A few updates since we recorded this (which was nearly two weeks ago): The Sasori sold on a recent drop at $200, but will retail for $220 Tottori is $450 Machinewise WILL have stock to sell at the show!
that merch hoodie story reminds me of when i went to a basement concert recently and the drummer was at the door handing out masks/earplugs/water etc and complimented my shirt i didnt recognize them until the moment they said "hey, i like your shirt!" and panic mode set in so hard that i hit them with a really polite "oh thanks, william" and walked on past em
The sasori is the aluminum design and has a specific texture, the tattori is the titanium design which also has a different pattern. You can tell by the wavy texture for tattori and the other is sasori.
Having a Sasori right now, I quite like it. Even if it’s a pre-prod model it has me excited to try out a Tottori some day (when my bank and parents are fine with me buying a liveblade, highly unlikely). Though it isn’t on the ol reliable maryn platform, it makes up for it in it’s uniqueness. I sure as hell have never seen a blade shaped quite like a sasori blade yet.
If anyone has more correct information feel free to correct me but I'm pretty sure other than the Benchmade 87 & 85 which were on bearings none of the Benchmade Balisongs have ever been on bushings other than aftermarket mods

Sasori translates to scorpion or scorpionfly, and tottori translates to bird or "to get." They're both Japanese.
The time is finally here! A few more days and I’ll be headed to meet you guys! I’m so stoked for this weekend!
