got rid of the loctite around everything, and reassembled it. After reassembling it, the tap and play got a bit worse. So I'm wondering if i should just return it and get a new one, or find someone who can fix it, because the flipping experience after i got it reassembled doesn't feel the same as when i first opened it.
First thing I would try is to return it for a replacement, this will solve the issue. However they might not let you if you have taken it apart and used it. If that’s the case then try tightening it with a good T10 driver and use a thick lubricant like carbon honey or MucOff to try to fill the gap
@@CloneSupport just give it a try, i haven't seen anybody did a video about Shuifeng balisongs ( i am from Vietnam ,Shuifeng can be found very easily on our market so it become a no.1 option for most of us. Its about 25~30 dollars in our country). I hope u can make some videos about Shuifeng in the future
@@bmorenotless4729 if you are talking about the supposed “official armed shark website” then yea that’s a scam site. There is NO site run by the armed shark brand. I’ve heard horror stories of people thinking it was legit and then getting scammed. Stick to AliExpress and Kolisong, 90% of the time it’s cheaper to buy from them too.

Hey, would you recommend getting the clone or the Nabalis vulp? The price range seems to be very similar.

fairly new to flipping, only had cheap amazon ones with massive play. Im looking at the Vulp or AS Kraken v3. Which one you rekon is the best shout?
Personally I’d recommend the Kraken V3 because it’s just a lot better quality and will last longer.
You are putting shame on armed shark simply by comparing these.

is it possible to get a review of an armed shark Replicant? bought one a few weeks ago and would like to hear your thoughts on em
Not planning on buying one any time soon but maybe if there’s one for sale in UK that seems like a good deal I might
@@CloneSupportI gotta say mine is absolutely fantastic. Love it dearly
now AS rep vs real
Maybe in the future
I know this is old but I’m abojt to make a video myself with an as rep vs a real rep once I get the clone sometime this week
have you ever gotten confused on which krakens are real/clone and which versions etc? like generally just mixing them up
No 😂. The logos are different and I can remember which colour is which. I will say that if I was blindfolded I would probably have a hard time finding the difference between Armed Shark and Squid tho
Could u please do a Baliplus Tsunami vs TheOne comparison
I think djeyelesspyro has a video like that

its not as good as the armed shark or baliplus
zen pins fell out, don't buy this shit

Yea true
Some guy got banned from the r/balisong subreddit for saying "b+" in a comment

So far I haven’t been able to find anywhere that sells them so you may need to ask the seller you bought them from to sell you some washers
How long did it take to arrive? Also if you live in the states which state?
Takes 2-3 weeks from Kolisong. I don’t live in the states
@@CloneSupportok
@@lilbrogamer12 just don't buy from kolisong because they're a phishing website
Also can you make video about tuning or like caring for balisong ( for reduce tap, make sound better etc. )
Yes I will do that
where would you get the armed shark one? if you said it in the vid sorry i might’ve missed it
A bit late but kolisong or ali express has it

How is it compared to the baliplus kraken v3?
I think it’s a lot better. Both the finish and the quality is much better than b+
Quick question man, for you red inked or gunmetal inked
Gunmetal inked for sure 👍
@@CloneSupport i love that you always care our comments bro. Thanks !
My KrakerRaken came with hardware when i bought it brand new lol
nice
have any opinion on the yuppie kraken clone?
Yes I have plenty of videos of it on this channel. It’s not the best
How this only got 100 likes?
I guess that most missed it
If I get blem squid handles can I put them on the armed shark blade?
Yes I think you can but I really don’t think it’s worth it because it’s basically the same
@@CloneSupport oh wow ok
Can it use the hardware from squid industries
I m not sure if it’s a good fit
how about Kraken v3 Shuifeng?
I’m not too sure since I haven’t had one before. I haven’t heard great things about the quality

spiral as kraken or normal as kraken?
Broski that’s gonna be down to you. It’s the same knife, just different texture
@@CloneSupport what about the speed channels tho?
@@CloneSupport apparently the spiral has a more evenly distributed weight in the handles but it looks cooler so fuck it im getting all black spiral
baliplus have a v3 ??
Yes, I have reviews of that too
are tolerances better on clone or real?
Better on real but both are excellent
Real 100%

🔥🔥🔥❤️
50% off right now for the AS
Where’s that?

im not paying 200 dollar for a real one
Fair enough. For most it’s just not worth it. Especially if you are new to the hobby or simply don’t have much to spend
@@CloneSupport u gained a sub just by reply to me
Nautilus vs armed shark nautilus lol ur bouta go broke
Nahhh 😂
With all the tolerance issues with the real naut, I wouldn’t be suprised if the AS is better, with bigger channel and handle gap lil
idk whats going on with my armed shark kraken but it sound like a shit
You should make sure it is well lubricated and that the screws are tight
