Balisong Tutorial - Scissoring 101

[EminentInception94]

Press play and minimize the window this's in. This is the most I've laughed in a long time. xD

[MrRosaless51]

My mom says im not aloud to play with knives

[Jinxerz010792]

Scissor me timbers!

[olveden]

at 00:37 i didn't know a guy could scissor?



[TheRaspberryFlavored]

OH YEAH SCISSOR ME XERXES

[coryjr96]

Thats the exact knife I have.

[Kyloking16]

not an expert my ass.

[JustinAGerro]

I wouldn't fck with you

[666triktrak]

plz be careful with those knives, I cut mezelf a year ago with one off those knives. I do like them but you have to know how to handle them.

[James908943]

I chopped my finger off....?

[mexicanzombie69]

Aaahhhoooohhhh my FUCKEN GOD I CUT MY SELF AAAHH MY FINGERS !!! I'M FUCKEN BLEEDING ...Mom call 911 T.T

[skate96production]

thumps up if you dont learn it from this video!

[sungwei9]

@skate96production Honestly this trick can't be broken down any further than this video. It's just a matter of practice from here.

[skate96production]

@sungwei9 i know but to learn it from the video you have to watch and try to do the tricks, and to learn the full trick you got to train about 6-7 hours, so im trying easy tricks for now, anyway the trick is cool, but honestly its very hard and dangerous

[sungwei9]

@skate96production You'll get it man, but yes it is advanced.  Don't worry bout it now, it will come. Just work on basics, basic aerials. Then try this again. Scissoring took me

FOREVER to learn.

[skate96production]

@sungwei9 thnks, im shure i will learn it, but i have big problem, first im 15, but the real problem is in my knife!? i cant find original anywere, i cant buy from the net cuz i told you im 15, but i found one for 19$ on spanish mark, i will see, but you know now my bigest problem is in the knife.

[skullscooter65]

@sungwei9 is benchmade 51 a good knive to have??

[sungwei9]

@skullscooter65 I perosonally really like mine.

[PREDGUTZ97]

@skullscooter65 yes I highley reccomend the benchmade 51 i have had mine for six months and its the best balisong i own trust me you will not be dissappointed

[skullscooter65]

@PREDGUTZ97 alright thank you will get one soon

[SafeHandIe]

This is one of the first tutorials I watched and I never imagined I could do it. It looked nearly impossible back then but then again, so did a basic opening at some point.

[gmmoney12]

you say your not very good..... my ass lol

[TheScoobyRS]

How is that not cutting you when the handle slaps the blade on your finger? Curiouser cuz I had a knife like that and cut myself every time to where I had to open it with two hands and prolly need stitches on most cuts?

[sungwei9]

@TheScoobyRS It's the safe handle so the part of the blade that hits my finger is the blunt side of the blade. You can bite handle scissor as well, but you have to control the momentum of the blade and handle so it does not hit your finger or makes very gentle contact. Watch my double edge bali tutorial.

[skexee]

i thought he had scissors and he was gonna cut that piece of fabric.

[dragonbut55421]

They make it look so easy in the pornos....

[yer4436]

this helped alot ty. but i have a kimura 6 and i cant scissor that good with it but i can with my other knifes. i think its cuz im scared of it..... ( thier too sharp D: )

[sungwei9]

@yer4436 Your fear of the edge will pass in time. Flipping is all about overcoming your fear of getting cut and becoming accustomed to the edge. The Kimmies are a little cumbersome to scissor but it can be done. You have to just get the feel for it. The knife in this vid is a K1.

[yer4436]

@sungwei9 oh ok. im kinda getting it but the concept is still confusing me. maybe if u go step by step of scissoring it.

[LongRangeBullet]

Lol......scissoring..

[MJJProductions1724]

Yay same knife!

[hagios9]

we have the same bedsheets!

[sungwei9]

@hagios9 Somehow that is creepy. But thankfully those are not my bedsheets. LOL!

[asdajfbiaf]

dude ur a G

[pickledpigfeet]

ALMOST LOST YOUR NOSE AT 6:02

[jacobpf4]

what model is that and is it good? if so how much

[sungwei9]

@jacobpf4 Bradley Kimura 1. Kinda hard to find now though as they don't make them anymore. I'd say around 100 more or less in the secondary market. It is a decent knife. Not the best flipper, but very solid in construction.

[jacobpf4]

@sungwei9 k thx

[arcitektdubstep]

scissor me timbers!

