Simple 1-2-3 Butterfly Knife Tutorial (Balisong)

The basic of the basic with the butterfly knife -- the simply 3-step open/close process of the butterfly knife. Horizontal and vertical opening/closing sequences using the basic 3-step process.

Horizontal --- flip, spin, flip, catch.
Vertical --- flip [backwards], flip, flip/catch (with thumb) {to open}; flip, flip, flip/catch (with fingers) {to close}.

Practice safe knife use!!!! Always hold on the safe side (for this tutorial) and always use a condom.

Enjoy.

ah, bored in the dorm room lol

@allstarRB1029 100% correct.

When you're doing the Vertical one, when you open it, when you finish the 3 steps, is the blade facing you? That's the only way i've been able to get it to turn out, and i was just wondering. lol but thanks! your tutorial was a lot of help! :)

[Coyote1012]

@sandycreekclogger yes, the blade should be facing towards you with the beginner one. You CAN inverse it, but step two will make the blade come back and hit you in the knuckles... risky if you don't know what you're doing....

Hello, I just bought a butterfly knife but but but. It's hard to move, it's stiff. Loosen the screws? Lube? Lubing prolly not the problem because it's new so it's prolly lubed. But anyways, the screws. HOW?! I NEED HELP PLEASE ILL GIVE YOU 100USD kidding.

[Coyote1012]

@sekolahserisuria Loosening the screws may help and I doubt lube would do much. I would take it and just sit there and open and close it quickly. That's what I do with this knife in the video (sometimes this knife is a pain in the ass with stiffness). I recommend just sitting there and opening and closing it- if it's brand new it's probably just stiff from being new. Break it in a little bit.

@pederghostkiller flee markets always work, you can also check out budk,com and bladeplay,com. You can get a decent one for about thirty dollars. They also have more expensive ones too.

[somethingbeaster]

@EmoTurtl3 they make training knives with false edges and dull points for that very reason. Yeah, I've cut myself a few times with my real one though. It's never been that serious though.

[Twinturbo120]

Thxs a lot for this video dude, really helped out A LOT. 

[Twinturbo120]

@EmoTurtl3 You can always put electrical tape on the blade side.
