Umm whut!



I was just trying to say that if you're dropping your knife everywhere it might be a good idea to wait until you're fairly decent with it so you don't damage it right away. I'm sure the AB can take a ridiculous amount of abuse but why get one when you're not good at flipping yet?

Or, if common sense is applied, someone with little skill could look after it AND learn to flip... at the same time!

GENIOUS!!!

Either way, I wouldn't have gotten one a year ago when I couldn hardly helix. Why spend that much money on something your not great at? A new driver wouldn't get a corvette. In any case, it was just my bit of advice. If he can justify buying an AB and feel comfortable getting it then by all means he should go for it. :TU:

So all I've ever driven is SUVs all my life, and I just bought a WS6 Trans Am! Just saying.......

Just started flipping? Hard to find decent Balis in the $30-$60 range? The Search Ends Here!

Don't hold out for a BM42! Take that $400+ you are planning on spending and go get in line for an Alpha Beast! You won't be disaponted!

Hands down a 42.
After that if my broke bank account could afford it, a tach 2.
If we are talking a simple EDC, probably a BM62

Same for me! Although those are both too expensive for my taste :(

The saddest thing is they used to be reasonably priced till they name dropped them in Kick-ass then the price skyrocketed.
