Sometimes our worlds have to be shaken, for us to realize how strong our foundation truly is. Always remember, " it's not the Bali, but the flipper who weilds it..'.... Wicked Sic!! will always be in the nearest mirror..😀😀😀😀😀😀
I don't think they would discontinue the Prysma line if the new offerings weren't a superior product. We know Machinewise is committed to quality, and I have no doubt that if the Tottori and Sasori didn't measure up, the Prysma would stick around. As for the SlifT, that one does hurt because the SlifT was such good bang for the buck in terms of a ti balisong, but I would be shocked if they don't have something new in the works to replace it.
For real. So many people used to gas up how good their stuff was, because it was genuinely good. They make the announcement, and suddenly nobody has faith that they can make something good. No way they would ever pull beloved products and put out an inferior product. Im sad I never got a slifT, but Im still excited to see what they are cooking up.
I’m. It worried about quality I was excited for the new stuff it looks cool but o wanted it buy a prisms pro and sift when I got to uni in a country where shipping isn’t 4x the price of the product
I feel like their optics would have been infinitely better if they just put everything "On Hiatus", release the Tottori/Sasori, see what the response is like, and then go from there.
The slift is the best bali I’ve ever encountered. The idea of having to pay 3x the price for endangered examples is devastating.
As much as I was crushed by this news, I doubt that 5 of the best balisong manufacturers on the planet decided to discontinue 3 of the greatest balisongs in the game without good reason.
These things are about to be insane
Everything changes and evolves. If we cling to what we have, we can never grow.
With that being said, the SliftV2 is one of my favorite balisongs. Liked it so much that i bought 2.
I am excited for the new designs.
For me, no matter how jaw droppingly amazing the sasori and tottori possibly turn out, i don't think i could ever flip one and be happy about it just specifically because they introduced it at the same time they got rid of the prysmas and slift, almost like trying to replace them; like the prysmas and slift had to be gone for this to exist
I’ve watched this video a couple times and my favorite point you make that I feel like a lot of others dont is that these dont feel like machinewise balis the length, design, and construction dont feel machinewise to me but we hope that the quality and affordability remains machinewise because that’s my favorite thing about machinewise
RIP slifT and prysma lines. Looking forward to the future of machinewise products
Just yesterday I watched Will Hirches video on the history of Machinewise with the man himself.
Machinewise (I don't remember his name) said: "I remember wanting to discontinue the Serif in favour of another bali, but it's good that I got talked out of it", but this just feels the same as that situation. So you gotta wonder: what changed?
Im so thankful to have red/green prysma pro live blade from the thanksgiving sale. Change is hard when its something close to you but im excited to see what happens. Lots of times we come out ahead
After hearing this news, I bought a custom blade and a speed channels Prysma pro to blade swap with my v2. I have wanted something like it since Machinewise started with the custom stuff.
bro been through a rollercoaster of emotions recently😭
To say the least
For some reason we have little faith in machinewise, they made this decision obviously because they think these new balisongs can top their old lineup. Let’s just play it by ear and trust that they know what they’re doing because they’ve proved that multiple times. I’m super excited for the live blade personally
Im excited to see what ppl think of the new products
The one time I got FOMO was with MachineWise products and I’m so glad I did. I still need a purple Prysma Pro, hopefully there will be a few more. I’m sure whatever Deylan came up with the new models will be amazing as always!!
