So many things went into my Lyra. I messaged Clarke months and months ago asking about getting one. He set one aside and then took the time to dial in the blade finish and anodization to exactly my liking. The tune is literally flawless, the corners are rounded, the sound is ringy, and the speed channels are gorgeous. The blade is pure art and I could just go on and on about this knife. That said, the lyra is simply peak balisong experience. It’s art. It’s built like a tank. It flips like a dream.
Lastly, my lovely wife got this knife as a birthday gift for me. She says- “This was the best purchase I could have made for my husband.” She was also blown away at the quality of this piece.
I was told by a buddy to check out Clarke and man o man I wish I would have sooner wrote him on instagram and he help me step by step I’ve never had a custom of any sort and he made it so easy and the blade is incredible I can’t wait to order another got my eyes set on a tanto!!!! And if you’ve been on the fence about ordering one this is your sign get one you will not regret it!!!
This is my second lyra and both of them are worth every cent. My first lyra is my go to EDC while it's been retaining its razor sharp edge for quite almost a year, and now is beginning to barely dull- still not safe enough for loose flipping yet! I've put together the DLC blade with the purple anos and they're simply divine and easily among the top blades in my collection. I'm so glad to have been fortunate enough to grab these. Also the bottle openers are sick!!
What can I say, after I bought my first I ordered another. After I received my second I ordered another. So I bought 3 in 2 weeks guess you could say i like it.
This knife is the best Balisong I’ve ever owned!! It checks the box for everything!! To pay under $500 for this knife is a steal. This tops my BRS knives etc. I will never sell this it’s just way too nice.
The Lyra is an exceptional value. The quality and attention to detail is superb. The balance and functionality of the design is also superior. You will not find a better flipping and all around knife at this price point.
Don't be put off by the weight. The balance is excellent, the fit and finish is excellent, the tune is better and more tight than any other balisong I've had. The blade grind is fantastic for actual use, and the grip is also excellent. Very comfortable to flip. 10/10 my favorite. (I own about 15 balis from different makers)
Perfect finish and tune. Great handle and blade grind. Everything is high end, and I was really impressed by the DLC finish. It gives the handles a grip that I find superb.
Why do I think this is the best Balisong of 2024? Well, to start, I want to say I bought two of these, a full satin prototype and then a full DLC. Both live blades.
You have a high quality full channel construction Balisong with a hand ground blade made in the USA for under $500.00!?!? This alone would put this knife into the top 10! But once I flipped it, it was number one for me!
My Lyra's came with perfect tune, super tight tolerances, no tap, no play, the DLC coating is flawless, and under 500USD!
Get one while you can! You will not be dissapointed!
