[COD5252]

anything difficult in a streetfight and you'll be dead

[hamboneeddie]

@COD5252 using a knife in a street fight you'll be a pussy

[COD5252]

[10ftofjamie]

[nnmacameraman92]

[myspanishvidz]

benananana subscribed

[squatpuke]

I'm confused...so the last one you did, the "outter"...seems like a horizontal opening...no?

[TheLazza101]

Aw shit I'm left handed!

[BUCYTHESQUIRREL]

@TheLazza101

i'm right-handed now

[10fingerlimit]

can u demonstrate the move at the start of your videos please, so that i know what im learning and what it's suppose to look like before i attempt it? thanks

[jacobpf4]

@fonionionium morphodite?

[seydex]

gracias memo

[gtayesmangangster]

Where did you get that benchmade

[The2Coolest2]

It seems I'm not the only spy...

[kokolokokiker]

ihave ben looking your tutorials allot lately it help alot with your step by step teaching thank you i will practice a litle longer and hopefully send you some cool videos^^

[f8talh8red]

what is the point of these knives? if somoen pulled one of these on me and started doing this crap, ide start laughing an walk away.

[Wanderer2266]

@f8talh8red and then they'd walk up behind you and backstab your ass to get 125 hp

[f8talh8red]

@Wanderer2266

yup, im sure they would.

[videogamefreak987]

Which type of trainer should i get

[MinecraftDudester]

@videogamefreak987 I got a trainer and it is really good quality. search "balisong trainer" in amazon and the first item to come up should be Practice Balisong Butterfly Knife Black by Ronin Gear. It is a really good value for just 16.99.

[superjoe1666]

@videogamefreak987 prob the bear and son balisong on ebay for 34 bucks

[OmegaTheAngel]

where can i buy one of these knives

[greatdjlucario]

i finally got my first balisong knife and im like a little kid in a candy store its amazing

[KrzyUnit]

Sigh. I can't get the outside twirl one.

[CombatKyle]

hey after playing w/ my bear 114b bali for 20 min i noticed the bite handle is bent up on a very slight angle when the blade is out, this is my first bali and i dont know if i bent it or if it is like that originally.  any input is greatly appreciated. dont want to know i just bent my bali in 20 min -_-

[RomanNumural9]

read a few comments there seems to be a bit of confusion on canadas laws. You cannot own a balisong as long as its considered a knife (trainers are bars of metal therefore not a knife) as long as a knife can be opened by gravity or a spring its illegal. thats about it. btw nice vid getting my trainer in a few weeks these tutorials will help alot!!

[shartingninja]

You dont need to go up down up you can just go up and catch it :D

[F0rsak3n22]

@shartingninja thats the fast draw, but basic horizontal is up down up

[MySilentAss]

Whats this knife called again?

[jtb1296]

@MySilentAss Butterfly knife

[MySilentAss]

@jtb1296 HOLY SHIT you're an idiot. i meant the version of this BALLISONG. and i know now its the benchmade model42. jesus you're a nubcake

[jtb1296]

@MySilentAss Heh "nubcake". My bad dude I thought you meant what type of knife.

[MySilentAss]

@jtb1296 sorry for overreacting like that man. no hard feelings here. take care

[TheGodKefka]

@MySilentAss Benchmade 42. One of the better balisongs, which, unfortunately, is no longer being made.

[aFlyingGuru]

Gentlemen.

[TwinshotProductions]

wat knife is that

[danimatortae]

@TwinshotProductions Balison, aka. Butterfly Knife... the Benchmade 42nd model

[theninjaofhell]

@danimatortae Balisong*

[Delroxorz]

strange. The third move you did is the easiest one I've picked up. I would've figured horizontal opening was the easiest, but this one just sort of flows into my hand.

[mgnl7]

Somehow i crushed the nail on my index finger trying to do this, there's blood on my balisong now :(

[WelshBalisong]

@mgnl7 lol dw ul get it sooner or later its not that hard

[Dubandbud512]

sick bro just ordered one of these bad boys

[RunningBearButt]

your bm-42 is so sexy

[jellyfshes]

TF2!!

