Balisong Instructional - Latch Drop

[moastytoasty54]

Does anyone know if the Balisong is currently legal or not in Pennsylvania? I know there was a court hearing where it was deemed legal, but that was awhile back and I'd like to know whether or not that is still the case.

[Pie42795]

To anyone having trouble with this move, I find it easiest to do it in one straight motion upwards. Do not throw it out and do not move your wrist. Just let go of the safe handle, pull upwards and then suddenly stop. Letting go of the safe handle and moving the bite handle back forces the safe handle to fall then suddenly stopping makes it swing back up. Took me forever of overcomplicating it to figure this out.

[manmadeshroom]

Awesome video, Thanks

[Ball4184]

How to treat a Balisong cut accident:

1. Rinse the wound.

2. Soap it.

3. Repeat step 1.

4. This seems crazy, but apply hand sanitizer to the wound when it doesn't seem to hurt as much.

[ganzofsorrow]

can't you just wear gloves?

[babiiibfd]

What kind of knife

[suckitfloop]

@babiiibfd BM42

[mado0oo0o]

Thank God I'm using a bottle opener !! Still got quite a few whacks !! But beats a real blade, I get to keep my fingers this way

[lilmanc14]

i found a trainer on amazon for like $20.00 guys(not advertising)

[islandofdoctormoreau]

dont do, when i tried a trick like this its ... well .... lets just say its really easy to drop and go through ur foot

[superW7user]

Backstab!!

[SuperHentai12]

in germany this knifes are not alowed -.-

[sporeman1331]

@SuperHentai12 they're ilegal in the us too without a license

[austinlafever112]

@sporeman1331 You can own buy them in Tennessee anywhere, you just can't carry them around

[cusinsrule]

Why are you teaching people to kill?

[Arcticpolar12]

@cusinsrule It's not to kill somebody... stupid. It's a trick people mostly use balisongs to do tricks.

[TropicalVampires]

Would these work with a butterfly trench knife?

[bigchoncho]

gentalmentalman

[ggmggmggm]

Thumbs up if you came to learn this because you love the Spy.

[TheGuyThirteen]

I skipped ahead a couple of seconds and missed it

[FreshApplePieOnXBL]

Thumbnail looks like he was about to perform hari kiri

[MrSlayer543]

are butterfly knfies like, safe, for 9 yr olds, im a 9 yr old, i play tf2 (dont worry i dont always use the mic and sound like a little stupid 4 yr old) im just wondering because i rly wanna try tricks like these (this looks simple and easy) so is it ok?

[97Kritikal]

@MrSlayer543 wait a few sonny, its not as easy as in a video game.

[igloo77881]

@MrSlayer543 not to be rude or anything dude, but i think waiting a couple more years is a good idea. cause my friend got a cut the first day he got the knife. unless of course u use a trainer in which it would be just fine

[MrSlayer543]

@igloo77881 yea i dont really want to get cut... i think it must really hurt ._.

[igloo77881]

@MrSlayer543 it dosent really hurt. it smarts slightly, and only hurts when you wash the wound the only thing i hate is how much the wound bleeds after the cut. cause ive gotten things bloody by touching them before. D:

[TheHeroEnforcer]

@MrSlayer543 Get a Bear & son trainer

[czech706]

my knife latch is on the other side of the blade so this is harder for me

[ColinTheAwesomest]

Very nice, but can it sap Sentrys?

[TheRealDJLO]

i only have trouble with this one when closing it...strange. hey CL, the latch on my Bear MGC balisong as well as the handles are all sandblasted(or otherwise finsished as to make them slightly rough) so that the latch kind of grinds against the handle, keeping it locked. how does yours stay locked, since all of the metal is smooth? thanks

[Calibros1]

That scouts a spy

[TheRealDJLO]

@Calibros1 it seems i am not the only spy

[psychopath234]

@chloegrace7 how much you get yours for?

[AfroSamuraiTheMaster]

SPY!

[xXGoNcAzXx]

i love how the top coments are vice-virsa

[thesupersmashbros4]

im in love with that knife!!!!!! :P

[1Stalker1]

Wearing gloves for safety recommended? :P

[legologan64]

Type in legologan64 and youl see a vid its a response to you and tell me if its a good latch drop

[MellowMidnight281]

RIGHT after I was watching this video, I sat up on my bed, grabbed my knife, and did this on my very first try -=] just saying

[mburch4746]

I KEEP STABBING MY HAND!!!



[jj142807]

where can i buy this type of balisong ur using in the demos?

[dru12121]

thumbs up if u want one!!!

[mvp509]

where do u get a good knife like that? or a 51 for that matter?

[Majikba]

*Ahem* Faggots?

[Crawfordnator]

So whats the trick to making it go faster? I find myself having to move my hand to catch the other handle because it doesn't come back up high or fast enough.

