    I feel like Palethius doesn't get enough credit for bringing the chandwich to fruition. His "Revolution" bali is one of the first chandwich designs that I can remember.

      I legit didn't even know that. Thank you for the information!

      I agree, his hand work is also insanely good. Now he's reduced weight across his entire lineup so flippers should be happy.

      @reviewforthetube6485 I was lucky enough to snag up one of his latest light/thin trainers and I haven't been able to put it down.

    In my experience tap/play depends a lot more on the pivot system than handle construction. My sandwich AB on bushings has held a perfect tune for years, but my channel AA on washers will forever have tap & play
    Awesome video man!!

    One aspect I would add is the grip. Channel balis with flat sides can be pretty slippery, especially aluminum ones. I can't do murnax ladders on my squidtrainer for the life of me. The gap on sandwich balis provides some grip, kind of like milling.
    Channel also adds quite a bit of material, which affects the weight. For aluminum balis, the extra weight is pretty nice, but for some titanium balis, the extra weight can feel pretty clunky, like on a chab.

    I'm all up for Chandwich/Channelwich ! then you still get channel design but there's adjustable weights

    It’d be worth adding a subsection on what the balis run on (eg washers, bearings, washer/bearing system), as this is the driving cause of play in knives. For example, a Mako will develop tap/play issues while an Antarctic will remain tight af for a while.

      I was considering adding info about that, but since I have a pivot system video, I didn't want to make this too complicated. But you are right, a washer only channel will have play

    personally the main reason i never buy sandwich balis are because the holes between the bits make the handle feel like it digs into my hands and it is just uncomfortable to flip

    What was the black channel Bali? Love that replicant🤩

    What would the nautilus be considered? The aluminum is a channel, however it has g10 scales ontop. So is it just both sand-which and channel?

    • @MonsieurBalisong
      @MonsieurBalisong  Рік тому

      Is still consider it a channel because that's what the construction is. The g10 are called scales, like the replicant has

    I will always and forever be a sandwich whore. Idc if it gets some play imo balis feel better with play and now we have amazing oil that always helps tolerances. Sandwich is coming back and most flippers i talk to prefer them. Do you know why? Because its physics, something more dense will always feel gravity and move worse then something less dense. A channel construction even at the ssme weight as a sandwich will always be more sluggish. It will not be the same thats all there is to it. Sandwich imo will always be the best for purely flipping. There is a reason why momemtum is better wnd it almost feels like it floats even when heavier aka reps. Because its not as dense of a structure.
