With the money earned from Patreon, I am currently buying a better setup, camera, lights, and BEST of all... more giveaway knives! If you subscribe to a tier, you are helping the channel while also getting benefits yourself! Tier 3 and 4 are PRIVATE LESSONS with me now! It will help you improve quickly and is a good way to really get into the hobby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I made this knife for you to have the ability to fall in love with a knife that you can use as a trainer for as long as you would like. When
you become more advanced, the blade can be sharpened for a more realistic knife flipping experience instead of buying another knife. The knife is cost effective, while still using high quality materials such as the nicer 440c steel in the blade. I’m looking forward to hearing your opinion and hopefully The Wave can lead you down an awesome balisong journey like it did for me:)
I have worked several months on this project in collaboration with Nabalis, ever since May. My dream of selling my own original knife design is finally coming true. Thanks to all of you who made it possible!

The replicant is my fav knife in my collection, it has a bit of tap because I have used it for 6 years all the time! So I’m definitely not trying to say anything bad about it :)

clever using your own product as an example of a knife with no play or tap 😂😂👍

[@ArtSeaFlips]

Yea honestly thats the only one I had in my collection without any play or tap

[@3dChris]

It sounds like you’re implying that she’s trying to sell her brand by using it as an example of a quality build. A) That’s what you’re supposed to do when you build a quality product. B) This video did not come across like a sales pitch at all. C) Keep in mind that she said the first knife is her favorite. Forgive me if I’m wrong but your use of “clever” implies you suspected some kind of self serving intent. I didn’t get that vibe at all.

[@TheBalisongBear]

@3dChris my friend, you have read way into what I said when the substance of what I was trying to say was literally skin deep. I said what I meant, and I meant what I said 😂. I just thought it was funny.

[@ArmijoLee]

Thank you I will have to buy one

[@krisdabaliguy6850]

Tap and play does not mean cheap. Some older flippers prefer more play because it can actually facilitate manipulation of the balisong better in some cases. I love my 42 and it has a good bit of play and tap. Still a god video though, it would have only said differently when there is so much tap the handles completely pass each other horizontally, your knife is probably too lose. Many good balisongs also just get loose and need a tighten on occasion Keep up the good work!

[@ArtSeaFlips]

Good explanation… I would have said more about it but the video could only be a minute long😆 I had to cut a lot out

[@KAPPOMIUS]

​@@ArtSeaFlips😂😂😂😂

[@l.no.solace7209]

Tap just scratches the blade, play can wear on your washers but you WANT handle play if youre flipping fast

[@krisdabaliguy6850]

@@l.no.solace7209 I still see 42s from the early 2000s flipping just fine. And any enthusiasts swaps their washers out when they wear out and for a 42 switch to phosphorus bronze. You’re technically not wrong but it really doesn’t matter that much

[@briankirsch6161]

Since the wave is channel construction, and more room is cut out in the channels the farther down the blade, it makes for less tap. Sandwich balisongs can be tuned to a T and still have tap, but it’s not bad, won’t affect flipping, and isnt an issue if there’s no blade rub. Reps will have tap since there’s barely any space for the blade to move, and tap can be worked out through a couple of odd tricks, for example, dropping it. Lol. Either way, both the wave and rep keep their tune very well, as mine has proven to hold up very well with little maintenance, and reps are reps. Very well proven to be great.

[@animal1413]

It's crazy you never even thought you'd be some hot knife flipping badass, yet here you are explaining the intricacies. Lol so cool.

Lol I had that same Amazon knife in highschool. I knew it was cheap but I still had fun with it.

[@kenthammer123]

Good info.

[@bubblebaath7840]

I’m waiting on loctite to come in the mail but what I’ve noticed is as my pivot screws loosen and I start getting more tap and play, roll overs, chaplains and aerials get a fair bit harder coz the knife doesn’t wanna stay balanced You just said it doesnt really effect flipping much and I wanted to add my 2 cents It’d obviously depend on the knife tho, mines already handle biased so if the handles are moving around it’d have more of an effect on the centre of gravity than it would in a pivot-balanced bali

[@Jeff-pn5mf]

I just got the Amazon knife and it’s pretty good🎉

[@jorkazmorka2237]

so with the cheapest is more do better trik or not ???

[@cappuchino_creations]

I believe, worse play because the Tap and Play might influence the swinging unpredictably. It makes it harder to execute, would be my guess

[@RGB-RGB1]
