Just ordered this with both blades + the sheath. Super excited to play with it, I'm glad I was able to avoid spending $150 on my first Bali and having a crappy $40 zinc handle piece of garbage that would break after being used for a month. Super happy to support your company.
Thanks so much 👍🏼it will ship out tomorrow for you, just give it 3 to 5 business days. I personally tune and lube them up in-house so you can flip with the trainer blade as soon as it hits your door. We are working on an updated version of this knife with spring latch and black coated blade, but the factory is dragging their feet. Hopefully we get it in stock before December 😂
Thank you for the info, I'm so glad I'm getting this as my first balisong, I've never seen another balisong where it includes a trainer and a love blade, honestly worth it, especially with the 4th option where it includes everything
thank you! I'm really excited to get this as my first bali, and seeing as this knife isn't very well known, I couldn't find a video explaining how to properly remove latches and loctite the screws, so i'm glad i found this! :)
Glad to be of service 😊👍🏼make sure you subscribe for more Bali videos coming soon. We have a lot more budget friendly models to list up on the website.
My version from you came with the black latch. It doesn't have the same pin on the bite handle side. It doesn't have the same pin on that side is it not removable?
It is, just a slightly modified design with our latest batch. I've reached out to you via email, but for everyone else reading this - our new version with the stone-washed / black latch, required you to remove the black textured handle scale in order to get at the handle screw. It's a better design, because we are planning on adding a spring-latch version on this same frame. The springs we got were bad, so we are working with our factory to get the revised springs before releasing it on the website. If you happen to have a spare spring laying around, your knife is set up to be equipped with one :) There's a small hole in the end of the latch pin, and the other end of the spring can be mounted to the other pin inside the handle.
@@ArenaAccessories that's cool to know. I may end up finding a spring and doing that . I was trying to make sense of what that other pin could possibly be for lol. Main reason I wanted to go latchless was because I didn't want the latch beating the blade. If it's sprung open that wouldn't be a concern. Thanks.
Thanks so much, I just got mine yesterday. It's great! Can you do a video on the red dragon handle balisong you have or tell me if its just as good quality because I really liked the design on that one.
That knife flips great, and has longer handles than the one in this video. Only drawback is if the pivot pins ever loosen, you will have to smack them with a hammer (on a hard surface, such as a bench vise anvil) to re-tighten them. When you get something with screw pivots, there is a little more maintenance but it also allows you to tune them up much easier. Riveted / pin pins are nice if you just want to grab and go, but over the years, they will almost always loosen up. That's why we price our riveted models cheaper. They're great to add to your collection, and still flip really nicely.
I purchased this balisong about 3 weeks ago and i've been flipping since and enjoyed the feel of the knife. But as of about 3 days ago the pin on the blade that prevents the blade from hitting the pins in the handles fell out, and by the time I was able to notice, the blade had already hit and knocked out all of the pins on the inside of the handles, blunting the blade and leaving only one pin at the bottom of each handle screwed in to hold the handles together. The knife felt great out of the box but I would have to say that a knife that falls apart this quickly probably wasn't worth the buy
Thread locker is key, it's important to thread lock every screw on any balisong. Message me via the website and I will see what I can do to get you back up and running. If your tang pin fell out, that should not have happened. I can get you a replacement. Thanks 👍🏼
If it's riveted, you probably won't be able to remove it without sawing or dremel cutting the latch off. You don't want to pop out or ruin your handle rivets, otherwise the handle will be falling apart if it's a sandwich design. I'd need to see a photo of it to help you out further.
if your still wondering, most screw/pinless bali’s you can straight up just knock off the latch, i wacked the latch off one of my ccc bali’s with a screwdriver and it works great
Yes, thread-locker. Heat it with a flame then try again. You can use a candle or lighter or a soldering iron but be careful. Try both sides as well. One side always seems to be tighter lol
I know i am very late to the answers but does anyone know where, how and why you would put a rubber o-ring? I presume it is on the latch but i am not sure. Thank you in advance
I bought a similar trainer. I wanted to take off the latch but the screws are so tight and the tool which came with the trainer, destroyed the screws… i need help
