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!

I bought the stag horn damascus swinguard knife. Since I tend to be impatient, I paid for the next day air shipping. Well Jeff, the owner of the store took the time to contact me to let me know his store was surprisingly close to me. He even offered to personally drop the knife off at my house to save me $. As far as the knife, it has a solid build, excellent opening action & a solid lock up. Stag is genuine too. Great knife. Great company. Thanks Jeff!

I bought a number of these knives as gifts, they're a blast to play with and look great. What really blew me out of the water was the customer service, one of the knives I bought as a gift had a lock that wouldn't fully engage, and Jeff sent me a brand new one at no extra charge with a separate order I placed. You don't see customer service like that in most places anymore, thanks again Jeff!

Love my new knife. It is as described and is of high quality. Easy to understand what you're getting and easy to order. When I had an issue with shipping due to a mix-up with my address, I promptly received an email from the owner asking me to call him. When I called, it was the owner himself. No recordings, no robots. He explained to me the issue and was knowledgeable of how to resolve the issue. The issue (again, the issue was on my end, not his) was resolved and my knife was sent out very quickly. It arrived on time, even earlier than I was expecting. I highly recommend using this website and supporting this small business. The process from beginning to end was painless and worry free. I will be shopping here again!

The three switchblades I purchased are absolutely amazing. The quality of these switchblades far exceed the price paid for them. A very rare occurrence these days as we all know. Truly I do not have a single negative on any of the three I purchased. But what is truly going to keep my coming back to Slash2Gash is not only the amazing quality knives at a price I still cannot believe, but the absolute best customer service I have received online. Jeff went above and beyond to not only ensure the accuracy of my order for immediate processing but talk out the best delivery option possible to ensure my switchblades arrived before I had to return from the holidays. The turn around time from time I placed the order to delivery was only 3.5 days, truly amazing. It is this customer service that will be bringing me back for the whole collection.

I'm so impressed with the service on my order! I saw that what I wanted was out of stock, and asked if when it came back in they could modify it so that I had one color for the bite handle and another for the safe handle. In less than 30 minutes I got a reply from Jeff saying that not only had new stock just come in, he'd be happy to accommodate my request. I placed my order and specified the blade style and color for each handle that I wanted, and again, in less than 30 minutes I had a tracking order for my package.

I just got my package today. The knife is already tuned out of the box with the pivots swinging smoothly and freely with no tap whatsoever. The appearance is flawless with regard to machining, anodizing and symmetry of the handles, and Jeff delivered exactly the combination I requested.

I'm super happy with my new knife, and will definitely be back for future purchases. Thank you!

Many sites stated out of stock on this color- this one didn't. Product was exactly what I wanted and shipping was super fast. Owner even took the time to personally call me to verify my information prior to shipment - this is a rarity these days! Definitely recommend this product and this company!

Better than I had thought! Also shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived in my hands 2 days later. Better than waiting on the China shipping. Will be looking into ordering from slash2gash again!
