Very nice videos, I really appreciate the way you speak because its very clear and understandable, especially for those who are not english/american like me !
@cutlerylover I dunno about that man, everything I am reading says that butterfly (or Balisong) knives are considered prohibited weapons in Canada. doesn't say anything about exceptions for size or where you take it around.
Hey Jeff! i gotta say man, you have inspired me to get into knives and such just like so many other people. Thank you. ever since the first balisong video, i got hooked and now its to the point where my balisong feels like a third hand. thank you so much for interesting me in hobbies eventhough it was intentional xD. btw it would really mean a lot if you saw my new knife video! i responded twice on accident, i have the video on 2 accounts but i meant to send it from the second one
I think it's also useful to note that the quality of the balisong is important. It's not that an expensive balisong will instantly make you a better flipper, but cheap balisongs loosen up very easily and their weight changes as a result. They also break very easily and discourage new flippers. Having a solid balisong that has consistent weight and lasts a long time can help gain proficiency which only comes with long-term flipping.
dont be a piece of shit, if your going to do something...NEVER half ass it, put your all into anything you do, dont be a quiter at any hobby, it might get boring but once you get good at it then you can be the first of your friends todo that certain hobby
@cutlerylover hey jeff i am just asking if i could re-upload the ''when are we going to see more balisong videos'' video just with diffrent music? plz respond
I really want a real balisong :( They are illeagal here in Norway :( The closest thing to a balisong that is leagal here in Norway is a balisong with a comb in stead of a blade lol. I bought one about a month ago and it broke the day i got it so i emailed them and they said i would have to send it in to the store and then they was going to send a new one. They still havent sendt it :/
@kaizerij Don't cut off your nuts man. Do not fear your knife if you do you will never learn. I cut my knuckle very deep and took 3 months to heal. So be careful
I've had a Bradley Kimura VII for a while now, and it seems to be really heavy. The clicking sound isn't as satisfying as your benchmade, and my sweaty hands slip from the metal grip sometimes. Should I upgrade to a benchmade morpho? It seems really tricky to flip. I need some advice Jeff :)
Jeff inspired so many people to start flipping. One of the OGs of the flipping world. He's the one who got me into balis. Today I own my own balisong company and bleed daily. <-- This is actually a true story.
Great video. Brought back memories. My high school knife was a butterfly knife. Not the quality of benchmade, but it was OK. I got good opening it very quickly and it saved my ass twice. Never got as good as you are and at 62 will never get there. But it ws sure fun watching the video.
@kaizerij But that's the point. You have to get over that fear, and until you do it's always going to scare you. If you never want to move away from a trainer or a taped blade, then sure, have fun, but if you want to be able to do it with confidence with a real, sharp blade, then you cannot be scared of it. Practicing with the sharp blade and learning how to avoid it gives you that confidence.
Err, I'm in a debate mood lol. Damn religious videos. :D
@iXaos7 once you get ur technique down u can move onto a sharp one for show, but using it in practice esp in the beginnign is like mma fighters punching and kneeing each other in the face full force no gear in sparring.. injury for no reason when you can use a non cutting blade to get ur tech down..
@DoomsdayKillz I was just stating what helped me in my own experiences when I first started. Using a safe blade didn't help me because as soon as I went to a live blade, everything I learned was useless because I would freeze up due to being scared of getting cut. The only way I could get any better was to use a live blade and just get used to the fact that if I screw up, I'll be cut. My fear went away with a little time, and I got better as I went. It may differ for others.
@kaizerij I don't like that because the fear is right back when you go back to the live blade. I find it much better to just get used to the live blade first as it's faster and you don't have to get over the fear of doing the same motion twice.
Just my opinion I guess, but taped blades never worked with me. I took my cuts and learned from what I did wrong.
Jeff, ya make some good points and tips! I would like to see you do some more rollovers and stuff though! By the way Im gonna post a video response for people who want to see some more awesome flippers.
@kaizerij Throw the knife and just get the spin right, don't try to grab it. Do it over a bed or something to avoid hurting your kinife. Then when you see where, try to grab it. When I first started, I was catching it with my eyes closed (bad idea but whatever). When you get used to it, then you don't even fear being cut anymore. Yes, you will probably get cut while practicing it, but that's part of throwing a knife in the air.
Actually Jeff, I would advise against flipping a balisong while watching TV and I speak from experience here. I got myself a nasty cut that way. I was flipping while watching TV and my mind wandered to the point where I wasn't consciously aware of the knife, so when I eventually fumbled it, I instinctively grabbed it instead of letting if fall. Naturally, I grabbed the blade and a bloody mess ensued. Practice, yes, but remember the knife, always.
@NewFormofSilence I flip it while watchin' movies 'n whatnot all the time. It's just muscle memory for me. I have problems sitting still doing nothing, so it helps a lot.
I'll admit it I subbed for the bali videos and I don't really watch much else (I do flip on other of your vids from time to time) but I'm not gonna unsub cause you rarely do them anymore, you are a real ass dude better than Ray William retardedface anyway.
hmmm hey anyone out there Im considering buying the best 25 dollar balisong out there vvhich I hear is great for training, but I vvant the great looking 15 buck one too and if I take the 15 dollar one I could also buy a trainer I can make a key out of or a trainer vvith a bottle opener.
