@Amberscion I never ever tape my blades,Even when I started flipping I never taped my blade,what's the point of taping your blade if your afraid of cuts then you into the wrong hobby!
Take your time learn the movements and where you blade is at all times GO SLOW it took me a year to get some moves down and becareful!
@agnus9 Thank you It took me very long to be able to get the fingers rolls down, the ring finger to pinky was so hard for me since I had very little finger strength and dexterity in those fingers.
Unfortunately I have been unable to get my hands on a Bradley Mayhem but it is a very beautiful knife But I am sure there would be some balance issues for flipping from the light handles but nothing that practice will not over come
@incubis i had to double check b4 i commented, but ive been watching every available video to further my skills...such a fun thing to do in spare time
Depends on where you live. Check your local laws if you want to get a real balisong. HOWEVER, if you live in an area that they're illegal in, you can still own a trainer which is a balisong with a blunt blade. You may be able to track down Benchmade's old trainer which is the best, but discontinued. A few other companies make them, but you may have to mod them to make up for minor issues like not having spring latches or a latch stop, etc. Usually a couple O-rings get the job done nicely.
You can purchase butterfly knives with weighted plastics in some places.. Because they aren't common and mass produced, they are often more expensive than the real thing... They're great for practice especially for experienced tricks, less likely to gash your palm..
@Veyrall there are various trainers (I hear the bear & sons trainer is pretty decent for a cheap one) as well as various novelty ones that aren't sharp (like a usb, a key blank, a pen, a comb, and a bottle opener)
@Veyrall There are practice knives out there that you can use -- ThinkGeek also sells a pen version if you want to still have something that has utility (Though it's lighter, your balance will be off), and you can always cover the blade with heavy tape to avoid cutting yourself.
Btw, anybody know where to get a high-quality Balisong? Ever since the shipment of Balisong knives was banned in the U.S., there's only cheap knock-offs that break.
Since when are Balisongs banned in the US? As far as I know they're illegal to CARRY in most states, but I've never heard of them being illegal to own.
I said shipment of Balisong knives in the U.S. are banned. I'm not to sure about selling them, but most places don't sell these kinds of knives. In swapmeets, they sell Balisongs with the quality of shit.
Heartbreak. there are a ton of sites that sell quality balisongs. check out the benchmade balisongs. bradley cutlery has a couple good ones like the kimura. spyderco has some good ones.
ha, this was the first song i ever heard by camp kill yourself. wow, brings back good (some bad) memories. but good video man you should join the laddermatch competitions.
you're awesome man. i try to practice but my parents dont know i have a balisong, they found one and threw it out but i still have one more. so i dont get much chance to practice cuz it squeaks a lot. haha
Uterlly amazing! Sucks though, because I'm in Canada, where any knife that opens using centrefugal, spring or gravitaional force is illegal. Leaves no room for loop holes, but if you know of one tell me. How long did it take you to learn to do that, and where?
damn bro. that was crazy. i have a double edged knife. i tried a windmill once. sliced my finger and had to go get stitches.. haha i havent tried anything since then.. keep it up.