[nubbytubbys]

are there attributes I should look for when buying a good balisong/butterfly blade for spinning?

[mrcrazybadaze]

its hard to type this comment kuz my hands are covered in cuts but i love the vids.

[MrJoris97]

you know i have like 20 balisongs but i cant do any of these moves:(

[krisx15]

anyone know where in canada i can score one of these toys?

....besides the trunk of some guys car..

[pkermage55]

@krisx15 If you think it is a toy your best not getting one.

[AustinJ57]

Excellent video for a beginner like myself. Well done and thanks for the help.

[Righteouswarior]

Nice

[Ignitednation]

Thanks for making this vid because I recenty baught a butterfly knife and needed some help with opening it with out the handles hitting my fingers.

[huntinthezodiac]

Man that looks so badass .. if I saw someone coming after me doing that shit I would start running

[SuperOxocube]

@huntinthezodiac if any was coming at you with a knife you would run lol

[EpicSonicProductions]

Show whoever designed the Spy's opening/closing knife animation this video.

He/she needs to see it.

[cutlerylover]

@fonionionium take it like a man or dump the tranny, hehe

[LeanL1keACholo]

@cutlerylover Some of the funniest shit ive ever heard 

[BrennaKirkjur]

The arm is a spy

[TheRUSSIANRICAN]

come and learn with theRUSIANRICAN

[Supermassively]

I wish these little video game kiddies would stop spamming stupid Team Fortress memes. They're almost as annoying as the CoD/airsoft kiddies who come on gun videos and act like they know anything about real guns because they played a video game.

[hitgirl43]

that is too easy

[Badjinn]

When I do these moves the handle hits my hand/fingers and it starts to hurt after a while. Is that normal or are do you have any tips for me to prevent this?

[volkano985]

@Badjinn try doing your moves slower or with less force

[Pyrokid243]

i just got my first balisong today, and i already know a trick thanks to you. youre the best dude

[AkuYokai]

SPAH 'ROUND HERE...

[ClatonBaxter]

Hi,

What brand of knife do you have or prefer? I have been thinking about getting one and was wondering what you would suggest. Thanks

[tinytuc123]

if you hold it from the bite handle won't it come in your hand with the blade away from you?

[SakuraYuriBara]

Ever since I got my first balisong CV has been my goto open...decided it was time to learn others so came on here and found these vids...something I wanna add: yeah cutting is low worry especially if you do this open safe handle wise...but as i do it bite handle wise I've learned that worse than both stabbing and cutting is getting hit by serrations...it's like 5 stabs all at once when it does happen...

[stickmakerman]

this is the first one i learned, thanks to you C:

Ey, thanks. -Demoman

[jamacphee]

how can i get one in canada....?

[L2QSclan]

@jamacphee illegally i'm guessing.

[infinite11823]

Just ordered Kimura II, can not wait till it comes in. Thanks for your review on the Kimura, you helped me make the decision on ordering it.  Maybe later I will order a benchmade when I feel like blowing 200 dollars.

[ItsLukeTime]

engineer is filming

[kylefrancoeur1]

can u do some beginners moves

[thesuperbadsquirrel]

it keeps hitting my fucking nuckle!!!

[aTellerOfTruths]

In Commiefornia, these knives are illegal. Not because they're actually more dangerous than any other, but because the STUPID government *feels* that the opening routines are intimidating. And in Commiefornia, if a person *feels* intimidated (even an unreasonable person), that is enough to constitute a serious threat.

[ClaytonStaples]

I'm not sure if this is a different move, but I do the third version that you did modified. There's 3 base motions. The first one is throwing it out, and the second is where the swedge comes to hit my mid-finger, and I swing it back up.

