[Morrisonninja7]

That was a lot of help thanks

[SaotaTheSangheili]

WADSWORTH CONSTANT APPLIES

[Qaysumah]

Oh and. His neck is beast. I want a neck like that. Full of muscle son!

[Qaysumah]

This is fucking easy. Just do perfect every single step alone. and then try to do them together slowly then just keep doing it and u'll gain speed.

[AlwaysMeetsForever]

two words- Fuck... Thiss

[AlwaysMeetsForever]

the only person with a thicker neck is cory from Slipknot

[freakoutnodout]

Were can i find a butterfly knife

[dsabbr]

@freakoutnodout butterfly knifes can be found in shops that sell swords and stuff,certainly not in soupermarkets.If you have the possibility,buy it from ebay,you can also,if you want,tell me in wich country you are so i can search for that kind of shops.

[tarheelskk]

haha screw this.

[mrhsfm]

dude you look like da guy from the zero day thing, you know the school shootout. Yea.......

[RedFrostproductions]

I hurt my self on my 3rd try..... 3rd time the charm my ass

[mrfisher98]

Got the trick down on my 4th try:)

[Pothosferoo]

the song is 'behind the 8 ball, by calvin russel'

[balisongsuser]

@liam131112  you should get one they are addicting and amazing once you figure out how to use them

[balisongsuser]

god damn i cant get it

[wikiman1011]

You shouldn't play music while you're talking.

[Braeden123698745]

This is something for time warp.

[91IttyBitty]

@azteckia whats the song at the start of the vid?

[stiga888]

yeaaah I can do it ! thanks for your tutorials azteckia !!!

[ZhangFeiofYan]

I call this move 'You won't have any fingers left after doing this'

[Jordan3445]

is that knife a bm 42?

[8GrejmoN8]

@Jordan3445 Yep, I'm pretty sure it's the Benchmade 42.

[DisturbingTh3Peace]

ANOTHER AMAZING TUT! Just got The Viper down to where i can do it 90% of the time lol

[FailedGambits]

Okay, so at 1:57, you are holding the bite handle. What I want to know is how to finish off this move with the blade facing the proper direction (down, not up, holding the safe handle).

[Banana59spartan]

i suck to much to do this :(

[hondanumber8]

one of the last tricks i learned and dddddddaaamn does it look cool thanks for tortortional

[TehEvilWolf]

thickest fucking neck EVER. 

[thgirwjt]

@TehEvilWolf if you think that his neck is thick, look up george fisher. he's the vocalist for cannibal corpse. and he has a huge fucking neck.

[Drahgma]

@TehEvilWolf Corpsegrinder beats him by a foot around.

[TheMeekl]

ARGH, WHY DOES THE 42 ALWAYS LOOK LIKE IT SPINS AROUND PEOPLE'S FINGERS 40 TIMES IN ONE ROLLOVER

I MEAN REALLY BENCHMADE

REALLY

[WeaDaSwell]

wow benchmade 42.. how much did you get that for?

[thewhitetroll]

Hello John :D

[NikAndLauren]

press 7, then 5, then 6.

"your gonna knife his thumb"

[DrPicklesify]

i love how incubuses is in the suggestions...

[pieloverx]

I FUCKING DID IT WOOT!

[KaterooisKOOL4EVER]

its hard for me to catch thatt last part

[ekkkkkknoes]

I REALLY need at least a training balisong. I can't swing this bionicle thing.

[2s7a2m7]

This move is so fun thanks.

[mistad51]

I do this same trick but you take it to another level by using the bite handle after the second flip with your thumb. I just continue with it and grab the end and go into an aerial, close the knife or continue with two more flips and open it. I like your version but I don't like taking the risk of cutting myself. I do very few bite handle tricks.

[Balthazzarr]

What knife is that? Brand name, etc.

[taylorcola]

@Balthazzarr neWbZZZ

[Cestdesconneries]

@Balthazzarr Benchmade 42. Basically the best knife ever, just priced at $280 on the Benchmade website

[bloodXreaper12]

@Cestdesconneries Yes, but they were sadly discontinued :(

[THEPRO1238]

@RockMySrocks allright its good to know that there is lefty that uses it

[THEPRO1238]

dude if you are still looking at your comments please read mine anyways i have been looking at your vids im trying to learn the eight ball i cant get the last part well its hard for me cause im a left handed soo it sucks any tips?

