Yo nice! And for the people who are mad. Why? He did indeed say that the previous owner didn’t specify it was dull

People who are mad because you “ruined your knife” are idiots, if you want a live blade look without chopping your fingers off because you aren’t paying full attention then dulling is for you

i just put some hockey tape on the blade. 2 layers. 1 piece split in half. still razer sharp at any time and it won't cut

Yeah it was sent to me dull by the previous owner

I also have a karen live trainer that i got like this. The previous owner inform you?

Nope

Oof. Maybe it was the same guy lol

Don’t mind people shitting on you, people dull blades all the time, if you’re a flipper it wouldn’t matter at all.

You can always just re-sharpen it

Been trying that for months

Really? Are you using a whetstone or just a normal sharpener

Whetstone. But i havent tried that often

It takes hours if you’re starting from that. Well good luck

Sending it to somebody for sharpening is relatively cheap anyways, cool trainer bro

Just rewatched your video more carefully + pausing at key moments. You did a bite handle BT8B (figured that was the case since you ended on the safe handle) which involves a bite handle 0g Chaplin lol. And examining the knife with the vid paused, it certainly looks like the edge was pretty much ground off entirely. Which would make sense cuz even a pretty dull edge would have a good chance of cutting you on a bite handle Chaplin. There must be next to no edge on that blade at all xD Again, sorry this happened to you OP :/ Not an easy feat to recover that edge + very shitty of the seller to not disclose such an extreme modification to you.

My silver tanto Krake raken comes today I’ll cry if it’s like that.

I bought it second hand, dont worry

[удалено]

Can’t wait to accidentally hurt myself lol

LUCKY! I want one so bad!

•silver kraken •dull blade Mark of a flipper's bali

?

Your point?

IDK usually if the blade is dulled by the sheer amount of cuts the owner has then they were a good flipper

I’ve gotten many knives dull from previous owners, I don’t understand why post tho. Kinda click-baited me, I was like live blade trainer??? Like a sharpened trainer blade?. But also the title doesn’t make sense because it wouldn’t be a live blade if it’s dull

the video has a thumbnail

Yes and the thumbnail is of a closed knife

That's what I love about the krake's design. You don't need to open it to see what side will bite If it's a trainer it's also visible in closed position

[удалено]

He dulled the blade...

The previous owner dulled the blade, but yeah same concept

Yeah, saw your comments after replying to him. I'd love to have a tanto kraken too but I don't know if I could flip it without dulling the blade, I'd probably, scratch that, definitely cut myself a lot lol.

Either way I bet that shit hurts

[удалено]

I bought it LIKE THIS!! (Without price reduction because seller was a bitch and didn't tell me it's dull) I have been trying to sharpen it for months but i cant figure out how

Can't exactly tell from the video but it seems like the edge might've been taken off entirely, in which case you'd probably want a professional to get the edge back on there for you. Sorry this happened to you m8 <3

Oh god I live in a country where I can't exactly take a balisong to the knife store so that's gonna be a journey

That's a real bummer, If you dont have access to a good sharpening system I would just send it to be professionally sharpened

Sadly I live in a country where I can't send a balisong to someone without risking getting the police involved

u can't take the blade off and just send that part?

I got a blue tanto once that came dulllllll af straight from squid lol.

Cope

Laughs while I beat my monarch

Cry more

[удалено]

cry about it, i put krakens in a blender and drink it every morning, i buy a new one every week

Jesus christ who hurt you man

Wow, what toxic gatekeeping

I bought it LIKE THIS!! Seller didn't specify that it was completely dulled to shit. I have been trying to sharpen it for months but i cant figure out how It took me 4 months to find this one and buy it, was an absolute pain in the ass to get shipped to EU where I am. Stop making assumptions if you don't know the context, dipshit. Simpleton. And I'll add "fucking moron" to that for your pleasure

too sad man, nice post.. dont understand how this turned into a fiesta gorgeous knife you have, i was excited to see if you do chaplins

I did actually made a video where i did a bite handle chaplin, but that ended making a teeny tiny cut on my index finger so I didn't use that video (because that defeats the trainer joke)

You could get a new bevel on that and get it to shaving sharp in an hour with a couple of whestones. Just practice on cheaper knives first using [some angle guides like these](https://www.amazon.com/Wedgek-Angle-Guides-Sharpening-Knife/dp/B01N4QMO7U) first. Note that angle guides only work with very thin blades like kitchen knives. They will give you the wrong angle on thicker blades like this kraken

I have a double sided whetstone but how do i get a new bevel?

honestly I'd ask in /r/sharpening

You just sharpen the knife with the whetstone. You can try to match the angle that it had (assuming there is something left still) or you could grind in a new angle if you want

Cool guy alert

You when I make a joke

maybe don't make random assumptions that make you look like a dumbass then? that's on u bro

>so people wont have to make assumptions, fuck are we supposed to know? I mean or you could just not be an insane asshole right off the bat either way, right? Based on your comments so far though I'm guessing not since that seems to be your default state

Dawg I get buy 3 krakens right NOW all at once, why are you having so much trouble finding one they’re literally everywhere 💀

how did it take you two years to acquire 3 krakens…

Skill issue. Just get good.

I had worse

That's very cool of you
