If you got this knife let me know what you think! I'd love to see more people getting into flipping and modding knives. If you have any questions about the mods leave a comment or DM me on Instagram and I'll help you out! EDIT: It would seem this is basically an ELB Mamba clone so, while I would still suggest it for $30, If you have the money, please buy a real Mamba to support ELB!

Wanted to get into Balisong flipping and found this video a long wile ago and I have to say this is a great video and a great suggestion. Still use this knife as of now and it still works great. Only thing is that I had to end up cutting the latch of because the plastic handle covers came glued on and don’t move even after taking every screw out. Still great and would highly recommend this trainer to anyone interested.

Great vid man, upgraded from an absolutely garbage $10aud one to this one and the difference is huge! Whilst trying to remove the latch though I've come into a problem, even after removing all of the screws, the G10 wont budge, not in the slightest, even with pretty hefty force. I'm assuming there's glue as well, any way of getting rid of this? Cheers in advance.
@gianaloi7342 3 жыл бұрын
Hey, I know i'm pretty late, but I also ran into this issue and figured it out. The g10 is glued onto the metal part. I just took a razor blade to wedge it in by the pivot and separated it.

Hey Will, so I am not fully understanding how to remove the latch. Do you only do the work on the bite handle? And I’m not very good with the vocabulary so I don’t understand what screws to take out or just unscrew(I’m new to flippping). Also, for the sanding of the G10, could I just use any sandpaper I can find around the house or is it best just to leave it if I don’t have that specific one you have? Thanks
@robertyin4668 4 жыл бұрын
You only have to do the work on the bite handle to remove the latch. The screws you have to take out on the bite handle are all of the body screws (everything but the pivot screw). You only have to loosen the pivot one. Any sandpaper is fine as long as its around 800+ grit.

@@jjzxv9866 Hey, I know i'm pretty late, but I also ran into this issue and figured it out. The g10 is glued onto the metal part. I just took a razor blade to wedge it in by the pivot and separated it.

Just got one of these, haven't done the mods yet wanted to see how i felt about it before buying the extra materials to do this. Up until now i've shamefully had a $5-10 cheap heavy knife. Within a couple days of getting this even without mods i'm making leaps on bounds in learning and definitely plan to delve deeper into this hobby.

I just got mine, but the scales are glued and I can't take off the latch Edit: I ended up cutting the latch off with a saw
@mikehodges1980 4 жыл бұрын
Mine seemed glued as well. But they did come off. They were wet underneath. I think it has something to do with the coloring of the steel liners. They will (should) wiggle free. Just keep on it.

Knife (noun): A cutting instrument consisting of a sharp blade attached to a handle. I have watched 3 of your videos and none of them featured any sort of real knife. They are however well made videos and I appreciate that.

Do u need to take the latch off cause I’m scared about breaking it and I don’t think I can buy the tool set?
@WillHirsch 4 жыл бұрын
I would consider going to home depot to get a cheaper tool set to do it, it will improve the Flipping quite a bit
@repifx6479 4 жыл бұрын
I would recommend taking the risk and taking the latch off, but you can just hold the latch handle or bite handle while you flip. but thumb rollovers are kinda bad but its ok.

I just started flipping a few months ago and I started with a Balio from Spyderco LoL! But of course as time went on and watching your videos I purchased this knife to check out and to actually start flipping a real knife. I did all the mods to and you could definitely tell a huge difference especially sanding the scales. I really like the knife and have been learning on it. Now I’ve been looking at the Squid and was going to try one out, couldn’t hurt right 🤷♂️ Anyway I really appreciate your recommendations and I’m truly enjoying the channel... 👊👍