[Skywarp07]

Is that a benchmade model 51 balisong? 

[TheCampbell808]

u look tired

[billnyethenazispy1]

hey i wrestle also, varsity 119, anyway i got my balisong about a week ago, i can only do moves up 2 around the world.

[betukabetuka]

Nice video!! I am Brazilian and a beginner in the practice of bailsong. I am interested to buy a balisong as you use to make videos. What manufacturers or brands should I look? Thank you.

[altoman107]

@betukabetuka I would look for a benchmade of some kind. they are very high quality and a good flipper

[altoman107]

@betukabetuka I would look for a benchmade of some kind. they are very high quality and a good flipper i would recommend either a 42 or a 51

[taylorcola]

@altoman107 good luck finding the discontinued 42

[RIPJUSTINBIEBER1]

Great tutorial. It's easy to follow what you are doing in the video. (not easy to do though)

[wldpftkfkd]

It's nice!! but very dagnerous

[freeport75123]

u look like that guy off of mad tv lol



[m14airsoftman]

What song is that?

[kyleloll]

WOW HARD NOT EASY 

[uchia001]

sick video has anyone ever told you that you look like lionell messi an argertinain soccer player

[fallingpoint1]

@honorher your a fucking dumbass r u kidding me WTF do they say in the song repeatedly is it maybe behind the 8 ball? Cause idk u tell me

[mpkillerlille]

Epik video fan va grym

[TheLATraveler]

i think i get it, but i have a problem getting the last move in your video. from where you are holding the "bite end" handle with your fingers and the "safe end" is on top of back of your palm

[honorher]

what song is that oh and by the way the more i do the move its seems the worse i get i was doin it perfect but now its taunting me

[KAKLOUKY]

I did this and cut off my middle finger and ring finger :'( now i have a plastic finger now =( thanks.

[KAKLOUKY]

@KAKLOUKY haha yah rite i dont even own a real one just a metal home made one

[RunNGunTaxiCo]

Very helpful tutorial. Btw the song is Behind the Eightball by Calvin Russell.

[ZliMare]

You are wrestler with shoulders like a little baby... HAHAHAH

anyway nice trick. :)

[Sound0o]

@ZliMare lol u are retarded or what?

[ZliMare]

@Sound0o y?

[piooii]

awesome man.. whats the song.. ?

[girgle5]

Hey... great tut, but having some trouble with the first spin, where you spin on pointer finger upsidedown.. feels like I can't get enough speed or clumsy.. any tips?

[cchayann]

what class you wrestle, i go 52's

[see46]

thanks! great tutorial, I did it my...7th try, give or take

[davidvon1]

hey thanks for the move it was really tricky though lol but great tutorial :)

[GERMAN1RAY]

awsome tutorials where did u get the name from? "azteckia"

[nikkolei]

you could accidently stab ur self at the spinning part lol

[relentless518]

dude ur good.. i tried doing that with mine and i failed haha

[860boomerang]

are you a pot head?

[italiano453]

@860boomerang he can be ugly but he wrestler so HES AWESOME <3333333333

(NO OFFENCE PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT AS OFFENCE CAUSE ITS NOT SPECTARORS AND AZTECKIA)

[coryc18]

hey who sings this song?

[bisonvarsity119]

yo u gotta a thick ass neck, did u ever wrestle?? lol

[azteckia]

ha ha thats pretty funny, yes i am a wrestler. I've never had a comment about that before :]

[spartns12344]

Why do wrestlers get such thick necks?

[azteckia]

Because you have to keep a kink in your neck when you wrestle to stop your opponent from using your head to throw you out of a good position

[billnyethenazispy1]

@azteckia plus our coaches make us hold bridges for hours at a time plus people are snaping our heads the whole time.

[Valkiraun]

@azteckia wrestling and knife flipping. over here in australia, we are all such pussies, with so many laws preventing us from doing thins and ridiculously hypocritical popular trends, i envy your life.