Try an elastic band on the head then use your screwdriver again. But you first need to heat it up with a flame or soldering iron, to break the thread locker. Sometimes you will need to go to a t7 on a stripped t6.
@@ArenaAccessories nope, didn’t work either. The screws are too tight. Not even a t7 works on that screw. Perhaps if i used super glue. Like, gluing a piece of metal onto the screw. Thank god i have replacement screws
@@Sam-dd8cl drill them out lol My bet would be that super glue would not hold, you might want to try an epoxy like JB weld or something onto the screw head but don't get it glued to anything except for the screw head that's probably a waste of your time. Just drill them out with a drill press. I wish I could help you further but it sounds to me like you didn't buy it from us I'm just trying to be a good guy to lead you into the right direction
Do you mean a riveted one? You'd have to replace the rivets with screws, or replace and peen the handles with new rivets. Those are much more advanced to modify.
I just have a question, do the screw must be tied af or it has to be loose, bc mine is a bite loose and I'm gonna remove the latch who os the same as here, so do I habe de tied the screw as much as I can ?
The screws should be tight, my dude. Otherwise your handle might loosen up. Be careful not to strip the heads of the screws. You can also use a little bit of heat if they won't budge easily (there is some thread locker applied at the factory, depending on where you got your knife), you can heat it over a candle, or with a small flame, but be careful.
I put bearing in mine and wedged the original washers in between the zen pin and bolt at the bottom of the handle so that the handles wouldn’t be as opened up top compared to the bottom of the handles now I have no play or tap and a damn good flipper so you can get good tolerances in this bad boy if your willing to put in some work (forgot to mention zero blade rub after i modded it)
That sounds awesome! Gotta love knife mods. You just increased the performance and value of this knife by doing that. If we could eventually source some bearings that were just the right size, I might just have to make a "special edition" series.
@@jahyeet1137 Never enough time in a day. In other news, we are dropping a new exclusive titanium balisong on bearings in 2 to 3 weeks, check out our Instagram @arenaaccessories_dot_com or our exclusives category on the website to join the waiting list. Very excited! Can't wait to get the final production model here so we can make a video.
Check your spam/bulk email folder. Depends when you ordered, because we don't ship after 11am or so on Saturdays. You will get an order confirmation email when you order, and then another email once it ships with the tracking info. Contact me on the website if you have any questions, anything piled up from the weekend just processed today and was shipped out. It will all get scanned in by USPS this evening.
If your knife is rusty, we sell a really nice polish. If it's too far for metal polish to remove the rust, then you need to step up to sandpaper or some sort of scour-pad.
Happy to hear that! In 2022 (probably January) we will have a new spring latch version coming, with black coated blade. Same design, but a few new features. Right now we only have about 80 pieces left of the knife in this video.
We check them all prior to shipment. I actually tube and lube them personally. Contact me via our website contact page woth your order number, when you get a chance. You can still flip it as is, but it's designed to have washers for the best action and blade alignment.
@@belimbing3349 I can't see a photo of what knife you have, but if it is a rivet you won't be able to without serious modifications. The simple answer is to deconstruct the handle and take out the latch, then reassemble.
@@ArenaAccessories from flipkart. I wanted to buy a good expensive balisong. Because i love these knives. I never was able to afford one but now that i have money i thought I'd buy something expensive but guess what. The most expensive balisong you can find on the internet in india are around 5oo rupees. I was very sad but the one i got is a good one. It's not that good but at least the screws don't loose the first day Anyway removed the latch And it's working fine now.

If it's a rivet, you either have to drill it out or punch it out.

I know i am very late to the answers but does anyone know where, how and why you would put a rubber o-ring? I presume it is on the latch but i am not sure. Thank you in advance
It snugs up the latch to keep it closed better, if you have a knife where the tang pins or handles get overly worn.

I cant unscrew mine 😔😔😔
Try a little heat to break the thread-locker; a match, lighter or candle works. Just be careful.
ok i need this because my balisong is super squeaky when i flip it and my latch, is blocking my flips when i try to close my balisong..
thanks btw.
My balisong is not gonna sound shploinky
thanks bro
They tightened the screw so much that if i unscrew it the screw will break
