Well there you have it my friends. It's an improvement, but I don't think I like this one either...The blade still sucks and the gold just isn't my style. Doesn't look like anythings changed other than the handles and the color. Disappointing IMO.

One of the key differences between any balisong is the handles. In fact, half of a balisong is made up of the handles...However, I do tend to agree with you, but for different reasons. The actual only difference is the skeletonization of the handles, from what I can tell they look like the same shape. However, if they are longer that would be an improvement. I will agree I am a little disappointed and also wanted to see more of an ascetic difference in the new knife. But until I see some reviews, or until I get one in my hands, I wont pass judgment.

Re: Kimura 5

I think i like the K2 better than this.. hope they don't end the KII-IV series when they introduce the V-VII series.

I wouldve like to see a spring latch or pocket clip or something on the new series instead of just new handles. Or maybe bushings or something.

When BladeHQ originally put pictures up, the finish was a gold one.

Re: Kimura 5

i preordered one of theses babies, i never owned a kimura before, and i decided to get the 5, it simply caught my attention, this beauty flips so smooth, this blade is sharp as fuck ! Im doing my usual exercises and BAM got a nice cut without me noticing it until i stopped flipping and see the blood on like 3 of my fingers, then comes the part when i figure out which finger is it -_-, but in my opinion this balisong is a great flipper for the price i got it and im happy with it 8-)
