AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Value Blackout costs less than half the price and gives you five blade patterns to choose from, but it's noticeably heavier and you're taking a risk on build consistency. The Code Encrypt is a genuine pro-spec stick with NHL balance, but you're locked into one flex and curve, and it costs significantly more.
