Blemished base model Kraken x 10% discount + shipping is about $185. Pretty good deal if you ask me. There aren’t any blemished base models in stock right now but there were not too long ago IIRC
the problem for most people isnt about it being handle biased, its because of weight distribution making it fan bad becasue there is not much tip weight. its usually better for newer flippers because they do more rollovers while not knowing too complicated fans. i think you overstated the point where people say its complete garbage, the majority of people dont think that way they just think it fans bad. people tend to get hourglass blades if they really hate the balance.
Tanto or bowie as you see the live blades sell out either way. Plus I've had both bowie and tanto sry but it's very small difference and I actually prefer the bowie overtime haha. We have a whole bunch of badnwagoning with these balisongs it's sad because peoppe say they like things they actually don't just to be apart of the crowd. Yet things they like they feel they can't admit to. It's kind of sad to see every single hobbie be this way. It doesn't matter what they do with the trainer peoppe just assume things that aren't true. See the older trainers didn't have bushing etc. So people still assume the trainers aren't as good which isn't true with the krake raken. See they have similiar parts now so it just makes no sense. The jrake raken shouldn't be hated on the way it is. This isn't squid from 3 or 4 years ago. Peoppe are stuck that's all.
Guessing you got one but I got a $8 knife from amazon as I lost my expensive one and needed a temp for the meantime and it's actually a really good substitute👍

I’ve had vulps, and Marcolos, and prysma, and an opus. When I got a kraken trainer v2. It was amazing compared to the cheap Valis but definitely competed with the prsyma. I was very impressed with krake raken
costs $30 to make in china they sell for over $200 haha yeeeahhhhh you know full built american guns with full metal cost only $100-200 more then that... retail pricing for these balisong companies hella overcharge for their products haha but thats because they can make the prices and people will buy what they want, but smart business will be reasonable and grow their customers

Also because of the price for this knife
:)
I'm super new to flipping and have slammed my kraken trainer many times every day for about 3 months and the tune is still perfect.
They really need to make a tanto trainer blade for the trainer maybe tht would help?

Where do I buy a live blade kraken
Follow squids instagram page for announcements
Got my blem Kraken for $180 and love it, curious if you could try the Zippy balance insert and compare it
Probably won't in the near future but you never know
Just got my kraken trainer yesterday and it flips really good
Glad you enjoy it!
i havent used either but just because its not as good it doesnt mean its bad
Sheeeesh I read the title as “overrated “ instead of “overhated “
nice vid 👌
honestly dude your so right I love the kraken trainer idk why
I like flippin the kraken enough that i recently ordered an hourglass trainer blade so the trainer can flip like the live
If im starting out shoukd i go with something expensive like a krake trainer or something under 20$ off amazon?
How about something in the middle, like 60 or 70 dollars

I think what happened with the konig is they are similarly priced and most people want to get the very best they can for they’re money.
The Konig is 50-70 dollars less than the Kraken, so I don't think so
@@camaroEE maybe. Im stupid an thought it was less drastic
The trainer is cool but the live blade is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Wish I could get a live blade :(
that’s some crunchy grass 👁👄👁

You do realize that these companies are fully making their products in America right?
Plus gun companies have way bigger factories and can make way more product, so of course it'll be less expensive.
