@@taktyc that is very similar to the first ano I ever got on my benchmade 51 way back in the day, it's very fun and does grow on you I've found. However I can understand wanting a more 'refined' or like... 'grown up?' look? I think that's why I stick to neutral TI or like blackened or single colors now generally
@WillHirsch i agree i usually try to go for solid colours or just dark dietary tones like my cygnus is raw with black g10. ideally i would love the serif to be blurple so i may get it redone in blurple or maybe get it cerakoted black i’m still unsure. there’s something sleek about the ‘grown up’ look that just elevates the artwork in pretty balis
@@rainnoises2985they have it in stock to sale which is p recent, but at the time of posting this video machine wise said they use NRB think. idk if they switched to carbon honey
it’s essentially a thumb rollover. you hold onto the bite handle, let go of the safe handle whilst turning your wrist so your palm is facing down (assuming you’re starting from palm inwards icepick) and your safe handle should want to swing round your thumb and then it’s just a normal rollover from there. i’ll make a tutorial
not really if you wanted to buy one i think your best bet would be second hand market especially somce i believe serifs are out of production till the end of the year and i’m not sure what opuses are coming back.
Any idea why the sound is so different from all the oher Serifs I've heard in vids? Yours sounds amazing too but I prefer the metallic yet subtle clanks that the other serifs I've heard make
two reasons: one it wasn’t lubed enough at time of recording since i didn’t realise ss washers need more frequent lube and more to settle in, so sound was a bit clickier, and also the acoustics of my room definitely don’t do the sound justice. between my room and outside it sounds very different. it currently sounds correct and has that unique metallic hint to it that it’s known for. sounds much better now than before. it was also potentially not broken in as i had just assembled it and it could have been differently than from factory. many reasons but yeah in retrospect this video has an out of date sound.
and also i don’t have any weights in the end of my serif, she definitely sounds much nicer with weights in and most likely you’ve heard most people running the medium or heavy weight but i prefer more blade bias so i run no weights
was a pain to find one haha they haven’t been made since like june or march ish. and i wasn’t going to buy the parts separately lol since it wouldn’t be a true serif o on the birth card
combo of it not having been worked in, the opus blade sounds different, i run no weights in it, and my room doesn’t sound fantastic. if i compare outside w other posts it sounds correct
Looks incredible!!! 🎉
thank you 🙏 i wasn’t super keen on the ano at first but it’s definitely grown on me

Your reaction sounds a lot like my first reaction I love it haha
😂 glad you enjoyed it 🎉
That sound.. GOAT.
This is one of the vids I’ve been waiting for. Seeing you freak out about how nice it sound like was so great, I really wanna try this.
Sheesh 🔥
im down with the ano, i love things other than just colors/fades. splatters, sponge anos, lasers, etc
It's my favorite sounding bali this and the cygnus also you got it with the opus blade 😮
P.s. machine wise uses NRB thick oil on all their balis
ik they do but i can’t buy NRB lube here :( they don’t ship to UK
@@taktyc FYI we are changing lubes soon!
I thought they had their own carbon honey scent, 'orange-creamcicle'

What's the trick at 7:44? After the Icepick
it’s essentially a thumb rollover. you hold onto the bite handle, let go of the safe handle whilst turning your wrist so your palm is facing down (assuming you’re starting from palm inwards icepick) and your safe handle should want to swing round your thumb and then it’s just a normal rollover from there. i’ll make a tutorial
@taktyc please do, I've seen the trick here and there, and I like the way it looks and would love to learn it
May I know the customization options?
wasn’t made in the custom shop
Can you still buy them?
I really want to get one but they seem to be sold out everywhere.
I'm currently also looking at a Heibel Invictus
not really if you wanted to buy one i think your best bet would be second hand market especially somce i believe serifs are out of production till the end of the year and i’m not sure what opuses are coming back.
@@taktyc Thanks for the info, I already started looking on reddit and found some but it's hard to find the spec I want.
@@randyrivers2047probably useless to you, but the machine-wise website, custom shop, has the parts to get you self a serif
how tf do you spin it so well, its so satisfying 😩

ano goes crazy
That is one of my grails I would love to have. Update: got one. Its amazing. Just got it modded and waiting for it to come back.
Bussssssssss 🚌😫
Do you guys have an recommendations as to where I can find some good Balisongs
subreddit has some good secondhand balis/inspiration for balis you can look at getting
how much was it + the shipping cost to uk? also is it plastic?
too much haha, shipping cost i believe was like 50 dollars or smth from my proxy and no it’s titanium and s35vn steel
@@taktyc fucking hell
Its not plastic I’m not sure why you’d expect a 600$ knife to be plastic lmao
@@Inseverely didnt even know it was 600 bruh im new to this
@@bruhno146 dw lol I was just fucking with you but it’s titanium and s35vn blade steel
Bro where did you buy it? Haven’t seen those available in forever
was a pain to find one haha they haven’t been made since like june or march ish. and i wasn’t going to buy the parts separately lol since it wouldn’t be a true serif o on the birth card
@@taktyc awesome! Just out of curiosity is it possible to buy parts separately?
not from MW themselves unfortunately
What's the lubricant you're using for the balisong?
carbon honey
Bro if you ever want to sell 🙏🏼
I looked up the price was like🤐
Bro u have unlimited money or wha, tf
he has a job... and does youtube so they can send it to him or smth
@@rune4112 maybe , he does nice content
😭 i wish i got sent it lmao haha i worked for it
maybe one day i will 💪 but not yet, it’s not that unattainable if you work and manage your expenses
Rich 😭
not yet haha one day tho we’re aiming for it
no offense but ur serif sounds weird. congrats on the pickup tho
combo of it not having been worked in, the opus blade sounds different, i run no weights in it, and my room doesn’t sound fantastic. if i compare outside w other posts it sounds correct
@@taktyc hmm interesting
700$

☹️😔😔☹️🥲😭😭😭😭😭😭 realmente nunca voy a poder tener una de esas en mis manos
