Squid Industries was awesome to work with and very cool for sending me this knife! Once I sent this one back after the review I actually bought a Dual Tone Inked version for myself in the next drop! This is such an awesome knife and I hope to get to review more of the Squid offerings in the future! Do you have anything you'd like me to review? Reply to this comment and I'll see what I can do!

Dude you have to review a rep and then compare these two. This is probably the biggest competitor to the rep and I think everyone who hasn't flipped both wants to know how they compare. Thanks :)

This and my Vulp just came in today and they both flip like a dream! I am relatively unskilled and do "safe" rollovers but when I picked this up rollovers felt so natural that I was accidentally not doing the "safe" version and nailing them. I really like the Vulp too! Perfect for someone just getting into the hobby but is passionate about the hobby. The machining and grip on it are amazing! I love it!

@ZephyrLN 3 жыл бұрын

AEB-L is a very common steel from Europe. It was originally developed by Bohler-Uddeholm as a razor blade steel and it takes a very keen edge. The steel is chemically similar to the Sandvik series of steels-12C27 and 14C28N. It is almost identical to Sandvik's 13C27 with only minor differences in chemical composition. ur welcome

I’ve been a knife collector for decades and now in my 40’s with no wife, kids, debt or any other bS! Which is a big problem when you come across Will Hirsch! So…. Now I have another obsession! Thanks will 🙏 so I have a feeling that I’ll be flipping while at the gym, which is odd to see a competitive bodybuilder flipping a balisong between sets. 😂 but my motto in life is… #IDGAF!!! Btw… Will I love your content and amazing editing and effects! So now my new addiction is balisongs and watching W Hirsch videos. 😂 it also got me in contact and was able to speak with Deylan and order a Serif as soon as he makes more. Will have a blessed day, ya got a new follower ❤

Another great review! I have a few Squid trainers, and am considering a Krake Raken. Do you have any thoughts/opinions on the flipping differences between the Krake with Tanto Blade, and the coming drop with the Bowie Blade? I’m a bit of a newbie, so not sure of potential differences re: flipping. (Aesthetics and cutting utility are pretty obvious).

@Jasmin Jarin they’re sooooooo good. Like seriously blew my mind when I tried it. They do lose tune easily but I’m not bothered by tap, so long as play isn’t too bad, so that doesn’t bother me. Overall it’s great at everything. It does take a little bit to get used to though as it’s heavier than most channel al balisongs
