TheONE Butterfly Knife w/ Bushings TITANIUM Balisong - 4X series (clone)

I've owned several of "The One" 4X clones over the years, but this is my first with Titanium handles. The difference in weight from the stainless version is immediately apparent. Titanium is about as light as aluminum but is stronger than stainless steel. The precision machining and finish are excellent, as usual for "The One". I'm a big fan of pivot pin bushings. They allow you to lock the pins down tight to reduce lateral handle movement and prevent blade slap, while the handles still swing free and smooth. $139 is, I think, a good price for this well made titanium handle balisong! I've seen sellers asking $200 for 4X Titanium handles alone. And, Jeff at Slas2Gash is great - has always responded when I've had a question.

I just got my 42 clone today and it's by far the best balisong I own. The build quality is easily on par with knives that cost 2 or 3 times as much, and the tune on mine was near perfect. About as little play as you could ask for and absolutely no tap.

The latch doesn't throw off the balance, thanks to it being a spring latch so it doesn't swing around, and also relatively light. That's perfect for me, because I've been looking for a good flipper that I don't have to remove the latch from.

If I have to nitpick one thing, it's that the latch is a very tight fit when the knife is closed, which means it takes quite a lot of force to engage the spring, so it's pretty hard to pop open with one hand. Still manageable though once you get used to it.

Overall, my experience with both the knife and the store have been ace so far, and this will definitely be the first place I look for my balisong clone needs in the future. Also, as someone who's got an almost problematic hoard of knife company stickers, S2G has some of the best.

Placed order on a Thursday or Friday evening and received it Monday morning, items are perfect, cut myself twice so that's a win! Put masking tape on blades and taped my fingers back together 👍😅 couldn't be happier. Earned my recommendation. Turned a friend onto the site last night he will be placing an order as well. Thanks guys great experience

I love this knife. It's everything I hoped it would be. If you you like this style knife don't hesitate, just buy it.

Great quality, fit and finish. I'd say almost superior to the BM42 I owned a while back. Gave it 5 but 4.5 would be a bit more accurate because I had to tune the handle play a little and add some loctite to the pivot screws. Also, not sure why the spring lock head is machined upside down, but it works besides being a little scratchy in the mating divot in the handle. All in all fantastic quality far exceeding the price. Glad I bought it.
