Differences Concept Vs Release
[edit | edit source]The Concept had a Construction#Chanwich design because Ivy wanted Nabalis to cage the zen pins in titanium just like on the Squid Industries Tsunami because Nabalis notoriously only glues their zen pins, instead of press-fitting them. Nabalis has however decided to change the Crescent to a Construction#Channel design because they have experienced some difficulty with a previous Construction#Chanwich balisong they manifacture.
