Got my swing guard from Jeff today. Let me just say, as someone who had a whole collection of knives, including genuine italian stillettos, this knife is the best I've ever handled. Absolutely ZERO play in the guards...none. Awesome. That's just the start. Blade finish is superior to the $150+ swings I've owned. Tolerances are tight and deployment is a joy.

Guys, seriously, don't get hung up on region of origin. (Yes I'm talking to you, reddit posters). These days it's not important. This blade is modestly priced for what you're getting. Which is ALOT!

As usual, Jeff goes above and beyond to make sure you're getting quality service and products. He'll even call you to tell you he can save you money on shipping!! Can't say that for other "higher end" brands who rely on name only for satisfaction.

Thanks Jeff! My first blade, but certainly not my last from you.

When it arrives I will update YOU guys.

Don’t hesitate to buy from S2G. My experience has always been fantastic, with excellent communication, shipping, tuning, and customer service. Recently, there was a minor issue with one of the handles due to the notorious Chinese loctite. Jeff from S2G informed me it would take an extra day to fix, which I didn’t mind at all. I prefer things done right rather than rushed.

Here’s an email from Jeff explaining a recent issue he resolved with me.Just buy from s2g.

"Sorry for the delay, I’ll most likely swap you to a different color or model. I had another headache from China yesterday trying to put a Damascus blade on an EX-10 for a customer. I spent about 4 hours over three days on that nightmare. China did everything to stop me from mounting it with no tap (all the parts were different sizes and didn’t match up), but I figured out all their problems and conquered it!

I’m going to boil those two hammer chabs today. It’s funny because only the safe handles were red threadlocked on both pieces, the bite came loose with no problem. I’ve already trashed the stuck screws and like five brand new bits… so pissed!

Slash to Gash, Jeff Farmer, is the real deal. Buy without reservation. Jeff went above and beyond to ensure the knife I bought is what I needed, rather than wanted. I have arthritis in my hands so it is difficult for me to use an OTF as some knife switches are so stiff they are impossible to open. Jeff referred me to the Bowie OTF Dual Action Switchblade Auto Knife 9" D2. Works like a dream, and is as smooth as butter for me to open and close. The Bowie OTF is smooth enough for me to be a fidget knife (see video). Dramatically different to others that I could not even open once! Highly recommend this with folks who have weaker hands. It even comes with a nice belt sheath.

Knife fit and finish is very good. Came out of the box razor sharp. The feel in hand due to the finger grips make it solid to hold, and added strength for my weak hands to switch the blade in and out.

Shipping was quick. Jeff is quick to respond to emails. The knife was professionally packed and arrived in perfect condition. Great customer service. It is great to do business with a small family owned shop that has big values in keeping customers happy. 3446 five star reviews can't be wrong .... make that 3447 reviews, with this post!

This is my third purchase through S2G, and likely not my last. Not only is the knife perfectly put together, but the customer service I received regarding how I wanted it put together was 10/10. Will always suggest S2G over buying clones anywhere else like Kolisong, AliExpress, etc. It's worth the premium EVERY time 👍

Not only do I love my BM42 clone which is the most accurate clone I’ve seen yet, but I love S2G! Found this site while looking for this specific product and not only are the products awesome but the owner of the site called me personally to tell me my bank is sending merchants the wrong information when transactions are attempted, which causes me issues that the bank never seems to fix. With his explanation I was able to tell my bank exactly what the problem was and they stopped shutting off my card all the time! Thanks for the help!

Honestly when I stumbled across this site I was a little skeptical just because it seemed too good to be true. After some digging and also seeing they actively respond to people in outside threads I decided to give it a shot. I could not be more impressed not only with the product (which is exactly what it says) but they actually reached out to me to confirm my order since I had mismatched billing and shipping! For a small business I would not expect this level of customer service. The gentleman I spoke to also advised me on how to get the product sooner and cheaper. You rarely see this attention or care from any business these days. 100% would recommend.

These guys are great. When I placed my order, these guys notified me that red flags popped up with my credit card, and had they not contacted me, I wouldn't have known that several days earlier, someone had gotten my credit card info and had a card sent to them at an address in another state. I'm so thankful the guys at slash2gash pay attention to details and care about their customers. The entire experience was a pleasant one and the knife is just as they advertised. Thanks Jeff and John!

Skeptical. That's the best word to describe how I felt when I stumbled upon slash2gash a couple weeks back. I've been into balis for quite a while, I own 5 of the real versions of the clones sold here. Therein lies my problem....I love to flip, I'm not very good, and the real deal knives are all worth 2-3 times what I paid for them.