someone help me decide 1 good knife vs 1 very cool knife and a trainer,
@cutlerylover -Jeff I compleatly understand bout the wait I am a avid balisong hobbist and I also will put it down for weeks/days at a time!a month I dnt think I could do though!but 2 be honest I put down mainly 2 let the cuts heal. LOL. But thats practice 4 ya!
"you have to have confidence, or else you WILL get cut" hahaha so damn true, i remember trying to learn to scissor early on, and i cut myself pretty bad, now i'm always nervous at trying (even though i can do same level/ 'harder' tricks) and i always fail lol, best knife flipper ever i believe to be judgemodollar / slash'n'cut..... the guy is a fucking GOD
"it's a lot more fun when you're good at it." That's so true. I used to have to focus on every move so much, but now it's like second nature to belt out some sweet routine. It flows better and it's actually very relaxing. Good vid man.
@kaizerij you start off with the easy, thats the point of the video, aerials in general are not easy so you dont start there...but I have videos to help you with them
@cutlerylover Hey Jeff, I was wondering if you know anywhere to buy a balisong with a plastic or wooden blade? Here in Denmark they're illegal, even with a dull blade, when it's over 7 cm's (2,75'') Love your videos!
It's hard to type a comment on Jeff's channel, after a balisong video, with one finger left ... good thing I saw it coming and I took a bag of ice with me to store my finger tips.
Great video Jeff, I would give it a thumb up if I had one left lol, im just typing with my right index finger so I cant ... sorry.
@Nuchuga De-sharpening? If you want to make a sharp bali safe, use some electrical tape over the blade, or some other tape that will hold. I've always had great results with that. Watch out for the tip of the blade though.
i understand about the whole not picking one up for a while and i like how you described the the whole balisongs are like those medicine balls cuz thts exactly how i try to describe to my passion for the balisong to people i also like how you teach its out side the box one of the big reasons i subscribed to you almost three years ago also enjoy all of your other videos great job love ur vids dude keep goin
@coreyt008 its a leather strop, used for sharpening knives to a really fine edge, barbers traditionally used them for their straight razors to get them shaving sharp
for the suicide drop, try moving your index and thumb higher up the closed balisong when you start, it helped me get it alil better, and its also alot easier to do
you wanna learn to flip buy a cheaper knife and full the blade enough where it wont cut you but you can still tell its a real blade so you wont hurt yourself much if it hits you but you will still be careful enough because its a live blade
@ohnevergoingtoquit then you get really good with it and switch to a sharp one and make confetti out of your hand, lol...trainers are onyl good for so long Ill make a new video about this soon
@designator99 sharp blade, you cna get into aerials with a trainer but then never really fear gettign vut once you swtivh you will hestitate to do the same moves then mess up
I've had my Benchmade 32 Morpho for about 4 years now and have loved every minute of playing with it. I do exactly what you said in your video, I will sit and watch a movie and flip the entire time
@exonusgod hey my beggining knife is a jaguar classic its good for me because its heavy and it helped me out with some airials.....(dont think i spelled that right) besides that it has not broke but just a little shaky hope this helped
Personally, I've found that confidence is one of the most important things for learning how to flip, especially once someone wants to start to get into the riskier moves involving a temporary release of the handles eg. Y2K rollover.
What's your opinion on heavier balisongs? I only have access to steel balisongs and it is fairly difficult to flip quickly. Am I doomed to flip it slowly? Most people ive seen on youtube flip titanium on composite balisongs, so its hard to tell if its just me.
@fartx211 its cool. i flip with a stainless steel bradley kimura V it weighs quite alot. But its mainly getting the muscle build up of the fingers, and the momentum in later moves.
@fartx211 no in fact when you convert over you will flip alot faster heavy balis are great for rollovers and moves where you need momentum, but the ricochets chew up your digits...
I will forgive you for your disappointing camera angle at the end if you make a helix tutorial, going to an arial. I can do y2k in my sleep, but I can't transition underhand. Thanks!
I can juggle, same thing. ya gotta practice the same thing over and over and over. Small tricks lead into learning bigger and more advanced tricks. And yeah, juggling is dangerous.. lol. balls hurt... even more knives.
Try getting a bradley kimura balisong. If you can't choose which kimura you should get, just get the one that looks the best; they all perform the same. Bradley kimuras are well known for being low-priced but very well made balisongs.
Building on the repetition speech: "A good flipper practices til he gets it right, a great flipper practices til he can't get it wrong." Somebody told me that, but I don't remember who.
Balisongs are really fun i love using them but the one i have is really cheap and falling apart so i dont use it as often as i would like to. I been searching for a nice new one, I want one with a spring latch but for the life of me I can NOT fine one. If anyone can suggest any that are less then 150$ or maybe 200$ i would appreciate it.
Benchmade 51 is probably your best bet; it is the exact same one Jeff is using in this video. It has a new generation spring latch, D2 steel blade (quality metal), and G10 handles with anodized titanium scales (quality handles). If you search around you can get one new for about $170-200 probably.
Fantastic video mate, and I'm not even a balisong guy, I just think you did a great job, as usual, at entertaining while informing and educating, and I think it was good of you to throw a video out to all the balisong guys who comment, you're very "in touch" and reactive, cool stuff :)

