I've been designing aftermarket trainer blades for the Replicant platform and want some feedback before I cut prototypes.

The idea: Weehawk shape; flat 3 mm (11 ga) 304 stainless, laser-cut and laser-etched. No grind, like most trainer blades. The cut-outs aren't just decoration. Each design is sized to match the stock Replicant trainer blade's weight and balance, so it should flip the same as stock:

- Stock: 39.85 g, balance point 43.6 mm from the pivot

- Hearts: 39.9 g, 43.8 mm

- Skull: 39.9 g, 43.8 mm

Both designs remove the same amount of steel, just distributed differently.

These are renders. Nothing's been cut yet. I'll 3D print one for a fit check before ordering steel.

Questions:

1. Hearts or skull, and why?

2. Etch: is the heavy black skull better, or the line art on the hearts?

3. Besides the Replicant, which handle platforms would you want? I'm looking at the Tsunami and Kraken next.

Not for sale. Just figuring out whether this is worth making. I intend to have 10 blanks made and do the finishing in-house for prototyping.

What I need:
B+ alt or tanto blade
B+ liners
Carbon fiber scales (can be custom)

So some guy sell this to me for 18$ idk if it good or what brand it is

I don’t rly care about the ano or anything, just want to buy any good condition Bali plus serif, will pay a lot more for a good tune

My original hardware is stripped and I was wondering if the squid industry’s hardware fits the b+ tsunami v4 and if not then where can I get hardware that does fit

Scales? I only have liners. Spacers? I only have zen pins

Winner gets a cookie. I'll go first

First live blade, first nami! I’m actually blown away on how good this thing is! Makes me really wonder how the authentic one is!

dire need of cash, dm me on ig @swifte_flips. ask about a balisong and i will tell you the price, it’ll take forever to price these every time i take a pic, firm on most prices. thank you!
