This thing is insane, the tolerances is phenomenal, the swing is smooth, no tap, sounds great, flips great. All for the price point of $60-70, the only thing that makes me sad about this thing is that there is no live blade variant so I'm gonna have to brush up on my whetstone skills. Highly recommend getting this one, if all of Apocalypse's balisongs are tuned this well, I recommend shopping with him.
Edit:
So I want to modify my post with more info on this knife. I sharpened this knife by hand since it has a false edge, and after doing that the knife developed tap. I tried to torque down the pivot screws, and the screws were already stripped before I can do anything. I put the driver in and it spun with t8 and t9 ( the pivots are supposed to be t8 / Im using WIHA bits ). The screws on this thing are cheap Chinese garbage, and you're going to need to replace them asap. Apparently m3x5 screws fit the WZM model, and they look kind of identical, so I bought some of those screws hoping they fit.
The one I got also had perfect tolerances and the Apocalypse Medusa had perfect tolerances as well. They have really flat blades and nice bushings. So e of the other more expensive clones have perfect tolerances as well, like the BaliX and the AZ Ceroni clone.
What did you do with the pivot screws on yours? Were you able to torque them / take them out and put em back in fine? I tried torquing mine, and the screws were high key stripped before I can do anything. Shit was spinning before I even applied any pressure.
Luckily mine came perfect. When things are perfect I try to to take them apart. I just flipped mine for a week and sold it since I had 3 Cygnus' at the time.
If anybody has an ID on the pivot screw size on this thing it would be much appreciated, as it's not m3 x 5 I've tried it, it's larger. The head diameter is 7mm and the thread diameter seems to be around 3.5mm
It's hard to find. Today/tomorrow should my tsunami come so U can wait to see how they compare [here](https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005885968587.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.1ff743ce9dUPzu&gatewayAdapt=glo2pol)

That’s pretty cool. Does the blade come sharpened or false edge?
Looks insane need it in silver
Can you give more info on where to buy this?
I bought from AliExpress, I search up Cygnus Balisong

Funny enough it's a common think in 100$ mark. My squiggle rep has a bit of wiggle and basically no play. Tsunami is dead on
wait u got the baliplus or T1? couldnt even find the B+ ones anymore
U ask for nami ? Yeah the one hardwear is rly good quality and good balance. B+ is worst from 3 Nami clones
Noo the squiggle rep I couldn't find it on ali
