    How cool would it be to have an authentic, beautiful, handmade Filipino Balisong like that... That would be so cool.

      you can buy one you know

    • @TheTriforceCrusader
      @TheTriforceCrusader 9 років тому +7

      Yeah, I know, but over the internet, how would you know if it was LEGITIMATELY authentic? You have no idea how many scammers and things there are on the internet, and you never really know if it's genuine or not.

      Emmett Ochrach-Konradi That's more of an extreme case. But yes, that's true. Anyway, I've already got an awesome balisong, it's a BRS Replicant, and I'm super happy with it (and broke) so it'll be a while before I get a new balisong. If I get into collecting, I will try to get one of these genuine Filipino Balisongs.

    I recently found out my family was originally from Batangas and that it was tradition to know how to use a balisong at a young age. Being in the US and not having much contact with that side of my family, I try to find ways to feel closer to them and my heritage. Watching this video really makes me want to make a balisong by hand like the man does in the video. I already have a file kit and hopefully with patience I can make a passing approximation to the beauty he has spent his life perfecting.

    That's amazing. I would love to become a professional balisong maker. I would experiment with other types of metals and various designs of course, but that looks like so much fun and to have a product that you can look back at and say, I made that would be the most amazing thing in the world

    • @AwaitingNonExistence
      @AwaitingNonExistence 9 років тому

      h you missed a part. he made it and put it all together, grinded it into the blade shape, then disassembled it and put the blade in a fire at 9:35 and dunked it in oil after to harden it and put it back together for the final time

    • @jakei8322
      @jakei8322 9 років тому +1

      wulf arrow no its not, its for quenching. You can do the same in water, oil just cools it slightly slower and is less rough on the steel. For example tool steels need to be quenched in oil because of the hardness it reaches the stresses in the steel could make it shatter so you need oil to get it as hard as possible without hurting the piece. No carbon adding involved.

    The balisong was created as a surprise weapon.
    It was quickly deployed and kept in motion to distract the eye of the opponent.
    By its constant motion and quick attack the opponent was unable to make contact with the person and the user had a strong advantage.
    Also the persons ability creates doubt in the opponent and more confidence in the person with the knife, it was a perfect design to create control In a confrontation.

The only other decent balisongs are from Bradley, Bear & Son, BRS, Microtech, etc. and they're all from the United States. The only other companies I know of outside the US that makes balisongs are Boker in Germany, original handmade balis from the Philippines, and Cudeman in Spain. And of course China and their counterfeits.

It creates resistance to the wheel, thereby slowing it. Camera picks it up as a change in rpm but the camera fps is still the same. So it looks like it skips. It's all about physics.
