  • I'm back from Cali! Flipping my JK Designs Monarch but this butterfly knife is sad, because it has no more handle gap. Very big sad and I wish I could fix it.
    Also... Zen pin monarch anyone???

    I find it so genuine how knowledgeable and inlove you are with your knives. Especially because it shows how you're a hobbyist over being someone with youtube channel about something. Which is awesome.

    You could try and find a local knifemaker and see if they had a carbidizer for frame lock knives or something and harden the little titanium bit on the handle. I don't even know if that'd work but it'd be worth a try. Idk just a thought.

    I could not imagine spending $1400 on a "premium" balisong only to have to end up ghetto rigging it with epoxy to fix its design flaw. I would be immeasurably disappointed and probably just sell it to recoup some of that money tbh

    Such a beautiful knife, I've never had a "premium" knife, my fanciest is my red Krake Raken inked tanto, it's crazy to think even the best and most expensive knives can have problems though. Also seeing a "premium knife" get flipped after handling a worm gave me a chuckle! Love these videos! You're my favorite Bali content creator!

    Tig welder. Either a build up on the tang or some tacks on the handles if you care that much.
    Professional welder here. It will work. Won't warp the handles.(if someone with actual skill does it) They should have been hardened and tempered better in the first place...

    i have thought about why dont premium knives that are pinsless like the monarch have steel l's on the inside of the handle you could mill out a portion at the base of the ears of the handles and set the l's in so the force is not pinpointed in one area. this is a common thing in folders with linerlocks but im not sure why its not more common in balis

    Ask Julien if he'd be willing to make a custom blade for you that has more material on the blade where the handles contact the blade so that you have that handle gap again. It would be wayyy cheaper to do that then getting new handles
