The inventor and original owner of the company didn't get it either, AFAIK. He resisted a lot of things that makes aeropress more expensive just for the sake of it. Well he had to cash out sooner or later and this became of it.
Now I might be talking out of my ass, based on half unremembered internet tales.
But here's my own opinion on this: premium aeropress is just for people to showboat they have money.
I would instead pay for big aeropress though. Makes it easier to share coffee.
Oh so that's why my car has a litany of weird sounds
~~Ignore the fact that I procrastinate servicing~~
As a kson fan, I'm jealous he keeps drawing fubuki lol. At the same time I'm happy for him getting to work with his kamioshi
That site is such an eye opener. I still haven't managed to get to the end every time I visit the site
Such incomprehensible wealth
And for what? To fuck everyone
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish, MAL.
Oh, if Benchmade made this it'd be $600, for sure. Just look at the chuzpah they have for what they charge for the Necron if you need an example, and that doesn't even have a latch.
heh, figures. can trust in the butterfly to overcharge their wares
I have no idea what the universal fascination is with states and countries trying to ban ~~balisong~~ knives
tell me about it. my country even consider the classic sd as an offense. silly circus over here. there's some wording about "unless with proper reasoning" but good luck arguing with an LEO.
still though, I'm fascinated by balisongs. I should try and get any one somehow and just play in my home.
sweet, glad to know it generally works with linux. this is available in my part of the world. been shopping around for a personal for-work laptop since my company is stingy. And I plan to move on anyways.
As a weird knife lover, thank you for covering this knife.
It is absolutely amazing yo see spyderco taking on this intricately and over engineered Janich design and put it to market. I love spyderco for that, despite them running sprint tuns of the same knives with different ingredients over and over. I guess that does fund for fun stuff like this
I've stared at your deploying gif for minutes and it still doesn't make sense to me. Probably would make more sense if I ever had a balisong to compare I assume.
I assume them going with washers for the pivot is an attempt to discourage and prolong the need to take the knife apart should it get too gunked up. Having free ball bearing is just such a spyderco move. looks at smock additional free bearing secondary lock
Would love to get this in my country but it being a balisong, and kind of gravity knife would make it ultra illegal lol
If I ever can get one this probably would be a safe queen or home cardboard muncher
I have to wonder though what would the price be if this is made in their Colorado plant. Just musing because the other USA insect brand would've charge double this for less intricate knife.
I think a dial of some sort needs more push. I like how Olight kind of restarted /popularize that trend with their flat flashlight. I know that years ago before jetbeam has a few but it didn't stick. But dial / rotary interface still isn't as prolific as I would like
At least I think it's more intuitive than having to remember fighting moves combos with just 1 button
Oooh I should try that
