First

[@thebrandonbakerclone]

Hearing you make the Zelda "Chest Opening" sound effect to reveal the Pacific filled me with child-like glee

[@SkullFlipper15]

Hey Brandon do you know where i could send my kraken handles to get speed channeled

[@TedFlips]

@@SkullFlipper15 @gruffclaw on ig does it really well for cheap

[@Sn1p1ngTurtle]

exactly! nostalgia hits like a truck sometimes you know?

[@TheBuffnessFlips]

Excited to see your thoughts on the hydro. I just got mine and am loving it. It’s very unique though and I’m sure you will break it down really well.

[@TedFlips]

Thought the long strip of duct tape would give my packages away more than anything lol

[@DJEyelessPyro]

I will say, this is the first glidr product I actually WANT to try

[@BladeBias]

It would be hilarious if you like the first glidr product I kind of don't

[@DJEyelessPyro]

@@BladeBias that would be really funny

[@SlappytheNinja]

I got a purple/orange one when they first dropped and I love it. Been waiting for more people to make videos on it, super glad to see this one

[@y_noT42]

1:33 thats a hydro spacer :)

[@TedFlips]

Shhhhhhh 🤐

[@anthonyclemons7738]

I personally believe that Glidr should have provided PB washers. I put some in myself, and it really improves the sound quality and also has a smoother swing. I was surprised to find that when I took it apart, there was already ware on the DLC. I hadn't even flipped it all that much.

[@Alchemist_2119]

i got this in purple rain, yes very expensive for $300 AUD but so worth it since i cant get anything better where i live unless you can tell me otherwise

[@wolfgalaxy17]

Hey, I’m from Aus too. I was wondering what you think about it if you’ve used it yet, because I’m considering buying one but I’m worried about the grip as I see people complaining about it and people saying it’s amazing and also that it’s nearly $300 so I don’t want to regret buying it. All I have is a cheap nautilus clone I got from eBay and am looking to buy a pacific, Thanks in advance.

[@Fractur3_]

when you started yapping about IEM's I got so happy and when I saw you not only had a pair of blessings but a pair of timeless it made more happy because I personaly use and love the timeless

[@BladeBias]

I've made videos on my audio gear in the past in case you missed it

[@arthaneflips]

I own a blue and teal Antarctic and I really want a matching Pacific

[@EthanAdey]

I tried to clean my Artic V2 and 1 pivot screw goes in but pushes out the screw on the other side. 1 washer like 3x bigger than the other on Indy why. I put everything back exactly how it came out. And tried using 2 T10 bits on each side to stop it from moving when I screw it in

[@stevennscott]

Agreed with your assessment pretty much completely - I warned you it was SUPER grippy 😛 (I too think it is the grippiest balisong I've ever tried - completely the opposite of previous Glidr balis). In fact, I think it may be just a little TOO grippy, and that causes some drag, which MAY be what was causing you to feel some fatigue from it. 🤷‍♀

[@BladeBias]

I think the fatigue was from the weird momentum, but maybe

[@TheBalisongBear]

The pacific is absolutely wild im loving it. It's basically an alluminum serif trainer Amazing tolerances. Also, glidr Co and NRB made the Konig weight system in collaboration. NRB himself says that they have every right to use it

[@TheBuffnessFlips]

So you did get a pacific

[@TheBalisongBear]

@TheBuffnessFlips 2 actually... hehehe... ones for the patreon

[@CasonGray]

nice to see you flipping the slift trainer with zippy inserts, mine is so much fun to flip.

[@johnvedek3802]

Wicked Sic!!! Excellent breakdown!!!😀😀😀😀

[@jorjewhashingmachine6313]

cant wait for glidr to make a bali thats called the "atlantic"

[@0ViciousV0]

Hey man love the channel, dont let people get to you, you def dont suck at flipping, and we dont expect you to be banks of rome on every video💯 i will still make fun of your baby hands tho 😂

[@BladeBias]

Oh trust me the people of this hobby will never get to me. The baby hands comment though? That might

[@0ViciousV0]

@@BladeBias just poking fun like a good relatable peer lol😂🤓

[@KC-nr3ou]

I freaking love my pacific. I had no idea people were down on it. I’m shocked. Mine is awesome and top 5 of all my balis

[@BladeBias]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@SkullFlipper15]

How does this video already have 130 veiws. Your really going places man

[@ysuflowers]

I've got a fire and ice pacific. It's definitely top much grip and abrasive.

