The Antarctic takes the proven Arctic platform to the next level. We retained the tried and tested Arctic blade, bushing system, and unique barrel spacer construction and added a fresh handle design to create the Antarctic. The Antarctic features tapered handles that provide a neutral flipping experience, with improved grip and control c

The bushing pivot system is amazing, a full two weeks of flipping it every day and there’s still no tap. The anodization of the handles and the PVD coating on the blade is extraordinarily beautiful, and the attention to detail is amazing as well, the holes in the blade literally have slight rounding on the inside of the incisions. The handles have so much grip, it’s very easy and fun to flip every single time, unless your hands are really cold. After you flip it for 5-10 minutes, the handles develop a strange feeling, that makes them EXTREMELY grippy. It’s not uncomfortable though. I have had absolutely no trouble pulling off any tricks, excluding the Chaplin because it’s a neutral balance, not a handle-heavy balance. However, you can easily fix this by just buying the adjustable weights and literally making it a handle bias balisong. Overall, this balisong is a must-buy for beginners, or people who are looking for growing their collection. It’s light, sounds great, and looks amazing.