Its actually a good sign as a growing busniess, theyre able to move older products aside and have the freedom to innovate and make even cooler stuff for us! And plus, most people own those balisongs at this point, and you own them too so why so sad? This is not a bad thing in any capacity. So i honestly dont see why people are losing their minds about it. And thats not to say that 18months from now they wont put them back up, or at the very least do limited drops of them or whatever. Either way man gotta look at the bright side, and with you being such a large channel and reaching so many people, what you say and your sentiments will absolutely affect how people think, especially people who are new to the hobby or dont follow everything closely like some of us do. And how can you say the new bali dont feel like a MW product? We've only just seen a teaser. What you shouldve said was, this new bali is exciting bc MW is innovating, ultimately succeeding, being able to be creative and in the process keep offering us some of the best flippers! The way you talk about it makes it sound like they're doing something wrong. Tbh i dont like the negativity. How would u even speculate that these new balisongs wouldnt "flip"?? 😂 and dont get me wrong, youre free to express how you genuinely feel, but i just think you could help the meta and how people perceive things in a better light by being more thoughtful about your tone and exactly what you say. MW receiving hate and negativity bc they are changing just goes to show how, unfortunately alot of people are just short sighted and immature
i mooooostly agree but i was always sadly never able to get my hands a MW product and now that MOST of their stuff is DC i will most likely never be able to get one besides a prysma pro
@@zacthefishy6036 i understand that and i know how it feels, especially since you cant get a "new one" directly from them. BUT theres always going to be some on the secondary market so tbh you can and will be able to get anything you want to some degree
@@0ViciousV0 ya but they will be marked up ALOT for being discontinued the only thing i would want a prolly a prysma pro which i am trading for and a slift v2 or a serif which isn't discontinued so its not all baddddd
@@zacthefishy6036 i feel u but there will always be some on the secondary market and MW def said they prob will do drops of them so scalpers won't be able to charge stupid amounts, i mean some people are def gonna try at first, but hopefully nobody will buy into that FOMO and if so that will help keep the market normal
@@zacthefishy6036 i can 100% reccommend just going for the prysma or the SlifT if you're worried, and just focus on serif later 👍
When you on the fringe of a hobby that's already fringe and anything but widespread, or even accepted - and 'in the community' (which is also a extreme echo chamber) it's setting yourself up for cognitive dissonance when a **company** makes commercial and financial decisions for themselves.
I was planning to get the pro on my birthday, seeing there’s absolutely no negative reviews about the pro. Machinewise doesn’t need to blend in with other balisong makers, it can stand out and be one of the best balisong makers out there with the unique maryn platform, and im certain people also really like the customization options, because people that has different preferences can have the perfect balisong for them. In conclusion, i think that it is a downgrade looking from now, i hope machinewise will bring atleast something that makes machinewise, machinewise
i will 100% cop a sasori, it is one of the prettiest balis i have seen (aside from the serif) and that blade shape is one of my faves
kinda sad because I was planning on getting the prysma pro eventually, but I probably would get the squid industries krake raken instead now
Verily, thy artistry with the balisong doth rival the grace of a swan upon the waters. Thy deft manipulation of its blades doth weave a tapestry of elegance and skill, reminiscent of the finest artisans of yore. Thy mastery of this ancient craft doth inspire awe and admiration in all who behold it, for thou art truly a virtuoso of the highest order.
Killed alot of my excitement too. Im excited for new models but not if i have to trade a prysma lro or slifT for them
I'm glad I took your advice and got one when I did
i personally never had that much interest in the prysma pro but im aware of how amazing it is at such a low range price, sad to see it go for all the people who loved it. here's hoping that the tottori has the same quality and is in a similar price range
I’d hope for special drops every now and again of the pro and slift but I am excited for the new stuff. Just sad I wasn’t able to get them as I am new and have other things to do before buying balis of that cost based on where I live. Really wanted the pro as my first premium trainer and then slift as my first love blade guess it’s back to hoping for a tanto kraken
I adore the SlifT and it being discontinued is a shame. However, I look forward what MW does next
I managed to get my hands on a new prysma pro from balisongsale just a couple days before the announcement… extremely disappointed by the news but I feel awestruck with luck
I was planning on picking up a Slift for my birthday as it's been a balisong that I've been wanting for about a year now; I was really close to being able to buy it but now it's discontinued.