[@sp1ke25]

arctic on top

[@chucklesdeclown8819]

hey, I'm back, what'd I miss?(I'm half joking, I've been semi keeping up w/ balis while I was gone just haven't communicated much) so this sounds like my wheel house since I'm usually the complainer when it comes to pricing. I don't think 6061 can go above 200 and I don't think 7075 can go above 300(much). 170 even for 6061 which is still a great metal is still a pretty good price. yes I wish it was cheaper but at least it wasn't fry knife 2.0 which I still argue was a way worse situation considering what flyti did during it and honestly I consider not only glidr's finishes one of the best in the biz but their tolerances as well. my arctic beta that still runs on washers still has no tap, and no(?) play if I recall. even doing a handle swap on the Antarctic had really good tolerances. honestly, i get the ire from the community. its not like glidr sells the most amazing flipping experiences on the planet large majority of the time and ill introduce this point to the discussion: they kind of have the aussie market in a stranglehold which doesn't give them much incentive to improve so the fact they are even trying at all is pretty surprising(i say that mostly because of aussies strong anti balisong laws and crackdown on those, the fact that squid pulled out from shipping to there a few years back and the fact that other then glidr there haven't been other aussie competitors to compete for the crown there unless I missed any recent huge announcements during my absence)

[@BladeBias]

Welcome back!

[@ClownBabyG-Zus]

there should be lighter weights for the handles, it comes with 2 sets one light one heavy. but it might have the same issue as the FLS liminal where even the lightest weight was a little too much for my preference. all in all i want a glidr Pacific in the blue moon color, it looks awesome.

[@BladeBias]

Completely agree

[@picklemuch]

broooooooooooo "i wonder what that could be"

[@user-su9zi3lb7x]

Awesome video! Did anybody else catch the bottle opener on the blade?

[@BladeBias]

I don't think there is one

[@cabbageman606]

we need chez it box lore

[@BladeBias]

So I had a box of chez its right, and then, get this, I ate them all. But then I decided to put the box in the garbage.

[@cabbageman606]

@@BladeBias no way you ated them all?

[@BladeBias]

All o' dem

[@handlebarhammer]

Out of stock... Just ordered an Antarctic off eBay, probably just flipped once.

[@Balisong_Vo]

8m actually going to squirm if he says grip one more time

cool

[@gellous3718]

Balisong recommendations? Where's the IEM recommendations?

[@BladeBias]

Nowhere, I'm not nearly experienced enough in IEMs to give recommendations

[@heathzorweg6845]

Hey man, would you say it’s the best Glidr yet ? Thanks

[@SkullFlipper15]

Ethan do you know how to do the reverse z-choker

[@BladeBias]

Yez

[@jvnecat]

how do u like the blessings? aside from the balance issue ofc

[@BladeBias]

Love em, especially after a little bass tweak with my qudelix. This imbalance is making me consider the new Moondrop Dusk though

[@jvnecat]

@@BladeBias oo nice! have you used any nice headphones before? iems have always been interesting to me but i've had a hard time wearing my moondrops chus for longer sessions at my pc for gaming n such,,

[@BladeBias]

I've used some of the sennheiser lineup, I think the 6xxs? But it's been a while and I don't remember exactly how they sounded and a similar story for a couple other nicer headphones I tried while I was in Atlanta for blade show. My daily driver headphones are the Meze 99 Noirs though

[@jvnecat]

@@BladeBias gotchaa, those are beautiful :o okay sorry last question: how much of a difference do you think a high quality amp actually makes? i've been putting off buying one for a while

[@BladeBias]

Depends on a lot of factors, especially how much power your headphones draw but I have never sat down and used a nice Amp of any sort

[@daddy-rito]

balde bias

[@ysuflowers]

Ethan, I think there's no way you can like the abrasiveness of those handles!! If you don't like the Nakari, how can you like the Pacific?? Could it be that your impartial to Glidr Co??

[@BladeBias]

Bro... were you paying attention when I addressed this exact point? It's *aluminum*. It needs this grip. Titanium doesn't.

[@ysuflowers]

Ethan, as sensitive as your hands are, I give it about 3 days and your hands are going to be crying for mercy from that thing. Remember, I've got a fire and ice Pacific !

[@BladeBias]

Wrong! But okay! 👍
