Riptide-Create with Nabalis 2026

beautiful but problematic

the knife design is amazing, arguably the prettiest of the nabalis selection (in my opinion) - out of the box, the flipping experience was 10/10 the issue I have is with the included backplates - I fearfully disassembled my knife in order to try install them, only to discover the ones I have received don't even fit? This was fine, not the end of the world However, now that I've reassembled the knife it feels.. off.. and there's a small rattle - as far as I can tell I reassembled it exactly as it was before but maybe I don't have the nabalis magic touch so now I'm a bit disheartened

love the riptide its amazing! people i say we're complaining about the back liners kinda sucking and i can say they suck and not nabalis quality but other then that I love it. the cheese is really good and I recommend it to any beginners! it Flips similar to a kraken that has tepholon overall would recommend both to most people evan h

flips amazing but tune was so bad both handles were binding and needed to tune the bushings requiring me to take it apart and put it back together several times ladders felt good on it but the bite indicator hardly does anything when I purposely chaplained on it. They also did not give enough washers for me to max out the adjustable weight spacers, and the 3d printed back frames were printed so badly that they wouldn't even fit I would not recommend this to a beginner or person who is getting into the hobby over all
