To answer your question at 6:45 the AB is more expensive because the entire handle is titanium. The rep has a titanium liner but plastic scales (g10). Most of the reps handle is plastic, this brings the price down quite a bit. Titanium isn't cheap to source and takes more time and labor to machine.
I like the rep more also bc of just how mine looks, my AB got anoed blue and its pretty cool but i got the liners for my black g10 rep anoed orange and it looks amazing
Id buy that knife if you ever consider selling it. or willing to trade for something else. PM me if interested. i have various ref on IG balisong community. good little review of preference.
“go buy a balio or something” 😂 😂

Plastic?? What are u talking about g10 is glass
@@matiasm.5883 fiberglass right?
@@PoofyThePandaPro right
@@matiasm.5883 im sorry to dissapoint you but fyberglass is poly plastic with glass fibers in it. its just reinforced plastic.
@@santamak i didnt really know that but its wrong to call it "plastic" btw
This dude just said if you dont know the difference, go buy a baliyo😂😂😂
Just got a standard Rep, and i'm loving it, already 1 of favs, good S#!+
did you buy it new
Yup BLADE HQ NEW THAT Utah sales tax sucks :)
@@bakergannon that's good I cant ever find one new they're always sold out
Half a year then i got it. THEY are ALWAYS SOLD OUT
the 3.0 sounds so much better than the older versions of the AB
Its more expensive because the entire fuckin thing besides the blade is straight titanium 😂
You tell em’ Joey. 😝😝
You seen the new hom blade hq is geting this next friday its sick , don't think i will get it, already have two hom bass elites, but its still sick.
Nice profile picture balitrix

I really want to get a rep but i live in nz what do i do
Stacey McNae are they illegal there
yes they are
Stacey McNae that would be a good question to ask on reddit
ah okay thank you, i was talking to e.balisc and he said you can get them shipped if the blade and handles are separate
Bruh I just noticed this you made a big ass mistake with the pricing. You said the standard rep is $279 and the select rep $240.
Lil Jimmy oopsie I meant $340 😂

jay b I sold the beast a while back and I don’t want to sell my rep but thank you for the offer :)
I would love to trade you my best two knives for that rep
my bm 51 and my crowned bb barfly
Why wouldn’t you just sell your 51 and buy a rep? They’re around the same price
