What people are saying about Gnostic Oblique

Nique Tan says...
The Gnostic Oblique is a worthwhile addition to the whole collection about billet techniques and stuff. It's simple but you will need to actually put in some work in order to kind of get it smooth and confident enough with it to use it in performance.
