Been waiting for this video, such an awesome review! I still remember when I brought it over at Blade Show and your hand shot up instantly 😁 Glad you're enjoying it and hope to see more content with it soon! - Roy
It's an honor to have you watch it!
i cant tell if the trainer is good or bad.
One reason for the sharpness of the dual tone versions is partially the Ano, but it has more to do with finishing. You can bead blast and tumble regular handles, but you can't do that to a handle after it's been anodized! So the milling that creates the dual tone cannot be finished in the same way with bead blasting and stuff.
Wicked Sic review!!! Excellent viewpoints and straightforward opinions. Very well done.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you John! 😃😃😃
Great video man! I’ve been waiting for this one
Thanks!
Holy crap that ariel transition was sick!
It was also 99% an accident!
Oh yeah ethan. You are damn good at flipping btw
camaro had the balls to flip the damascus krak over concrete. mad respect 🫡
great vid man! keep up the good work
Thank you!
ayyyy new ethan video pog
Wooop
Thanks for the review. Also I love this song
You should try zippy handle caps on your krt, makes it sound much better
And make it even more handle biased than it already is 😅
@@camaroEE he might’ve meant zippy blade inserts
I looove your videos!! Also I applaud everything you said about the Krake trainer, Spot on! Anyway Seriously thank you for making this comparison. I believe yours is a unique video experience and I have not seen live blade compared to the krake trainer ever before making yours an incredibly valuable opinion
That was the goal with this video! No one needs to be told that the Kraken is good, but the little differences between all of the variations hasn't been highlighted very well
So I got the tanto because I want to edc this.
I'm not the greatest at flipping but I got 3 tricks down so far with the bar fly I have.
I feel if I carry this 24/7 I will get much better over time.
A couple of my knives have tanto and I love the blade shape on the kraken.
Squids quality in machining, and your quality in videos are a good mix! Been waiting for this one for awhile!
Hopefully it was worth the wait
@@camaroEE for sure! Watching videos like your and Telesrtos, and Will Hirsch is always a treat
Btw zippy has blade inserts for the Kraken trainer to make it more neutral

Main channel vid!
Awesome review btw
Thank you!
yo i like the SAI album in the background, didnt know u were a twenty one pilots fan too!
The week that album came out was probably the happiest I was that year, love TOP
@@camaroEE favorite song of the album? mine's either no chances or choker
So I've got several clone krakens, 2 authentics being a live and trainer but ive also got an hourglass trainer blade for my real trainer. love the kraken, but have never loved it more up until i finally got my tanto live blade version. it finally made it feel perfect to me, the trainer feels great don't get me wrong but the tanto is the secret sauce, personally. I liked the tanto enough that I wanted to flip with the same feeling but no risk so I had to double down for the hourglass trainer. feels like the live tanto, but there's a tiny bit more of a handle gap on the hourglass but I'd totally recommend it if you want to feel like you're flipping a real kraken with a trainer blade
I've noticed that the ring in the Krake Raken trainer is greatly reduced simply by adding lube. It becomes muted, and actually makes it sound very nice.
The ringing from the trainer is satisfying to me, it’s my favorite part of the experience.
Nautilus v2 review one day? (Winter inked edition)
Why winter inked?
Never gonna happen
Here's my review. It's 95% the same balisong, jimping doesn't do anything meaningful and carbon scales are better than g10, still don't like it
@@camaroEE I’m a beginner relatively new to flipping with little experience ready to purchase a high end squid industries trainer would you recommend the inked teal kraken trainer or the winter inked nautilus v2?
@@camaroEE in ur video u said it flipped great and the only problem u had was the tolerance. in version 2 they claim to have fixed the tolerance issue. so im confused y u still dont like it.
Lets gooo, love your content man. Thinking of making balisong content myself. I'd enjoy seeing reviews on balisongs that are a little more obscure like certain atropos variants, amazon stuff, or even just joke reviews like the spoon/fork balisong (like the wiha review). Beyond that, there's a void in the community for skits and things besides reviews like balisong police. Anyway, I'm just spit balling, been out of the community for a while and I'm dipping my toe back in to see what's happening and with your videos it seems quite promising.
Appreciate the kind words! Good luck on your future projects!
If you have a 3d printer you can print a silencer that goes into the long hole in the blade it works a lot better than tape for me
Your content has insane quaity that merits a larger subscriber count
Thank you very much!
Watching Video, while flipping my Krake Raken!