[JoshMitch7]

I just wanted to say great videos and could you teach or show a little something on how to do that one move called "fast drop" that would be cool and thanks again

[curlz2010]

Very nice video. Liked the little, " enjoy your day" at the end. Lol

[Cdubzhappy]

lol i can't do it :(

[ayomama69]

what knid of knife is that

[randomrold]

@ayomama69 i dont know maybe the word "Balisong"' would help

[EOlolzzz]

Well this was the most helpful video i'vefound so far, so thanks

[mrgeeksucks]

dude doesnt ur hand get cut

[baicatchTV]

buterfly knfe

[nicknackpattywack000]

R balisongs illegal in maryland to own inside your house? And great video!

[DaKiller0208]

@cutlerylover Are these illegal in Australia?

[viniv20]

they always say better to get cut with a razor sharp knife than getting cut with a not so sharp or dull knife , and that's true , i rather get a clean easy to seal cut than a ripped open kinda cut !

[GodHatesEmoz]

got any moves where you end up holding the blade upside down i just got a butterfly knife and i wanna beocme a master lol

[Twisted4000]

@GodHatesEmoz - Ice Pick Spin is one...

[RKillerWTF]

I watch this because hit girl (kick ass movie) is so cool :D

[SitboyKelowna]

@RKillerWTF faggot..

[ActiveSkatr]

Epiphany it's probably a CCC because it becomes loose later when u use it a lot and one of the handles will break

[x14Epiphany14x]

so i got this butterfly knife for xmas and it was nicer then the ones i seen at this little asian shop. but after a full day and a half of use i can already do y2k and all that its its like very wiggly and loose! Is this normal or is this just a cheap butterfly knife? Also where can i order a good one like yours! thx

[grayskull56]

today i was being stupid and cut myself three times, twice on the same finger, because i held itfrom the wrong handle

[nastasha94]

would handling the balisong be different if the safe handle was the handle with the latch on it? or does it not matter what handle the latch is on??

[illegalwaffles]

red spy would be proud

[koorieboys]

areee balisongs's the same as butterfly knives?

[Shocker56491]

где такой можно купить

[hahahavictorsmile]

am i thinking right if i say this: First u go up, and then if u have too much force when going down u'll cut the top of ur fingers right ? :P

[EekADemon]

@hahahavictorsmile Nosiree, it's a single-sided blade and the "safe handle" mentioned in the video is safe because no matter which way you swing, you can only be hit by the other handle or the back of the blade.

[Roflusaurus]

ur camera....it givin meh headaches rofl XD

[FoldupPKers]

My safehandle is the handle with the latch. is that bad or anything?

[theTROOPER1945]

on mine, the safe side is the side with the latch.

[chillincruisin]

my fingers are pretty beat up from the heavy handle hitting my knuckles.  Is this normal? will i get used to it? or is my balisong just crap?

[baioken]

where is the part where I stab the motherfucker?

[SergeSniper]

a question: it's the same move as the basic horizontal but different position?

[aeroshady12]

you kinda sound like woodysgamertag if u know him

[Ironstringz]

The irony in this video is that if you're watching this, you probably dont have a model 42.

[jmonsta99]

OMG theres blood every wer

[ynewbee]

i jus boufgt a fake one today that looks jus like that one and i wann get it

[turdmuffin101]

What knife is that?

Company?

Model?

[turdmuffin101]

What knife is that?

Company?

MOdel?

[accountmaniac]

Ow my pinky!!! D:

[maiconmzp]

This is #cool

[commentcriticizer]

I just started practicing with my balisong today and my knuckles hurt. I guess you get used to it

[eamoneamoneamon]

2 questions. What model are you using and why do i see this same one all over youtube?

[ripeddeie]

@eamoneamoneamon he uses a benchmade model 42 balisong.you see thexame model all over becuase alot of people consider it the best balisong aside from the price range of 180+ dollars

[eamoneamoneamon]

@ripeddeie what would you sugest for a beginer? my friend is selling me one for 20 dollars he sais its good but i cant take his word for it and i just want something to learn the basics for now, i will get a diffrent one when i get better

[ripeddeie]

@eamoneamoneamon im not exactly the person to ask on the subject,you could try sending cutlerylover a message me might reply if youre lucky

[EIectroMagneticPulse]

@eamoneamoneamon buy benchmade its good and worthed.

[64meatpuppets]

How much did you pay for your knife?

