Spectacular review. Extremely well-done and creative intro. A very worthy 18th post on JD. More power to you!

well done.

I think its important to shed some light on the basilisk project, you see a designer like jerry step out on a limb and create this, get it made for the community with bushings and all the fit and feel of a custom flipper for 300 bucks.. Its a contribution to flipping, and he deserves many accolades for having the vision and drive to do it...

I hope we see other balisongs designed by Jerry in the future.

I've been lusting after basilisks for a while now. They are probably the best deal going in custom balis. The fact that you can get one of these for LESS than a BM 4x should speak volumes as to the whacked out state of bali-economics atm.

Outstanding review. And the production values on your video are very professional. Great job.

Great review ! Artsy too.. Love the profile on the blade of that Bali :semper:

Question where did you get that little case from with the egg crate inners ? Nice storage case would like to pick one up to hold my Bali's .

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

That's actually the case that holds my condensor mic. But you can
get similar cases at Walmart/Target or even dollar type stores. They
are more meant for CDs and other things, but they work just as well.
You'd probably just have to buy some egg crate foam and cut it to
shape. I was thinking bout doing this to make a bali case cause I like
the look.

true and from an amazingly nice guy.. Jerry is the shit... I sent him an email to tell him I was sad to see that dalton wasnt going to make good for him going forward and that I liked the knife and thought it was a great contribution to the landscape of balisongs out there for ppl to choose from...

and he sent me back an email and was very gracious and thanked me for reaching out to him and thanked me for the feedback on his balisong.

hes a great designer and I hope he gets another outlet to produce some of the other designs hes been working on.

Yeah, he announced it a couple months ago that he can't continue making them
until he finds another manufacturer willing to take on the project.

That is one of the best bali review videos I've ever seen. Very creative intro and nice editing + a great review.

I'd love to get my hands on of those puppies. I hope Jerry is able to resurrect that beast at some point. :demented:

Congrats on your soon to be new family addition! I love babysitting my friends little one. She is so sweet and loves to be rocked in a rocking chair. I used to like it too I was told when I was just a little brat but my brother was rocking the chair with his knee while he was watching a movie and he hit it a little too hard and I went airborne. Typical abuse by an older sibling, its no wonder I used to steal his cigs all the time. lol :devil1:

wont be easy to find one... I would say contact Jerry directly and ask if he got the last bit of parts from those fools over at dalton... if so perhaps he can put one together for you...

also I agree a series of consecutive blowjobs is ALWAYS needed.
