She's looking better every time I see her! :thumbup:

I am carrying this Joe Allen EO. I sold it a while back and had been kicking myself ever since. The fellow member I sold it to graciously offered to sell it back to me. I could not be happier. :D:D:D

Thanks, Erik! It means a lot coming from you. I find myself leaving my modern folders at home a few days a week now. I'm enjoying using this Jack so much.

And your EO looks great! I really like the blade shape on that one.

This forum is full of awesome and generous people. Of course, you already knew that :D

Lets play NAME THAT LATCH !!

Can you place the latch with the knife?

I know there's alpha beast, BM 32, and replicant latches in there, and I would guess that the last is from a Tacheon, but I'm not sure I'm right.
Oh well, my best shot ;)

Also, MAIL CALL!



Love this knife so far. Only slight imperfection in the design is that the lockbar is extremely narrow, and has a little too much spring in the horizontal direction, so the strong detent will make it wobble a little when deploying, almost like there is play in the detent itself, though there isn't.
Not a hug issue, and the knife still functions perfectly form what I've seen.

Great action, very sharp, good ergos, lightweight for its size, and great steel!
Will need a little cleaning to really shine though ;)
Titanium doesn't travel well in the cold, but cleans up nicely :D
 
Charr, you got a couple right, but you know my collection! And a tachyon is in there, but not at the end.
A 32?? How could you say that! Blasphemy !


Alex, oh ok. Lol yeah that was interesting editing :)

Sorry sorry, not a 32, a 52. I got my number mixed up.
I don't have them in order because I didn't even think about that.
Here, let me look again and I'll get it.

EDIT: 52, Alpha Beast, Tachyon, and Replicant?
And I really didn't even judge that much based on your collection, the Alpha Beast latch looks a lot like the Replicant, and I remember that the 52 has a srping latch with a round head, while the Tachyon had a round head, but not a spring latch ;)

EDIT AGAIN: Oh and that one in front I think is a 42 Latch :D

Yeah I'm not so good with the numbered balisongs for some reason. I guess the 51 just never caught my attention as much as some of the other ones, at least not the regular one. I know the name Flytanium very well thanks to you though :D

I wasn't sure about the front one that's for sure. It just didn't seem to fit, so I just gave it my best guess.
Latches are one of the weird things I pay attention to a lot in balis. It can make or break them for me sometimes, but generally the rest of the knife takes president by far ;)
The 29 knives Balis have a latch that bothers me, I will say that. The whole knife is so carefully and gracefully made, and then that latch feels just...clunky...might just be me though.

Also, this Diskin is SHARP! Like scary sharp, and you can tell that it's a hand-done edge too. The bevels aren't perfectly even, but man this thing will take hair off just by looking at it!

Very nice!

I really wanted to get a 95 with Carbon Fiber inserts, but I also really really like my 95T, and the money just wouldn't appear in my paypal no matter how much I tried to make it, so it never happened ;) :o

Oh well, it looks awesome, and it's good to hear other people who carry Shirogorovs!
