Noted and noted ✏
I'm going to reduce blade weight by changing the pattern and making g10 replaceable.
That was my initial goal re: g10 but eventually decided to make everything glued because my main sell channel is amazon and majority of customers there can claim a butterfly knife as "defective" or "broken" as soon as pivots fall out... so I tried to avoid that by covering pivots with g10 but I'm pretty sure I can come up with an alternative solution
Thank you for feedback Blade Bias! All the comments, I'm reading to and taking notes so thank you 🤝

Hey it looks like a pretty solid kick into making legit balisongs for flippers. Awesome that you're willing to take feedback and learn from someone who knows the hobby well. Very smart moves from a business perspective 🫡

[@reeceniccum3755]

I’d say to still glue the g10 in but just let the pivot screws be exposed or stop the g10 right below the pivot screws either way it’s awesome to see your positive response to constructive criticism I love the design of this knife it looks like it has a ton of potential!

[@zen.amorrr]

Take all the feedback u can from the community and look into other good quality plastic balisongs on the market, your product has a lot of potential.:

[@ChronosFlips]

Could be a really good and affordable bali after a couple fixes. The blade needs to be changed completely, and no access to screws is a no go. I'm curious to see what's next from him, there's potential for sure.

Karambit bias 🥳

[@bassclef1686]

Would love to see a version where the g10 is a dovetail fit to the handle and slides in from the back with a detent. That way pivots are hidden, and the g10 is not only interchangeable but the pivots are easily adjustable

[@Kodiack308]

Reminds me of the g10 Boker plus Bali with the harpoon blade and the pivots hidden under the scales. I haven't flipped the Tech Noir but I think it would benefit from larger cutouts in the blade. I look forward to seeing more Karambit flipping.

I have the actual bladed version of that crkt provoke and I have a blue one and black one. It's a very interesting knife to use as edc that's for sure lol But I like it and it's a really cool morphing karambit

[@ALXFLP]

Love your vids man

[@33kappa1]

damn i remember a pinned in balisong being a selling point lol, how times have changed

Woah

[@little_river15]

its cool ig but i dont like it. plus piviots dont look bad and you can have different colored ones anyways making them look way better.

[@benshaminflips]

I remember seeing these on amazon and thinking it reminded me of Bruce Lee's iconic yellow jumpsuit with the black stripes

karambit bias

[@Jareth112]

I highly recommend looking into bastinelli’s pika karambit. Such a sick blade.karambit fight in the raid redemption 2 got me seriously into knives many years ago. So cool

[@meltdown537]

Awesome video! I have a CRKT provoke too! Mine is a live blade and it is pretty much always on me.

[@BladeBias]

Nice

[@chucklesdeclown8819]

there was some guy that wanted to press fit the pivots into the balisong a long while ago, no screws, no nothing, i dont know what happened to him but i think i would of heard if he made his bali or at the very least had a way to solve the slew of issues that would come with that sort of design. i wasn't able to find that design again but it was very strange. anyways ya it is quite awkward to not have immediate access to the pivots and even in the case of that design not being able to adjust if it ever gets messed up immediately. at least this has screw pivots though

[@pengwnbuster]

BF: I've made the greatest balisong in the world
BB: It's not the greatest thing in the world, it's *fine*

[@BladeBias]

I refuse to believe he calls the Bionic the "best thing in the world"

[@ortanicallity]

It definitely seems like this balisong could do with zippy caps seeing how it has too much blade weight

[@BladeBias]

Unfortunately it's still a bit weird with them

[@Koryinrl]

I wonder when it will be released

[@BladeBias]

You can buy it right now

[@LushiFlipz]

I feel like this will get out of tune and you can never tune it again it looks cool tho hakuna matata balisong sheesh edit: amazon balisongs are getting better geez also i spoke too soon with the tuneability but it is a hassle to remove and glue the g10 over and over again

[@TooSport28]

If you had to say, what is your favorite bali

[@BladeBias]

In my collection? My SlifT, Empusa, or Kraken, it's hard to pick just one

[@tellemimdoinbeetswa]

[@BladeBias]

Neither