I understand how you feel, but dont give up, if you really want one look on the secondary market. Not everyone is a scalper, you can find really good deals no cap
I felt kinda a similar level of disappointment when i heard the news but then i stepped back and thought well i already have a serif, opus, slift, and prysma v1, and i wasn't thinking about buying 2 of the same just to support machinewise assuming most of machinewise customers are in the same boat maybe his market wasn't as big as before it seemed like for a while stock wasn't selling out quite as quickly as in the past i originally assumed that could've been ramping up production but maybe thats decreased demand so does that mean a product should still stay in production just because i think its good i personally don't know if ill buy the new offerings i hope they're just as good and interesting to make me want to buy them but with the size changes and personally the blade shapes just dont intrigue me ill wait to hear some reviews but at the same time im not thrilled these are some of my favorite knives in my collection so its disappointing that more people won't have the opportunity to acquire them new the only thing i truly regret is not getting a prysma pro i just figured it seemed to similar to the v1 to make me determined to add it to my collection and if i changed my mind they seemed to always be in stock but now i wish i had at least gotten one to experience it and probably would've tried to get the live blade so id have another blade shape on the maryn platform to experiment with
You might think the hobby is “dying” but personally I actually enjoy flipping myself and am not interested in shit like if x knife is out of commission, I’m thinking ab my skills before of anything else, and there is forever room to improve.
slayed😢
Damn i was planning to get a prysma pro on my birthday
Pretty sure we have confirmed atleast one more drop of prysma pro which will probably be blue
i'm just sad i didn't get a chance to buy a prysma pro, it's gonna be so much more tedious to get a new trainer blade for my serif
Well machinewise did say that they have a lot of Prysma pros still and they will be releasing them in drops over the next few months, keep your eyes open and maybe you can snatch one
welp always wanted to own a slift and never got the chance to buy one, guess ill never own one.
when you have tested em out can you compair them to the +HBB version if you are able because as I understand at least they are different in some ways
Yes they are different but the green ones were hard enough to find as it is because they've all been discontinued
@@BladeBias id be nice to know how they stack up against the timeless
goes the twirl that you do from like 0:16 to 0:19 have a name? is that kinda like an extended twirl? or is it just a twirly thing you adlibed?
It’s a full twirl to a horizontal half orbit
@@appalachiantails4 thank you :)
I wonder if they'd consider bringing it back if they grow to the point of having the capability to make the old stuff and the new stuff. As I understood, they just didn't have the staff and machines to make a meaningful amount of both.
A Prysma is one of my grails. Prysma Pro, v1 or v2, I don’t care, as long as it’s a MachineWise Prysma. I loved its purple color, and it was one of the few times I wanted something purple. Sadly that won’t be happening.
honestly, good on ya for stepping back and thinking it over first rather than immediately react, even if you still don't like the decision. so many people are acting entitled about it calling the change a "bad move" or "machinewise messed up" when really it's just more of a personal disappointment. sure the platform was nice while it was here, but it's not like they owed anyone to keep it
wouldn't be surprised either if they're convinced to keep the old stuff around but in smaller drops
I’m making wooden replicas of popular balisongs and I think the prysma is a great design. Who thinks I should try it?
Any other suggestions? I’ve made a Krake Raken and a nautilus, as well as a alpha beast, like the beastwood, stuck on what to make next.
Can you make a shortstop or chaplin tutorial please
they have plenty of those online
Good thing I have a prysma pro and slift lol
NICE!!!! im trading for a prysma pro
@@zacthefishy6036 W💯
Your camera a little bit low
balde bias
...
honestly really lazy move in my opinion, everyone LOVED every product they had. their new knives are so simple and the blade doesnt scream machinewise whatsoever. not to mention the handles are just worse looking serif handles but sandwich. its almost like when a company is dying and trying to make a comeback but, machinewise wasn’t dying at all.
Agree but they would probably hold up all the other products if their team was larger than 2 or 3 people iirc. Having to constantly make the same products with no time/material budget for experimentation probably gets boring
@@appalachiantails4 leaving the maryn platform is crazy though, they could also just do product runs and not make all products at once, that would leave room for new and old products to be made/brought back
That's just a stupid stupid business move on there part
broo
We'll see
they are trying to make it more standard
I'm just sick of Japanese balisong designs.
Why?
@@Budgie_Flips It just feels mall ninja to me.
@@LukeDukeTilDeath1 yeah idk i dont disagree but i havent seen a lot of them
