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

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.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

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

Great video man! I’ve been waiting for this one

camaro had the balls to flip the damascus krak over concrete. mad respect 🫡

Squids quality in machining, and your quality in videos are a good mix! Been waiting for this one for awhile!

Holy crap that ariel transition was sick!

ayyyy new ethan video pog

Main channel vid! Awesome review btw

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.

yo i like the SAI album in the background, didnt know u were a twenty one pilots fan too!

Thanks for the review. Also I love this song

Nautilus v2 review one day? (Winter inked edition)

You should try zippy handle caps on your krt, makes it sound much better

Your content has insane quaity that merits a larger subscriber count

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.

Btw zippy has blade inserts for the Kraken trainer to make it more neutral

Watching Video, while flipping my Krake Raken!

The ringing from the trainer is satisfying to me, it’s my favorite part of the experience.

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

Well if they would ever drop any I'd probably get one lol when is the hydro coming I'm ready for it

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.

Nice there's a new vid

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....

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

Cool video and all but when are you releasing the next video?

My dual tone kraken is getting dirty right in the silver parts. Any tips for cleaning it would be great

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

Can u do a prisma vs vortex

nice video

Very poggy woggy

scaled and icy in the background, epic l-/

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.

You should have committed to the let’s get kraken.

What about the talisong?

The kraken is one of the BEST things to have… because I want one… but nice review >^

Ayo new vid

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.

Dang I rly want a kraken

I taped that kraken trainer up too when I had it, removed it for you lol but the ring is absolutely awful.

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

What is that knife display in the background?

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.

How do these compare to benchmades balisongs?

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

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.

I wish I had a kraken😢

i have the same laptop 😭😭

Bro why is there rave music in the background lmao

Machine wise beats all.

people who miss videos like this ⬇

Well if you prefer a neutral balance and good fans are important for you, you should avoid the trainer

SMASH 😏😏😏

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

The ring gave you a migraine for hours?you gotta toughen up bro
