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!

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
@robertyin46684 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.

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.

Great Video - How come you don’t actually say the name of the Balisong ⁉️ I ended up finding it on Amazon. Great video for sure though , Very instructive 👍

It doesn't have any name brand! It's basically just a generic Chinese trainer that happens to be good! Also, link in the description!

i feel this was the best era of will hirsch, nowadays it seems like every 10 seconds brandon will do something thats suppose to be funny, and it can be hard to watch.. now obviously this is your channel you can upload what you want but it seems like everyone on youtube is trying way too hard to be funny, but this channel was more like professional informative type of content..

Hello! I was trying to make this knife, but I noticed I couldnt just slide away the g10. I think it was glued, because it would not budge. I really dont want the latch, but because of this glue, i cant take it off! if you are seeing this, please help
@skylerbusch87654 жыл бұрын
Yo!!! I had the same problem if you can get the edge of a knife in between the G10 and the rigid body of the knife you can pry it apart really easily, the little bit of glue scared me at first as well, but it gave way with just a small amount of pressure, just enough that you can't really do it with your fingernail.

I've had this knife for a little bit and just oiled it earlier today but when I went tighten the pivot screw a little bit I found that it doesn't tighten/loosen on the bite handle like it does on the safe handle.