[K2Nemesis]

Great video, i'm going to try this trick when i get home. I just got my knife a couple days ago and have learned only the basic 3-step open/close (not sure of the proper name for it). However, my knuckles and top of my fingers are REALLY hurting (from the safe side, only took a couple little cuts). Is this to be expected? I'm not sure if I'm flipping too hard. I have a good tolerance for pain, but I don't think I can even practice today.

[CaulyAndJoeVids]

I'd love to see this guy in a knife fight :) He'd go all ninja xD

[DanTheManOfGaming]

Gentlemayonaise.

[penguinsftw7]

this is probably a dumb question, but what is with the gentlemen comments?

[TheTimeOfYourLifez]

@penguinsftw7 tf2

[AandBbrothers]

@penguinsftw7 team fortress 2

[LambdaDiamond]

@penguinsftw7 Team Fortress 2 the spy qoute.

[iElitePig]

i just gave the top 2 comments 1 like and they got to 70 and 30

[spikesar]

I bought a comb trainer off eBay it's nice too

[FlipadieFlip]

Is it a no go for a manilla style balisong? Because i have one!

[WalTxAaroN]

Is your blade taped or dulled for these demos? Just curious. I love flipping with the tape off, but my hands can't take the mistakes. Even with the latch and pocket clip on my 51, I still flip the bite handle on accident all the time

[cutlerylover]

@WalTxAaroN I dont tape my blades at all...I flip with a live blade, I even sharpen them up, the sharper it is trhe cleaner the cut and it will heal faster...its juyst the inherited danger of flipping

[TheLollinator]

@cutlerylover ur right! i have cut my fingers serval times ...dint feel a thing, i actually notice that im bleeding aftterwards

[the1stbuilder65]

@cutlerylover i know this is probably a noob question, but what is the knob/ lever thing on the "bite" handle

[chezzit100]

@the1stbuilder65 its the latch its like the locking mechinism for balisongs

[Cheeze939]

@cutlerylover Have you ever cut yourself while filming? (Just curious)

[cutlerylover]

@Cheeze939 yeah maybe 3 times I think I left it in on one videoi the other 2 I edited out, but I cut myself all the time when trying new moves

[CBForgotten]

Don't you love how all the really ood tutorial balisong people always talk about eachother. Such a tight family of friends, miles, or lightyears away. GO INTERNET!

[DaltonRay360]

good way to cut the shit out of your fingers trying to be cool

:p

[NayberHoodFilms]

HOLY SHIT! SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE GAY TEAM FORTRESS SHIT. GOD, IT'S ALL JUST A BUNCH OF FANBOYS SPENDING MONEY ON KNIVES WHICH THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT DUE TO SOME FUCKING VIDEO GAME. GO DIE IN MULTIPLE HOLES.

[jorgehombre1]

@NayberHoodFilms u mad bro?

[ZackFairsDante]

@jorgehombre1

Was going to write the same ,bro

[NayberHoodFilms]

@ZackFairsDante View my other comment you tool.

[NayberHoodFilms]

@jorgehombre1 Hahaha nah, just irritated by all these gamer kids who think that since they see something in a video game, then they must have it...

[NayberHoodFilms]

@IKilledKenny72 I wasn't yelling, as you can tell by the use of ONE exclamation mark. The capital letters were simply utilized to be easily viewable.

[IKilledKenny72]

@NayberHoodFilms You're saying that swearing multiple times and telling people to go die in all caps isn't yelling?

[NayberHoodFilms]

@IKilledKenny72 Swearing clearly does not constitute yelling, and as stated in my earlier comment, I was simply using capital letters to allow my message to stand out from the horde of pointless "Team Fortress 2" cracks.

[Puffinyat]

@NayberHoodFilms i got 3 words for you

GENTLE-FUCKING-MEN

[NayberHoodFilms]

@Puffinyat I have three words for you, as well: GET A LIFE.

[PikieLee]

@NayberHoodFilms I know allot about these knives and I also enjoy TF2. You should really be happy for all these newbies... Go on, be a GENTLEMAN.

[juschilllllin]

.nemeltneG

[Roflstompzorz]

i wonder if anyone makes practice covers. I just taped mine with electrical or packing tape while training.

[TheLifeOfTommy]

@FEARXDEVISTATION Mine hasnt come in yet. I ordered it 2 days ago and it should come in after 5-6 days. If its taking a month you should call them.

[TheLifeOfTommy]

@FEARXDEVISTATION Theyre discontinued. I know it sux right? I wanted one too. Theyre 280$ though. i got my first balisong 2 days ago and its GREAT. Its called the Regal Flipper. Search it on bladeplay . com, and the best part is, its only 20$!

[hizokuto]

gentle-mentle-men

[leightonransome]

Why does everyone keep saying "Gentlemen." Seriously, I honestly don't know.

[Elanus19]

@leightonransome Because of a Video-Game called "Team Fortress 2" (made by Valve).

[shawnkrause871]

@leightonransome I feel the same way, dude. Someone please tell us.