@coreyt008 its a leather strop, used for sharpening knives to a really fine edge, barbers traditionally used them for their straight razors to get them shaving sharp

for the suicide drop, try moving your index and thumb higher up the closed balisong when you start, it helped me get it alil better, and its also alot easier to do

you wanna learn to flip buy a cheaper knife and full the blade enough where it wont cut you but you can still tell its a real blade so you wont hurt yourself much if it hits you but you will still be careful enough because its a live blade

If you seriously want to get into flipping and dont want to spend 200 bucks, get a Bradley Kimura, or Bear Ops b200.

Personally, I've found that confidence is one of the most important things for learning how to flip, especially once someone wants to start to get into the riskier moves involving a temporary release of the handles eg. Y2K rollover.
What's your opinion on heavier balisongs? I only have access to steel balisongs and it is fairly difficult to flip quickly. Am I doomed to flip it slowly? Most people ive seen on youtube flip titanium on composite balisongs, so its hard to tell if its just me.
fartx211 2 months ago
@fartx211 its cool. i flip with a stainless steel bradley kimura V it weighs quite alot. But its mainly getting the muscle build up of the fingers, and the momentum in later moves.
igloo77881 2 months ago
@fartx211 no in fact when you convert over you will flip alot faster heavy balis are great for rollovers and moves where you need momentum, but the ricochets chew up your digits...

I will forgive you for your disappointing camera angle at the end if you make a helix tutorial, going to an arial. I can do y2k in my sleep, but I can't transition underhand. Thanks!

I can juggle, same thing. ya gotta practice the same thing over and over and over. Small tricks lead into learning bigger and more advanced tricks. And yeah, juggling is dangerous.. lol. balls hurt... even more knives.

@lostcoz99
Try getting a bradley kimura balisong. If you can't choose which kimura you should get, just get the one that looks the best; they all perform the same. Bradley kimuras are well known for being low-priced but very well made balisongs.

Building on the repetition speech: "A good flipper practices til he gets it right, a great flipper practices til he can't get it wrong." Somebody told me that, but I don't remember who.

Jeff you are right. I play drums and practice a single beat for hours until I can play it fast and do it without thinking.

Balisongs are really fun i love using them but the one i have is really cheap and falling apart so i dont use it as often as i would like to. I been searching for a nice new one, I want one with a spring latch but for the life of me I can NOT fine one. If anyone can suggest any that are less then 150$ or maybe 200$ i would appreciate it.

@omgJellyFish
Benchmade 51 is probably your best bet; it is the exact same one Jeff is using in this video. It has a new generation spring latch, D2 steel blade (quality metal), and G10 handles with anodized titanium scales (quality handles). If you search around you can get one new for about $170-200 probably.

Fantastic video mate, and I'm not even a balisong guy, I just think you did a great job, as usual, at entertaining while informing and educating, and I think it was good of you to throw a video out to all the balisong guys who comment, you're very "in touch" and reactive, cool stuff :)
