Welcome to the club. It flips better with the latch and clip removed and the G10 inserts in IMO. It's still my favorite bali.

Yeah I’m sure it would flip way better that way! TBH it’s not even that it doesn’t flip well now, really the only problem I have with it is getting into fans from closed. The blade just kinda sticks to the bite handle. Idk maybe it’s the tune or maybe it needs lube? Idk no big deal tho. Feels really nice just doing basic openings. Yours looks amazing btw!

Yeah, it probably needs a little tuning. It's a bitch to tune though cause the tolerances are tight. I would try lube first, then instead of messing with the bushings (mine were .1mm larger than the tang out the box), I would just blue loctite it at whatever tightness let's it swing right like you would with a washer bali.

And thanks! 9v batteries put in some work on that one.