[Twilight2056]

@shawnkrause871 In a video-game "Team Fortress: 2" One of the classes is called the Spy. His defining feature is the ability to stab someone in the back and kill them in one hit. He uses a Butterfly Knife and the "Gentlemen" quote is from a series of humorous videos about each of the classes. In his video he walks into a room of people with a dead sniper on his back and says "Gentlemen" to introduce himself.

[agust5215]

hey you stole my knife ps. i'm the red spy

[ruskov230]

Thanks my first Balinsong trick :DDDD !

[Carry2Sky]

@Jessicavelez89 i think i've left this comment 3 time in *checks watch* 5 mins, if you want to avoid cutting yourself put thin tape over the blade

[jeffhamm]

[derekgrebner87]

Fuck you Jeff you fucking suck at life!!!!

[EpicSonicProductions]

@derekgrebner87 I think that whole thing is a typo.

Yeah, you meant to say "Thank you Jeff, you totally OWN at life!!!!".

[willsleepforZzZz]

can you do this w/o a spring latch?

[Vampghostiz]

@willsleepforZzZz Of course. I do it with the classic latch. It's just easier with the spring latch.

[arther123]

These moves will get me all da bitches...

[keiransback]

Hey bro I really want to learn how to use a butterfly knife so I was wondering if you would have a spar training one or shit one laying around and the reason I am asking is coz I live in austraila and I can't get them so yea hit me up I will pay as well???

[ConnorWilsonG]

@sawbiggestfan but of course

[M4ST3RL1NKX88]

I so wish I had a BM42. I'm 15, so I can't get a job for 1-3 years.

[GunnarTh3Azul]

Finally got the money to have both the BM51 and BM42!!!

I'll be getting the coveted 42 in a few weeks. Until then, good GOD does the 51 make it hard to latch drop. Its sooooo light weight o.o

Great tutorials man! I'm learning to be a bali-ninja now!

[TMJprodctions]

SENTRY DOWN

[l33thustla]

If new, better get a trainee.....

[TheRealExAzrael]

@l33thustla im new i got a regular one but i just put electrical tape over the point/edge :D

[69thepizzaboy]

@TheRealExAzrael Does the tape work? and does it ruin the blade if left on for awile?

[TheRealExAzrael]

@69thepizzaboy I used electrical tape. Yes it works. and no it doesnt damage the blade at all. If there is any residue just clean it off with a bit of rubbing alcohol

[bioshockfanboy]

i love your vids man ....i am getting a knife like yours...only difference i see between yours and the one im getting is my has a yellow and black handle..other that that it looks the same ^^

[dntaylor07]

[intheeyeofthebeholde]

[SmashMaterFlex]

FIRST!!!

[TFormerGuy]

that cutlerylover's a spy!

[drkpl8]

the latch drop was the first thing i learned with my balisong.

[fuedog1]

@cutlerylover where did u get your benchmade 42 balisong

[dsmanster]

@fuedog1 from Benchmade... huurrr durr

[maxhyva]

i cant do that because i haz a lego balisong XD

[DepthWave]

the down up works better if you have trouble getting momentum, but swing is easier to catch

[hampsters11]

Um using a homemade wooden one with wire for hinges

[JKTCGMV13]

I got two trainers for my birthday... I guess I have to stop only using my right hand now (I had been using a homemade wooden one)...

[FilmSnapper]

I wonder if the spy learnt HIS tricks from your videos :P

[roxasfruit]

when im 18, im getting a balisong, and a few cans a spray paint

[2beaverhay]

get a tranier there we be no blood

[Chik0r0]

Ahem...Gentlemen.

[hifatpeople]

my latch broke off when i dropped it, now it's hard to do this

[Gunmaster333]

got mine in new mexico

[zakanater1]

These are legal in Texas.

Fuck yes.

[ArrowDynamicsX]

@chelu252 Yeah, they're illegal in California.

[bballer1201]

beeeeeaaaaassssstttttt

[Budalanakub]

right behind you

[0Wezzew0]

I love the balisong, one of my favourite weapons.

Im hoping to get one sometime later in life, and practice some moves with it :)

P.S: You are very talented with it.

[davidvon1]

Nice Benchmade :)

[FluffyAnger571]

its easier to use the safe handle instead

[Pyrodog12]

@FluffyAnger571 definitely is

[1113stve]

Strangely all the highest rated comments have to do with Tf2...so...do ya sap sentries???

[ordinarysoul97]

HEY WHERE DO U BUY the BALISONG FROM ? IM IN MALAYSIA

[1113stve]

@ordinarysoul97 Malaysia? that's cool my mom's Indonesian. I'm not sure if they're legal or not, you might wanna check your laws. If they are, you can probably get them at any place that sells knives and such.

[BluelightSpike]

@ordinarysoul97

Malaysia?

IMMA FIRE MALAYSI-- Hmm...

Nah, it's not ok.