The best way to do it!
Nice there's a new vid
Indeed
Well if they would ever drop any I'd probably get one lol when is the hydro coming I'm ready for it
Hydro seems like it'll be a while unfortunately
If the one thing that bothers you about the trainer variant is the balance than try the balance insert mod from zippy balisong it also silences the ring
I've been flipping th vulp and I really enjoy it, I find I like the light weight. How does the nautilus compare to the vulp? Cause I know it's around the same weight
Nvm I found your review lol
Cool video and all but when are you releasing the next video?
Yeah when’s the next video?
Cool comment but when is your next one, approximately?
My dual tone kraken is getting dirty right in the silver parts. Any tips for cleaning it would be great
I haven't found a great method honestly, try q-tips with some sort of cleaner on them
I've got a blem'd pink Hourglass bladed Kraken sitting in loctite jail atm. Hoping that should get rid of the ring.
Krakens are like crack. I think this is my 6th one....
The hourglass blade doesn't have the annoying ring to it
@@LuciferArc1 niiice. Guess I'll be finding out for myself in about 6 more hours give or take.
Sounds awesome 👍
Crack(en)
damn bro, u really dont like teh nautilus? ive been debating on getting either the krake raken or the nautilus and i was actually leaning toward the naut cuz im obsessed with the look. is the kraken actually better? i like that the naut is lighter.
My extended thoughts are in my nautilus review on my channel! But the naut isn't really my thing
nice video
Thanks!
Very poggy woggy
Uh... yeah
Can u do a prisma vs vortex
Maybe eventually!
I’d go vortex because better materials
You should have committed to the let’s get kraken.
No
@@camaroEE yes
What is that knife display in the background?
A simple knife stand I found on amazon!
@@camaroEE Found it
What about the talisong?
The kraken is one of the BEST things to have… because I want one… but nice review >^
Thanks!
please help, would love your feedback, i just got into flipping this week. and im so into it, i want to order a new bali. im debating on the krake raken and the squid trainer. ppl hate the blade on the krake raken, vs the squidtrainer ppl want it to be on bushings instead off washers and have jimping, soooo idk what to get. i def would pref a more handle bias as well. also the squidtrainer is out of stock at the moment on their website. would love some feedback and opinions. thanks guys.
The Kraken trainer has quite a bit of handle bias, so just based off of that I think you'd like the Kraken quite a bit more
Dang I rly want a kraken
How do these compare to benchmades balisongs?
Leaps and bounds better than Benchmade stuff IMO
@@camaroEEand half the price
The BM 85 is one of the best balisongs I’ve flipped second to machinewise/squid industries only. However, the price point on it is just not worth it. I still have one though, but I got it for $430 used.
i went a from a nabalis g10 to a kershaw lucha trainer and now a mako v4.5 and i want a kraken sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad
scaled and icy in the background, epic l-/
Epic album
Ayo new vid
Yep
I remember when squid indusrties created their first trainer the ring was very popular and wanted the ones with the ring. Now people don’t like that it seems like.
I taped that kraken trainer up too when I had it, removed it for you lol but the ring is absolutely awful.
Like I said in the video, it gave me a splitting headache
@@camaroEE I wish they’d do something like the clones have where that long bar has a connection point in the middle of it so the bar doesn’t vibrate
about your dual-tone theory, i believe it’s wrong. if you look at squid’s dual-tone highlight on their instagram, you can see that there is already a cut out on the handle, so they don’t cut out the line after the anodization
That would mean they would have to mask off the line in the anodizing process which would add a lot to the cost
I wish I had a kraken😢
Highly recommend
Not gonna lie I may be one of the few people who don't like the krake raken that much. It doesn't feel right in my hand. Just shows preference matters. I also don't feel the grip people talk about.
Everyone has different opinions
Machine wise beats all.
i have the same laptop 😭😭
Bro why is there rave music in the background lmao
SMASH 😏😏😏
Well if you prefer a neutral balance and good fans are important for you, you should avoid the trainer
Eh not really you can still fan good its just harder.
Zippy inserts would help with that
Sheesh, college review?
Horrible blade grinds all over and I have sharper butter knives in my kitchen drawer. Love the design but not worth the money I paid
Listen your content is good but at a certain point youre just complaining too much, the sound is not that bad
Listen your comment is good but at a certain point youre just complaining too much, someone's opinion is not that bad
The ring gave you a migraine for hours?you gotta toughen up bro