[LinkFanIMasterReach]

4 people were dissapointed lesbians. thumbs up if you understand xd

[RichardIsAlive]

please tell me that's a trainer knife... yeesh that looks painful.

[sungwei9]

@RichardIsAlive Nope live blade.

[DurzzToxin]

Scissoring 101? Let's think about this title for a second…

[FilipKid]

the butterfly knife i got was made in the 80's and my blade is fucking huge 8 inch

[sungwei9]

@FilipKid I would love to see that get scissored! Vid!

[FilipKid]

wtf @sungwei9 

[tbear116]

this is scissoring? they do this was differently in pornos...

[Braeden123698745]

IS that a sharp knife?

[sungwei9]

@Braeden123698745 Very.

[Braeden123698745]

@sungwei9 Whow skills

[azn6190]

Dat bed sheet.

[jason200912]

i searched scissoring and got a whole buncha porn

[ShadowAssassin887]

@jason200912 LOL

[DanielGClapp]

are you asian ??? cuz you have a deep voice if you are. Nice tutorial !!!

[GamesThatPlay]

Scissoring Leads To Cutting

[ajmoss55]

i was able to do this with the bradley kimura (a heavy knife) but im having alot of difficulties doing this with the 51 morpho. Any suggestions?

[sungwei9]

@ajmoss55 The Morpho has less handle to catch and also it's light and a little unbalanced. So its normal to have a harder time. REally it is just getting used to it.  One thing to try is to throw it from a littler further away from the pivots. Gives the knife a little more momentum. Try it out and let me know.

[ajmoss55]

i was able to do this with the bradley kimura (a heavy knife) but im having alot of difficulties doing this with the 51 morpho. Any suggestions?

[IamJustBrett]

I think that etard1990 didn't understand that you were showing us how to do the aerial and how to catch it, not the twirling.

[sungwei9]

@IamJustBrett It's OK, getting haters is a sure sign of youtube success!

[MrBoomtnt]

finally got both way down, great tutorial, thank you so much

[sungwei9]

@MrBoomtnt Great man! I think it's best to have both ways to add variety and flexibility in routines.

[rsinall93]

ugh!!! lol i got the scissoring part but jesus i cant keep it going after the aerial

[poketrainer234]

Scissor me timbers

[etard1990]

slow the fuck down

[sungwei9]

@etard1990 Dang man didn't you see all the slow mo's?

[MrNecrokiller]

lol lesbians like to scissor

[RDS5284]

I cant scissor to save my life!

[sungwei9]

@RDS5284 You'll get it, it's just practice. Once you get it you'll always be able to do it.

[saltycupcakes]

Lol now those of those who don't know.... Lol I was thinking lesbo sex the whole time

[arpatt77]

@sungwei9 Notice how I catch with my index finger and not my index and middle. It took me a while to get that, but it makes all the difference. you can see it best on the left hand catch at 0:08.

[ironlungdtoker]

i thought scissoring was when 2 girl rubd there pussys together

[yttihp11]

what balisong would you recommend as a first one? im new and have been practicing with a blunt one, i think im now ready to move on, any suggestions?

[sungwei9]

@yttihp11 You may like the Kimura. They just came out with the K7, check it out, looks nice, under $100

[Cestdesconneries]

. . . I was thinking something completely different at first. . . My brother walks in the room and says " TJ!! I FOUND OUT WHAT SISSORING IS!!! " . . .

[NadoSecretAsianMan]

1 person cut themselves watching this :D

[sniperops101]

okay, im still relitivly new to Balisongs, but how do u keep twirling it between all your fingers? cause when i try, the handles keep slipping?

[sungwei9]

@sniperops101 Watch cutlerlylovers tutorial on teh full twirl, he explains it well, that's where I learned. I had the slipping problem too, and that goes away once your fingers get stronger and you do the move smoother.

[sniperops101]

@sungwei9  thanks

[SaintAffliction]

It wont let me put a link, and idk if the vid response worked, but if ya wanna check it out real quick, just go to my page and watch "scissor juggling" it is only 15 secs long, no sound, because Im lazy.

[sungwei9]

@SaintAffliction I just approved it so should be up.

[SaintAffliction]

@sungwei9 : Sorry it took so long to upload, its not a tuto, but this is how I scissor, the juggling part is a work in progress, but Im getting it down, and it looks sexy! =D I added it as a video response.

[bigbiz1987]

yea man i hear ya i actually got the catch between my middle and ring down later on in the day yesterday...i wanted to get both ways down instead of jus knowin the pointer and middle catch..thx for the reply keep makin videos

[sungwei9]

@bigbiz1987 I find a scissor routine looks better when you catch

it both ways. Just my opinion. I like to very between the two. Not

many people do that, so it's just kinda my style.

