Very informative. Could you make a video about balance types next? Like handle/blade heavy or neutral and the weight distribution. I think that would be pretty interesting

[@MonsieurBalisong]

Good idea!

[@disukoflips]

the reason the mako is slippery is because of the bead blast, different finishes on aluminum make it way more grippy (or at least in my opinion)

[@Ram-xs3hg]

g10 feels really good

[@birdman7500]

I had XKknives put an orange peal finish on my chab. The thing is amazing now. The texture really improves the experience

[@MonsieurBalisong]

This is true! An orange peel makes raw titanium much more fun to flip

This is a very well done video mate I really enjoyed watching this

I think the sound differens is becouse the aluminium bali is a trainer so the holes in the blade produce a ping sound and the handles dont have holes in them so the sound gets traped and sounds bad, while the live blade has no holes in the blade which provide a deper and better sound. Thats what i found when i compared al my knifes

[@hourglasseyesflipping]

My BRS channel BB didnt sound like that though and its basically the same thing

You're missing a material texture, and it's actually my favorite one: Knurling.
Balisongs like the Talisong Z, the Ultralight, the Konig, for example. If you have an effective knurling, it doesn't matter if the balisong is aluminum or titanium--the grip is going to be amazing.

Need a community standard video for best tuning method for Bali’s. From fully disassembled to tuned. What order to put each piece in, how to mark washers and bushings to reassemble properly.
Have seen countless posts about poor tolerances and it’s all self inflicted by someone who “tuned” their Bali.

[@MonsieurBalisong]

🤔 I'll need to look into this

[@abekaminski2294]

I'm guessing the reason textured ti doesn't grip as much is due to surface area contact with the fingies

[@alecgross12]

What about carbon fiber?

[@user-ww2nd4co2p]

i have a v1 triton and can confirm it’s slippery as fuck

[@gaNull]

ah yes comment is all bots