[asdajfbiaf]

@azteckia dude i wrestle i was varsity my freshman year at 140



[kooguyfromda702]

@spartns12344 or so if someone turns you, you can bridge even though you have the body weight of another person on you

[skipmasta]

yeah, dude. ur neck is huge. im wrestling for my first year this year :D i love it

[TheBalisongGuy]

@azteckia thats funny i wrestle and flip too!!! where do you wrestle

[Dominator1212]

@azteckia

I wrestle too man IDK why that is what ppl think, I went 28-1 and I wrestled the 250 when I was 201 so yeah your nott the only one

[Faccas117]

@bisonvarsity119 you think thats a big neck, look at takeo spikes neck

[Ducatiman15]

nice video im gunu try that, now all i gotu do is get the knife im hating aussie laws lol

[cacaman100o]

the stubborn little shit would spin around if it wasnt so dam tiny im using a key chain balisong

[Kyu1LL]

this looks sketchy haha... i need to tighten the screws on my bm42 before i attempt this. thanks for the vid though.

[andmuerte]

Es un muy buen truco gracias por explicarlo tan bien

[SaltyDogJr]

dude please tell me the name of the song

[guitarguy1337]

This is my favorite balisong trick and probably my favorite trick out of all my hobbies, and it was all possible for me to learn it because of this tutorial and your hard work. Thanks!

[theronandjessica]

Thanks John! I learned this trick last night. It would have taken me a lot longer watching others do this :D Great tut!

Peace,

T

[Battlemike91]

any way to show it slower:)

[C4SEM4N]

badass

[balibalisong]

song name???

[mrstilettoman]

do eny of you know how to make a otf knife? plz help!

[SiLkBalla]

THE LATCH ON MY BALISONG IS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF, there is nothing preventing the blade from opening now, i mean i can still use the knife, but it just wont close tightly and securely now that there is no latch at all!, is this a big problem? how can i repair the latch?

any ideas?

PLEASE HELP anyone get at me

[andyson7767]

its not much of a problem you just have to check which side to hold instead of basing it on the latch position

[01200projects]

my latch is also broken off... not really a big deal...

[garlictoast23]

use a coil spring about 1 to 1/2 milli thing and make sure it is at least and half inche longer than it handles together then put in in the groves

[zliveris12345]

what i take mine off if its a cheapo. latches suck, dont worry about it, unless its a benchmade

[PaperFanblade]

god damn I wish it was a bit slower, lol

[TheBALISONGmaster]

if you jnow what this song is please pm me

[iamwarlord]

can i legaly get a knife like this in canada

[TheBALISONGmaster]

not sure if u can get a real knife like that but u can get a balisong trainer anywhere u live cause its not a real knife

[trainingTraceur]

No you can't, trainers follow the same rules as balisongs.

[TheBALISONGmaster]

well, wasnt sure cause u cant commit a crime with a trainer. som1 just told me that

[zliveris12345]

this tricks kick ass. i think the second rotations the hardest because it kept falling out of my hand. but u make awsome tutorials

[baliflyboy]

I'm sooo close, I just need to get that third rotation down!

[lamby1639dj]

Great tutorial. I've completed it a couple times now. Not very quick or smooth yet, but practice practice.

[balibalisong]

song name ??

[AL3X9995]

Ahhhhhh, my knife slipped off and shanked me good!

[etherman84]

thanks, not too hard and not too easy!

[cervantescarlos88]

can u do the orbit

[liisrandom]

he did

[kuroganeki]

It's called zen rollover.

[booch137]

the 3rd rotation is the zen, the second is actually the backside of the blade rolling around the thumb.

[christihaney]

This is a pretty hard trick (for beginners like me) but you're tutorial really broke it down...THANK you so much! Awesome job!

[Alucardx469]

okki... i have a problem... on the third rotation my pointer finger always seems to get in the way... what can i do to stop that from happening?

[mypetridish]

does the balisong has a sharp edge? or does it only have a single sharp point?

[Steve0113]

One side of the blade is sharpened

[stuntman01427]

Yeah, that's the trick. You have to hold the safe handle which is the one with the blunt end towards it. The bite handle will cut your fingers off if you accidently hold it.

[XaveriusThe666]

Wow..

Very cool n hard to do it..

[shadowxps]

Wow this is an amazing trick. I'm surprised but with your help I'm actually getting it down. Well it still sucks but I can at least do it.

[loveandquarks]

Thanks so much. I was trying to figure out how to do this and hoping there was at least one person out there that could sympathize with my beginner status and make a decent tutorial.