[bigbiz1987]

i cant get the catch between my middle and ring figer it feels so awkward catching it there. i feel it naturally falls between my pointer and middle still in the palm down catch the other one palm up i got down but im still workin on the other...any tips that helped you?

[sungwei9]

@bigbiz1987 Gotta work with what feels most natural with you. Variations

then come with time. Palm up is what most people are most comfortable

with between index and middle. Stick with that for now and work on turning

your wrist very fast.

[BalisongZealot]

*sigh* still can't scissor if my life depended on it

[SaintAffliction]

Different things work for different people, I will try to post a video soon, note that my camera sucks, but let me know what you think and try it out, ill link it in comments when its up.

[sungwei9]

@SaintAffliction Indeed. I think multiple explainations

on scissoring is not a bad idea. Lemme know when

you finish the vid. Slash has a good tutorial on it. Much

simpler than mine. Mine is more of a break down.

[SaintAffliction]

@sungwei9 Will do, Once you get them down nice and pretty, you feel like a god, its great! =D

[SaintAffliction]

That was made far more complex than it needed to be. Not bad, but way more complicated than scissors need to be.

[sungwei9]

@SaintAffliction How else can you explain it? It's kind of tough

to explain how to do.

[SaintAffliction]

@sungwei9 It is tough to explain, but the way I do them is to start with a vertical Y2k, catch the safe handle between my middle and ring fingers, throw the bite handle over my middle and catch the safe handle between my index and middle, throw it over my index and do 2-3 chaplins, ricochet back and catch the safe between middle and ring, throw the knife forward and hold the safe with my ring and thumb, throw it up in the air from there and catch it on my index and then grab with my middle.

[blfry]

Thanks for the vid! Haven't got this move down yet, but thanks to this I believe I at least have a basic understanding now. :)

[sungwei9]

@blfry

Take your time with it, I'm sure you'll get it.

[SmartFool24]

Great tutorial. I still have to work on the consistency of my aerials before I move on to this :p but this will definitely help.

[hinataVSneji]

Bradley Kimura? Very nice.

[sungwei9]

@hinataVSneji

The Kimura II is nicer :)

[hinataVSneji]

I have yet to handle the Kimura II, but I don't much like the look of it :(

But knowing Bradley, I'm sure it handles very well.

[TakeItEazy3]

how is the kimura II btw?

I have the first one.

[sungwei9]

@TakeItEazy3

I like it a lot. I still flip it. I like the 2 better.

[TakeItEazy3]

Nice, im thinking about picking it up. not sure just yet.

tks for replyin :)

[Nardath]

Man this vid is a great tut. never really understood scissoring before this, thanks !

[sungwei9]

@Nardath

Thanks, I'm sure you will learn fast seeing how

you flip.

[balisongman07]

good to see a tut about it, when i started doin it, it was too natural to catch it open or closed lol.

[Sk8brdr323]

nice dude I need to do more scissoring in my videos lol

[sungwei9]

Oh you're the one with the famous Szabofly vid.

You made me want to get one. I suck at flipping

it though lol! Hey make a scissoring video with

the Szabo! That'd be awesome!

[Sk8brdr323]

I think scissoring the szabo would be a bad idea, but I'll look into it lol

[SYSPrison]

I can kind of scissor with the szabo..There is NO way to do charliechaplins though...Im kind of depressed..I like the szabo more than the benchmade, but can't do all the same leet tricks...lol.

[sungwei9]

I can chaplin, but yes it's a lot harder. It's

not with the same speed and fluidity as

the 42 or Kimura. I've scissored once with

the Szabo and it's tough and scary cause

that thing cuts like nothing.

[SYSPrison]

oh really? damn...Could you throw up a vid about charlie chaplin szabo-ing? If I could nail that, I probably wouldn't use my bm42 as much...

[sungwei9]

Sure, I'll try to get it on video. Tough to explain

but I'll do my best.

[SYSPrison]

Oh hey thanks. If I see it I might be able to pick it up..Thats pretty much how I learn most things with my bali...that and making mistakes.. :p

[looseyfur74]

scissoring is the y2k of the next generation of flippers.

good tuto dude.

RESPECT-

Loosey

[theblasto]

Well said.

[lamby1639dj]

Thank you very much for making this tutorial. I think i understand scissoring now! I'll let you know if im able to learn it ( somewhat ) throughout today.

This is Darek from BF.
