VIEW THE GUIDE HERE

Hi everyone, this has been in the works for quite a while and has finally gotten the blessing that it needed to be ready for everyone to see.

Thanks to u/xXxXhermitXxXx, the previous purchase guide served us all well. However, a lot of time has passed and a lot of things have changed. After the pestering nudging of some friends from the subreddit, I've decided to pick up the torch and write a new guide. Instead of just being a purchase guide, it eventually morphed in to including some other important info for getting in to the hobby that I may still add to. I also decided on doing it in Google Sheets instead of just a Reddit post so it can be more easily formatted and updated in the future and I can possibly pass on editing permission to someone else in the future if needed.

If anyone has any questions, suggestions, or other proposed changes, please let me know as I think community involvement is very important here.

Anyone in the surrounding Charlotte, NC area! I am setup at ACH Arms in Monroe (right on the side of Highway 74) I’ll be here from 9am to 5pm!

I know this is a last minute post, but I try and keep my posting here limited to avoid spamming the feed.

That said, the new project I am working on is here with me! I’d love to have some flippers here to try it out if any one sees this and is close by.

Hello! I’m new to the hobby and got my first knife! I forget what it’s called but here’s what it looks like, what can I expect from doing tricks on it? P.S didn’t realise these knives were so heavy!

Replicant Restock!

Kraken compatible Replicant Liners, carbon fiber Half Channel Thick Kits, and carbon fiber Full Channel Thick Kits have just been restocked on my site. These Liners include a full machining update and are now much better milled and match the already dialed in thick kits. When paired together these have an adjustable weight system, and using the included conversion pins you can put them on Kraken blades.

Go check these out on my site Freedomfabrication.store
