You can do every trick without problems. It only lacks a bit of tip weight on this blade configuration. It’s not performance oriented or for very fast flipping but more standard/relaxing and pleasant flipping. I must say that compared to other more expensive grails it does flip and feel very good and light. -Handles: 9/10; The handles have a very standard dimension without being too small or too big; They balance quite well the blade which lacks tip weight. The Jimpings are ok but can be more accentuated and more present along the handles: the jimpings are better than Cygnus V1 but not as good as LDY Aluminum Cygnus. Something to be noticed is that the Carbon Fiber/G10(based on the version) on the Cygnus V2 have a better(resolved the abrasive issue) positioning near the pivots so they don’t interfere with chaplins (there was an abrasive effect) compared to the Cygnus V1 and Aluminum cygnus. They are rounded in every corner and that makes them very good in flipping and at the touch. The only issue can be the fact that they become thicker in the end which can be something not so comfortable for everyone. -Grippiness: 9/10; very good grippiness, near perfection. It’s not slippery on most parts, maybe only titanium surfaces could be slippery sometimes even with texture on them, but normally isn’t noticeable because for the most part you keep in touch with the carbon fiber surfaces. The carbon Fiber surfaces have perfect grip nor too much nor too less; Carbon Fiber on all Three Cygnus feels different: Cygnus V1 feels like G10, Cygnus V2 has a dry feeling while Aluminum Cygnus is very grippy and feels abrasive. -Balance: 8/10; good balance for flipping experience: neutral with lack of blade tip weight. It just needs more tip weight and blade weight distribution because the blade shape is cool but it lowers balance and flipping experience; -Sound: 9/10; nutty, deep, not quiet and bouncy, somehow crispy in a non standard way. To be noticed that without oil it doesn’t bounce a lot and is like muted/attenuated/cushioned. The sound is obviously a personal rating and it doesn’t affect the overall value/tier. -Quality: 9.5/10; Premium quality as a grail balisong. There are no big issues, maybe the tuning could be better and the blade coating shouldn’t be one that can let marks be on it: finger print or oil marks remain on it and you need to remove them with alcohol. -Price Range: 400-900$; Budget compared to other grails and it even offers various custom options, such as Anodization, Damascus Handles, Pearly blade insert, choice of colors etc… -Overall Value/$: 7/10; is it low as value/$ mainly because the price is really high. -Tier S; -Overall It’s a very good quality grail balisong which has even a “Budget Price” compared to others. I would recommend this balisong to anyone who is in the endgame of this hobby and wants a grail without a lot of budget: it flips very well, has no quality issues, improved performance and design compared to the LDY Cygnus V1, very enjoyable sound and flipping. The only issue is the blade which hasn’t enough tip weight (due to the design) but beyond that there are no other problems. PS: Is it an Expensive balisong and I know I shouldn’t say it’s ‘budget’ but considering the fact that other titanium balisong big brands such as Machinewise with 700$ standard balisongs or JK with 1000$ ones or even one of the most budget standard(not grail) authentic balisongs as the BBsuperfly with 299$ I can pretty much say the Cygnus V2 is ‘budget’ in the grail category. #RAD #Cygnus #V2 #v #radcygnusv2 #radcygnus #cygnusv2 #ldycygnus #ldy #v1 #ldycygnusv1 #cygnusv1 #ldyaluminumcygnus #ldy #aluminumcygnus #ldyalcygnus #alcygnus #titanium #handles #titaniumhandles #titaniumhandle #Balisong #ButterflyKnife #BalisongTricks #EDC #balisongknives #KnifeCollection #balisongflipping #balisongvideos #balisongs #balisongcommunity #butterflyknifeflipping #balisongtechniques #techniques #butterflyknives #jimping #beautifulknives #butterflyknifecommunity #skilltoy #skill #balisongtrick #flipping #knifelife #balisongflipper #butterflyknifetrick #butterflyknife #balisonglife #everydaycarry #balisongcollection #fingertrainer #finger #flipping #tricks #balisongflipping #knifeflipping #flipper #trainer #trainerblade #steelblade #soundtest #sound #test #zenpin #sandwich #chanwich #fullchannel #channelled