You're awesome dude!

[KingFofo666]

great tutorial dude, but hey, you often got pretty cool music in your vids, may u add the name and band to ur video discripations please?

[nazaric]

great tutorial, but any tips on how to get to turn the knife for the third spin? thats the part im having difficulty with most. Also mabye a slow motion replay of the move would be quite helpful. Thanks and keep up the great work

[werewolfofzion1]

you should also say who does your songs each time this is one of your better explnations

[KeepingSanityBand]

wow man, one of my friends told me to watch this and i definently just bought a Butterfly knife like 10 mins ago because of this haha. ive always wanted one but this was the closing deal! and i have a request for you, learn the Helix. my friend can do Behind the Eight Ball into a Helix so it would be sweet if you could post a vid on it! thx man keep it up!

[think2x]

man, this is a really difficult move for me. it just doesn't flow very well. it helped me to download the video and watch it in slow motion to transitions between spins and what angle to do the spin. john, you certainly have some interesting tutorials. keep up the good work.

[bbrowny26]

wow, really douch?

[eeiko321]

love your videos dude!

[efinkGNOSILAB]

I love this move now. The most intimidating move I've seen before I tried it...

[MetalheaD893]

geah!

i've got to get this down...awesome video.

[gkurosaki]

Dude you{re awesome unbelivable, the ballisong dances in your hand.

[SeizeMyDick132]

haha cut myself trying this one out but i'm starting to get it.

[thdasnakeguy]

but electric tape down the sharp side of the blade and you wont get cut when you practice moves

[theparkers2004]

you make it look so easy to me

[Sk8brdr323]

Behind the Eight Ball to Aerial, bro you inspire the manipulator in me! lol

[dicksmay]

when you finish this off with the wrist roll are you saposed to catch the blade facing up or normal grip cuz i am catching it with the blade facing up...not sure why but i am

[thebeargod23]

dude where did you find the music?

[Luis225pwns]

bro..seriously your the best. thank you

[nate3993]

thanks a million....PERFECT!

[armada1e]

this move is almost exactly like the helix. instead of the zen in the helix theres like a triple roll out here. everything else is the same

[armada1e]

this move is so hard!!!!

[paulolebr]

Thanks John, Just the kind of move I was looking to learn. Keep it Up.

[azteckia]

no problem! if you liked that move keep an eye out for the helix tutorial. ill be making a video on that soon. its a very similar move and its really fun

[Digiwelly]

can't wait for the helix tutorial. =]

[Str8gallis]

I think I just made a decent enough tutorial.

[sebastiandrengen]

Hey!

it is some really good movies you make.

and im training a lot so thanks!

[matt90111]

thanks!

i'll just keep practising than.

[matt90111]

great tutorials!

I think the ones from cutlerylover are the best but yours are also very nice.

do you have any tips for the part in the move were you are going from the second roll to the thirth one???

[azteckia]

thanks! no there's not much i can say for that. it is definitely the hardest part of this move but the only way to get it down fluently is with practice.

[maggotmatt6sic6]

you got some skill..

i know i couldent do that

[incubis]

Yes this is my move I think I am the only one to do it.

Nice video and tanks for the props should attach it to my video...

[azteckia]

well i finally learned how to do that so i sent u a request thing

[BigM150]

hey man the way you do the tutorail is great

my favorite guy for tutorials is cutlerylover becouse he talks you true the whole move... ur getting that aswell nice

[azteckia]

thanks a lot ;) cutlery is my favorite for tutorials as well. I'm trying to incorperate a little bit of his style into my tutorials. Talking through moves is really the best way to do it

[l3banesemaf1a]

ya me too, i love cutlery's but im starting to like urs too nice job :D

i think this move is too advanced for me though xD i can do each part of this seperatly but i cant seem to put it all together. and i for some reason i cant do that wrist thing that swings the knife around i always wither have to bounce it off the back of my hand or make is pause for a sec

i dunno just need more practice i guess

anyway thanks for the video :D

[gemvane]

can you make the 12 motion? (if its called this) cuz i want to learn it

[azteckia]

12 motion? I dont believe I'm familiar with that

[run4yourlife24x]

Very nice tuturial, helped me out alot.

[larzi13]

Nice tutorial man:)

[azteckia]

thanks! i appreciate it!
