    Product Description

    Modify the balance of your LDY Cygnus balisong with these custom-made Zippy extension spacers. The spacers are made in-house from a shatter-proof polyurethane, and protect the handles from hard drops. The spacers also feature an adjustable weight system and positive jimping. Optional handle inlays modify the grip of the handles and deepen the sound. There is a special technique so installing the spacers; please watch the assembly video while installing the spacers.

    Features

    • Extend handle length from 5.61" to 5.73".
    • Modify the balance of your LDY Cygnus to be more blade biased, more handle biased, and everything in between. Each spacers holds up to 3x removable tungsten weights, allowing you to fine-tune the balance of the Cygnus to your preference
    • Positive jimping for extra grip on ladders and chokers.
    • Optional handle inlays modify the grip and deepen sound. They pop in with your thumb and can be popped out with a plastic-coated paperclip.
    • Spacers are compatible with all types and generations of different Cygnus blades.
    • Spacers each weigh 0.085 oz (empty), and up to 0.149 oz (all 3x weights installed). For comparison, the stock spacers each weigh 0.106 oz. The handle inlays weigh 0.073 oz total. With Zippy spacers and handle inlays installed, the LDY Cgynus (with cutout-live blade) weighs 3.874 oz (empty), and up to 4.003 oz (all weights installed). For comparison, the stock Cygnus (with cutout-live blade) weighs 3.913 oz

    Assembly Instructions

    Remove the stock spacer sexbolts and spacers. Insert the Zippy spacers. Apply inward pressure so that the extension is pressed into the handles to ensure the sexbolt holes line up. Insert the sexbolts while continuing to apply inward pressure. Then, tighten the bottom-most body screw till there is a strong resistance, and tighten the upper body screw till there is a light resistance. Insert the stock spacer below the Zippy spacer and tighten the uppermost body screw until the handles catch upon the stock spacer; then remove the stock spacer from the channel. Visually examine the handle slabs to ensure they are parallel. If you see inward bowing, tighten the bottom-most body screw. If you see outward bowing, loosen the outermost body screw. Then reinsert the stock spacer in the channel and tighten/loosen the upper body screw until it catches on the stock spacer, and it can be removed from the channel. Repeat the above procedure until the handles are parallel and the handles "catch" upon the stock spacer. Do not overtighten the body screws— this can overcompress the spacer and narrow the channel, which could affect tolerances. If you have calipers you can measure the width at the pivot and just tighten/loosen the spacer screws till the channel width at the spacer matches the channel width at the pivots (~4.55 mm) and the thickest part of the handle measures ~14.10 mm.

    Inlays are styling and functional

    My Cygnus is my favorite knife and I love adding the additional flair of the inserts. When I bought mine it came with green inserts and I thought it worth buying purple ones to match my ano. Very comfortable without sacrifing grip of the cutout. The shape of the cutout also means you cannot push the inserts all the way through (in fact you should push as far as you can for some grip with the milling)

    Spacers are awesome, inlays are super fun to just have, it fills the void and provides more grip

    Spacers are awesome, they add a little bit to the handle and the weights are super fun to play with, this also gave me an opportunity to learn how to tune a sandwich style balisong. Great experience and zippy helped me a lot with information on what to do.

    Zippy mods go hard!

    Every knife I've ever had that zippy has mods for,I bought, and have never been disappointed. The Cygnus spacers (with no weights) bring the knife to dead neutral. Love it! Thanks bro, I appreciate all you do for this community!

    International shipping

    International Shipping

    Zippy ships international, but the buyer accepts the risk for lost, damaged, or seized packages-it is the customer's responsibility to comply with all local laws and regulations when importing and using this product. It is the customer's responsibilities to be aware of all import requirements when ordering, including but not limited to paying customs/import/duty fees. All international customers: it is your responsibility to looking up your country's customs requirements when you order to ensure you are in compliance, and interface with your country's customs and pay all associated fees if necessary.

    For EU customers, be advised that customs will apply a VAT fee of approximately 30€ for importing products that exceed 100€. This is subject to change depending on up-to-date EU regulations; it is the customer's responsibility to verify this at the time of your purchase.

    For questions and concerns (looking at you, Aussies), please contact me at zippybalisong@gmail.com. If the Zippy is shipped in 2 packages, you will need to assemble the trainer following these instructions:

    My package hasn't arrived, or my package is lost; what should I do?

    Noooooo! Don't panic yet. So far I've never actually had a package get lost in the mail, although delays with USPS aren't unheard of, especially if the shipping is international. If you're a US-customer and your package is lost in the mail, appears lost in the mail, or was marked delivered but wasn't actually delivered, call the USPS immediately (1-800-275-8777)**. The faster they get on the case, the more likely you'll reach a timely resolution and get your Zippy ASAP. You can email me about it, but once I ship it out, I don't have access to any additional information that you don't--I'm just going to refer you to call the shipping carrier for resolution.

    **Some tips when calling USPS:
    (1) Do not use speakerphone, as this will confuse the automated system.
    (2) From the automated menu, say "Package," and follow the prompts with your tracking number.
    (3) When it offers "visual mode," I recommend you use it. It's faster and more streamlined.
    (4) At the end of the automated system which will track your (delayed) package, say "agent" or "representative" so you can speak to an agent and explain the issue.
    (5) Sometimes they only allow the sender to open an investigation. If that's the case, shoot me an email asking for the shipping label, and then use the return address information on the shipping label to provide the sender information.

    If you are an international customer and your package hasn't arrived yet, contact your local postal service that interfaces with USPS to evaluate the situation--worst case scenario you may need to reach out to customs to see if your package made it through or was seized. It is the customer's responsibility to comply with all local laws and regulations when importing my products.

    Hopefully your package is just delayed (this has always been the case historically when a package appears lost), but if it is actually lost in the mail, I'm very sorry. Believe it or not, it's just as heartbreaking for me as it is for you, since I make every balisong myself and put a lot of love into each one. Unfortunately, I am unable to take responsibility for packages that get lost in the mail (or seized by customs). I offer a variety of shipping options which have different levels of pricing and reliability/risk, and it's up to you to choose what is best for you. I am unable to replace lost packages for free, since each product takes me a considerable amount of time and financial investment to make; I'm not a big Amazon company that manufactures their stuff overseas. Thank you for understanding.

    Warranty & Returns

    Warranty

    If part of the Zippy breaks within 1 year of purchase and it affects functionality, I will replace it for free. Contact me at zippybalisong@gmail.com

    In order to qualify for this policy, the issue must affect the function of the balisong. Normal wear and tear (including scratches and dings caused by repeated impact) is not covered by this warranty unless it affects the functionality of the balisong or I determine it to be the result of a manufacturing defect. In order to reduce cost for the customer, the Diode is not covered under the Zippy Warranty.

    Worn M2 x 0.4mm nylock nuts are consumables and should be replaced from time to time if you disassemble frequently--these are not covered by the warranty.

    Returns & Order Cancellation

    I do not accept returns or refunds. All orders are final. Packages that are delayed or lost in the mail are not my responsibility. Many of my products are made-to-order and by the time you contact me to cancel, I may have already begun working on your parts. I am a one-man operation and returns are far too time consuming and costly to deal with. I appreciate you supporting my small business.
