When I first got the knife it came tight as a drum and took quite a bit to break in the pivots. After breaking it in it flips pretty nice.
The straight razor style tang tail obviously negates the practicality of most rollovers and such. I've been playing around a bit to figure out if there is any special moves I could actually utilize the the tail for in flipping...haven't come up with anything too spectacular as of yet, but we'll see.
The balance is a bit blade biased (say that 10 times fast
) because there is so much blade and the handle construction is aluminum. Wondering if perhaps I should have had them make the bolsters brass, but I'm not sure how much that would have made a difference anyway and besides, I like the way the aluminum looks.
Admittedly I designed this piece mostly on aesthetics, because I wanted something kinda unique and I just thought the idea of a hybrid lovechild of a balisong and a straight razor would be badass.
So anyway, it flips pretty decent, but isn't the first knife in my collection I turn to for doing all my tricks.