[theJAZOSH]

@64meatpuppets 280$

[robinget7]

RED SPY IN THE BASE!!!!!

[thesuperbadsquirrel]

@robinget7 gentlemen, this is not a crysis.

[JoesMonkeyLand]

[robinget7]

[rogman1000]

@robinget7 Whats a red spy? and a blue spy? why do i keep seeing all of these spy comments in butterfly knife videos? someone plz explain

[robinget7]

@rogman1000 from team fortess 2 a videogame. the red and blue spy use balisongs as a weapon

[rogman1000]

@robinget7 thanks i might look into that game

[robinget7]

@rogman1000 yeah its actually really fun.

[pkermage55]

@robinget7 WE NEED TO PROTECT THE BRIEFCASE!!!

[robinget7]

[fuge805]

[predator9x9]

I was just wondering are they illegal in PA please write back because i dont want to buy one until i know its legal

[NP0970]

@predator9x9 he lives in PA :3

[tobi14k]

whats the balisong in the video called? / or were did you buy it?

[googyahoo123]

mentlegen

[Draxis32]

This guy is a great teacher wow!

[panda4panda]

Can you please send me a balisong??! I don't have any money for one, and I know this sounds very noob of me, BUT i really want one and it would be awsome if you sent me one =P

I'll even show vids of me showing wat i learned too!

[sniperopss]

personaly, i think the horizontal is more fluid motion, where as this, is one way, then the other, then the other,

[WhatsOfTheUp1]

A pornography starring our mothers will be the SECOND worst thing to happen to us today!

[zappatoon]

i cant buy one of it :( its not allowed in germany -.- damn

[ScaringBradHarris]

according to a book and a video i've watched both made my Jeff Imada, originated from the phillipines.

Very very well known in those parts. my 8 year old cousin can do a bunch of tricks with a balisong. they are very very common.

[olsonknight]

at the base if the knife, those things that stick out when its closed(at the top) i pinch my fingers all the time and that is what hurts the most, though i have a bottlefly now a balisong so i guess that is going to be the most painful thing.

[ScatMan103]

yea make sure you grab the right handle with this. otherwise you will cut the fuck out of your knuckles! My knuckles have scars all over them from repeated balisong use

[ShadowandZues32]

I get pinched all the time and I have never been cut.

[BMXfreak92]

thats much too complicated!!! there are easier kinds of opening whiich look cooler too... and you can cut your finger very easy...

[speedball2point0]

he just did a quick draw in 2:09

[ridofmenyc]

Thanks! Great video. 

[SuperMarioNJ]

i want this for my spy costume but i don't have enogh money, and im 11

[crazyFLkid]

@SuperMarioNJ got $30? look for a bear & son trainer or one of their cheap ones

[sk8ter9060]

were is the basic vertical closing ?????????

[Telerak1]

You know what... I think I will enjoy the rest of my day. Just because of this video. well its 11:59 pm so 1 minute will do.

[ITSMETHEFLASH]

How easy is it to damage blade by hitting the closing latch in maneuvers? What about cutting yourself? I have never had a good balisong and thinking of buying one.What advantage does it have over a regular lockback? Oh yeah I want a spyderco balisong.

[nognog01]

lovely. i like it so much. i want to try it hehe. i want more tricks. hehe.

[DanilDK94]

where is a good place to buy my first balisong. this would be to start trying tricks.

15-25$ range

[Dosunty]

@DanilDK94 Google "balisong training knife". I just bought one for about $20, shipping and handling. It's one with a thick, dull blade rounded off at the tip. It's less dangerous than a butter knife or a scrw driver.

ww.combattactical . com/genpro-bali-song-trainer-p­-3711.html

[abcNICKabc]

What knife might you be using in this video?

[VIDEOS0VIDEOS]

gentlemen.

[Twisted4000]

man why cant some other company make a good balisong like benchmade? the bm42 is just about the best balisong ever made, looks, weight, and feel. Their only available balisongs now are just the 32 and 51, and they are too light weight!

[SleighMarc]

i luv your vidios and your balisong
