They feature positive "sawtooth" jimping and an adjustable weight system to enable your Stitch to flip great with the stock Kukri blade, as well as Replicant and Kraken blades. Positive "sawtooth" jimping for extra grip and comfort. Adjustable Balance:Each Zippy spacer holds up to 5x tungsten weights, which enable you to fine tune the Stitch balance profile to your preference, no matter which blade you are running. Each spacer weights 0.039 oz empty, or up to 0.146 oz with all 5x tungsten weights installed. Zippy Handle Inlays Customize your Bxndxge Stitch with different colors, or add additional handle inlays to conceal the spacers/weights visible through the bottom "X" handle cutouts. These cosmetic inlays are made in-house from a rubbery, shatter-proof polyurethane. Included with each Stitch handle order are 4x inlays (enough to fill either the middle, or the bottom cutouts). To fill every cutout, you will need 8x inlays. Conceal the spacers and weight system by installing these inlays in the bottom "X" cutout, or change the color of the stock handle inlays in middle "X" cutout. All 4x inlays weighs 0.08 oz; there is no observed impact on balance. Pop in with your thumb, and can be removed (carefully) with a plastic-coated paperclip (to prevent scratching the Ti). Recommended balance configurations: Stock Kukri Blade (0.1228 oz) 0x weights: quite neutral. 1x weight: fairly neutral. 2x weights: Very light handle bias. 3x weights: Moderate handle bias. 4x+ weights Very handle biased, only a handful of users will opt for this balance. BRS Replicant Tanto Blade (1.571 oz) 0x weights: Very blade biased. 1x weight: Very blade biased. 2x weights: Blade biased. 3x weights: Dead neutral, possible hint of blade bias. 4x weights: Fairly neutral, hint of handle bias. 5x weights: Slight handle bias. BRS Replicant Alt Blade (1.494 oz) I have not yet tested the balance in this configuration. Being 0.077 oz less than the Tanto rep, I believe the balance will be shifted to the handles by 1-2x tungsten weights per spacer (e.g., use 1-2x fewer tungsten weights per spacer compared to Tanto for comparable balance profile). Squid Industries Bowie (1.314 oz) and Tanto (1.264 oz) Blades 0x weights: quite neutral. 1x weight: fairly neutral. 2x weights: Light handle bias. 3x weights: Moderate handle bias. 4x+ weights: Very handle biased, only a handful of users will opt for this balance.
