What do we think of Machinewise's decision to discontinue Slift's and Prysmas?
I think its a horrible decision. The prysma was one of the best and most affordable balisongs on the market, and their discontinuation is gonna have people ego pricing because of their "rarity".

Vintage Jaguar Butterfly Knives
Hey folks, stumbled upon a post about old Jaguar butterfly knives and it brought back memories of mine. I looked and I can't seem to find any vintage Jaguars for sale. They used to be all the rage back in the day. I remember saving for weeks just to get my hands on that sleek black Jaguar from the mall. Mom's voice still echoes in my head, warning me not to waste $120 on a "silly knife." As you can see from the pictures... I didn't listen.
A couple weeks later mom and I were at garage sale where lo and behold, there was a silver Jaguar and a green rostfrei waiting for me. $25 for the pair—a bargain, right!?! That day taught me a couple lessons: first and foremost, always listen to your mother! Followed by don't waste $ on something new when you can find equally good stuff used. In fact, it appears the silver Jaguar held up better over the past 25 years. Though I have to admit, my drilling out the lock and pin on the black Jaguar wasn't the smartest move looking back...
Fun fact: I was today year's old when I learned "rostfrei" means stainless steel, & isnt a brand name lmfao
Anyone know the value of an early 90's Jaguar balisong or why I can't find any for sale?? Where did they all go?

14th day of flipping. Just learned Behind The 8 Ball and Jacob’s Ladder so I put them in a combo. I feel like I’m picking tricks up pretty quick but still a little sloppy, but I’m trying to get better to be more smooth👍🏻👍🏻

NKD Telesto!
Flips pretty well, fans amazingly, sounds great. Unfortunately I won't be keeping it. Just can't justify the money for it tbh. I love it but it's too much.