So I ordered the Falcon as my test run. If the knife was even usable, I'd consider trying out the clones.

I gotta tell you, I'm blown away. I ordered the live blade knife in purple and an extra trainer blade-only. Zero tap out of the package, the grind on the blade is super tight and very nicely done. I flipped for about 30 min and still no tap. I slapped on the trainer blade and as expected the bushings needed some adjustment. About 30 minutes and a little KPL Heavy, that I also ordered from Slash2Gash, and the trainer blade fits as well as any of the real deal blades on knives 10x the price. Zero tap and smooth at butter.

Quality is quality. This knife is the best non name brand bali I've ever handled. Slash2Gash is about to see a lot more of my name on their order list!

This is a super sick knife. It flips like butter & comes super sharp. The overall quality is superb. The spring latch is tight and never gets in the way. The channel handles offer exquisite grip. I literally can't put this knife down. If you're in the market for a quality bali pick this up ASAP. You will not find a better bali for the price. It is a must have in any collection. Big thanks to S2G for looking out. YERRR.

I have purchased four products from S2G and been very, very pleased with the quality of each one. The turn-around time has been almost immediate and any ensuing customer service issues were resolved over the phone the same day. Very solid company to do business with.

Interaction Review:
I've read the reviews, I've watched the videos.. This thing is a beast. After the initial purchase, I was in contact with Jeff and he gave me a solid rundown on everything about the blade. He seemed more than versed in the hobby and was very friendly and informative.

Tune :
To start this off, the tune was amazing on arrival. Zero tap, such little play it's basically non-existent. Everything feels good, everything feels good quality. Zen pins sound awesome.

Knife Review :
Really glad I went with the CF scales, they feel great in the hand, I'm sure the G10 would have been nice as well, however I'm in love with the CF so far!
In closing, S2G has made a customer of me. I will definitely be ordering an extra spare hardware as soon as it arrives.

Just received my black alt blade frankie.. it's an amazing knife. I had alot a questions and s2g answered them all and then some absolutely some of the best customer service I have ever had for a purchase of anything. The bali has very little play and no tap. Will most definitely be making many more purchases. Thank you slash2gash for everything and thanks for a great experience in purchasing my first live blade bali super helpful. Beautiful knife.. just got it all loctite up and know to wait for 24hrs at leastOh yea and the shipping was super fast. I ordered it monday afternoon around 2 or 3 and it's here Thursday. So same day shipping is true. Man I just can thank yall enough. Feel like a kid on Christmas.

They mean it. Had a small hiccup on an order. Emailed me a return label, FREE, adjusted & sent back, all within a week. Sometimes it's the service, when really good. These people are! Highly recommend. If the follow-up service is bad, you never forget, it seems. I'd buy from here anytime. You're in good hands.

The shipping only took 2 days, and the product is amazing so far. It came without tap or play and felt amazing. I am using it as a beater so I don’t mind the tap it has now, but it still feels out of box! I’m sure if I took the time to replace the bushings with the spare hard ware that IT CAME WITH, and thread locked the screws it would be perfect. The fact that it came with a screw driver AND spare hardware is so satisfying, and even if you run out or lose the hardware, they sell spare hardware for realty cheap! Don’t waste your time with aliexpress it is likely that the package will get lost in shipment or take months to show up, however Slash to Gash is great, with better qc and costumer service, along with faster shipping. I don’t speak for everyone but I will pay an extra 30 dollars for any package if it means I will have a blemish free product that ships in days.

I bought a ton of products from s2g as a first time buyer and i just want to say, i am more than satisfied with everything! The products are great, (I ordered a kraken clone (live and trainer), falcon as well as a CHAB clone) as i wanted a step-up from those cheap balis youd get from other websites and buyers. The balis you get here flip absolutely amazing, little to no tap as well as minimal play coming right out of the box. Mr. S2G himself has told me that he goes through all the hardware to tweak each bali he sends out to ensure the best quality out of the box! Ended up making another purchase (kraken trainer and chab)right after the the live blade clone kraken, and Jeff was so kind enough to throw in a free tube of locktite! Extremely fast shipping, and amazing customer service! if there is any slip up or mishap in the order process Jeff will be very accommodating and helpful to in order to reach a solution. Safe to say, im ordering more from here.
Thank you Jeff and Slash2Gash for the extra gift you threw in for me as well as ensuring a fast, quick and quality services to one of my favorite hobbies!
