Yo, the designer here. Glad you are enjoying it. (Yeah i kinda have to work on the insta handle lol) The package for the production version is due to arrive today for me lmao. So I'm using this as a preview.
Give yourself a pat on the back m8, and congratulations for getting 3rd place in the CWN contest! You have designed an exceptionally exquisite flipper here my man. I must say, this has to have one of the coolest trainer hollowing patterns that I've seen yet as you tried to incorporate a faux japanese Midare Hamon style pattern in the trainer blade that makes the "Swedge," mimick the look of some sort of bowie katana. It's a real shame that Nabalis is only making a limited amount of these, because I think this would be an absolute killer starter point for any new flipper. I also appreciate the handles themselves being a bit plain as I appreciate a no frills design that's focused on performance. I hope you make some more awesome designs in the future. My Reverie is in the mail as we speak, and can't wait to flip it, lol.
Let's go, we got a mention! 😅The actual name of the designer is Neil Cantillana, as far as I'm aware. It says it on the Nabalis website. I was the first person to post a clip with this balisong on Instagram, which is pretty epic, I must say. Happy New Years everyone, stay tuned for my video on the Reverie! 💪
Dang! We are 5 days into the new year and something already came out that is getting more praise than the Orion, and that won multiple awards in the Bali Awards 2024 😮
@Sarah-gx2ql I ordered on release and it sat this whole time. Gotta have patience with these over seas orders but ugh it’s so taxing to wait for it to just move. lol
@@TheBuffnessFlips I put it down to being somewhat handle bias as it lets you down when you want to fan and palm fan especially. The Reverie is good time and was stoked to see your review.
@@mightylion4704 if it is to handle bies to you then try remove some weights on the spacer, it does have a weight stytims and it might come with 1 or 2 weight in stock
I have been trying to work out how that knife moves around your middle fingers at 0:43 seconds in and for some unknown reason cannot fathom what youre doing? is this a known move or is it something youve just thrown together? i even mirrored the video so i could have a look at it right handed but no joy :( sheer frustration. ill watch the rest of your video once Ive finished crying. lol
As a first trainer, would you recommend this over something like the Orion, Cheese/Teflon Vulp or Canyon? Orion would be about 30€ more expensive, Canyon about 15€ cheaper, rest about the same
Question, do you know if the CWN balis are limited time only? When they were announced I assumed they’d only make a limited number of them but I haven’t seen any number limit or end date, and their pages say “Only the first 200 come with serial numbers”, so now I’m unsure 😅
I messaged them on their website and they said that right now, they only plan to make 200 of each (I'm assuming 200 of each color of each design). They didn't guarantee on making more though. That's why I had to order a B of P fast
Hopefully next time the do it (if they ever do one again) they won't just pick ones from people with CAD software or stuff like it. That or just stipulate that its a requirement. Decent amount of hand drawn entries that just got passes over which is kinda fucked.

Is your full first name Mack? Because I might have the same nickname 🤪
@Just_Impressing It's not my official first name, It's a name I go by in any country outside of Poland 😊
@polishbaliflipz__ oh lol, I saw it was spelled the same as in my name so it caught my eye because it’s not very common.
Let’s go! New buffness video
Will you get one of the cwn knifes to mạke vids on?
I remember voting for this one through all the rounds, I got mine a couple days ago. I absolutely love it! and #32 to boot! great video!
I can’t believe it sounds this good
Probably getting one soon. Many ppl are saying that is kinda the same level as an orion, im intrigated! Nice vid buffness❤
Great vid! Thanks for giving us reviews and more info on the CWN balis! Much appreciated
Dang! We are 5 days into the new year and something already came out that is getting more praise than the Orion, and that won multiple awards in the Bali Awards 2024 😮
Yep. Good start.
just ordered it hopefully I get a production number one
I was told bird of prey was a preorder and would ship within 3 weeks of release. Mine just shipped on Wednesday
Thanks for the info.
Your Bird of Prey shipped already? I ordered one and it still hasn't shipped

@@obivaughn11 Oh okay yeah, I think they're still in production actually based on their Instagram
Oooooh I actually voted for this one! I’m glad that it actually flips good! I’m sure I’ll be getting one soon
I'm so excited to be getting mine!
Kinda reminds me of a mix between the hydra and orion. Sick.
Overlord is just awesome :D
i got the #51 :D
I got #29 I love it
I got one last week - they are awesome! I got the CWN Overlord as well but its nowhere near as good
Oh interesting.

Mine is on the way as we speak, lol. Out of the three winners of the CWN contest, this one was my favorite.
Love this man keep up the great work
for under $100 that unboxing experience is insane
It looks sort of like a kraken😁😁😁but different! awesome!
this might be a very pivotal balisong for Nabalis im ngl
Canyon always seemed a bit off 2 me but this & Cheese look very decent

If you dm me on instagram or discord, I can show you how to do it. It’s quite simple.
@@TheBuffnessFlips thanks. ill message you :)
Nice vid. Are you going to be getting the Sirius trainer
Only if I get sent one. I already have two live blade ones.
Ok
Replace the teflon blade with the normal one and it feels better and sounds better to flip (for the vulp)
Interesting
@TheBuffnessFlips it's a personal preference, but in my opinion, it's pretty good, You should try it.
As a first trainer, would you recommend this over something like the Orion, Cheese/Teflon Vulp or Canyon? Orion would be about 30€ more expensive, Canyon about 15€ cheaper, rest about the same
I think the Orion is objectively better. When it comes to Nabalis stuff though, all of them are great so pick whatever you want.
@TheBuffnessFlips alr cool, think I'll just go for the Orion then, clisong got a 10% code going on rn so might as well make use of it, tyvm
sounds cool
Question, do you know if the CWN balis are limited time only? When they were announced I assumed they’d only make a limited number of them but I haven’t seen any number limit or end date, and their pages say “Only the first 200 come with serial numbers”, so now I’m unsure 😅
First 200 serialized, and then maybe more unserialized ones. I’m sure they will leave eventually though.
I messaged them on their website and they said that right now, they only plan to make 200 of each (I'm assuming 200 of each color of each design). They didn't guarantee on making more though. That's why I had to order a B of P fast
Forgetting about the price and specs, I will say the one balisong this reminds me of is the kraken 😬, what are your thoughts after flipping it?
A kraken is obviously better. However, they are drastically different.
Hopefully next time the do it (if they ever do one again) they won't just pick ones from people with CAD software or stuff like it. That or just stipulate that its a requirement. Decent amount of hand drawn entries that just got passes over which is kinda fucked.
How long does it take to ship?
A weekish
How's the grip?
Over time, I have noticed the lack of grip. It’s still not horrible though. I’ve felt less grippy Balis for sure.
I have a feeling I know what assets you’re talking about 🧐
Yessir.
What was it like getting sponsored by a company?
Pretty sweet
@ cool I just found out about you being sponsored congratulations
suddenly 70 bucks just left my account
Orion killer perhaps
Could be close
Is that a false blade
Yes. Not the type that can be sharpened, just a plain trainer.
@TheBuffnessFlips oh okay. Looks really cool though
