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.
you prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost the login password. I love any tips you can offer me.
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
i just love listening to music in the backround with someone talking, BUT WAIT THERES MORE i love it when there is no audio for the person besides little snipits of him talking!! :) +1 great vid
Enjoyed seeing the crafting that goes into these knives.no automated machines and each knife would be a little bit different than the next.ide love to have one.
Amazing workmanship great to see it is made, that is a beautiful knife and work of art. I'd rather have one of those than any cnc'd titanium tech knife!
He could drill holes in the blade what means it is not hardened, than he riveted it together, than he groundet it and finished it with the handles attached ? Without hardening ? Did I miss somesthing ?
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
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.
I don't get it. How come i remember the history of Balisong just by reading it once but have to read over 9000 times just to try to remember the things i learn at school...
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.
Is the brass and horn attached to the metal handle only by pins? Are they not glued at all? Is that aluminum or some other metal used for the handles? Great video showing how they're made in the Philipines.
wow a dude responded to my comment then blocked me so that I can't reply, well-played. I don't want to argue with his ignorant mind either. if ever you read that comment, these knives sells for 5 usd (250php) not 15usd. I made a mistake with the conversion php not Mexican peso.
Woah I actually read that person's comment and came to yours for like a few scrolls below and the word "PHP" was very clear so I red it and realized everything, just. Wow.
***** Lmfao... What Benchmade balisong can be had for $100? Their cheapest model is the 51 Morpho which starts at $230. 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.
wow. sana matutu rin akong gumawa nyan, kung alam ko lng yan, magtatayo ako sa pangasinan ng pagawaan ng balisong. haha tnx 4 the video :) im a balisong addict..
+Steven Stauffenenbeurrgettezeinschiesseznerschnell The wheel's rpm is almost the same with the videos fps (frame per second)recording. That's why it looks slow, and yet you see sparks. I'm a Flip.
+Steven Stauffenenbeurrgettezeinschiesseznerschnell Oh that one. Explainable. When the material was introduced to the constantly spinning (rpm) wheel. 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.
I had visited this guy's workshop on my visit to Philippines. He is amazing, sporting man. I got four knives off this guy and he allowed me even to forge one knife with him. Obviously I overpaid, but it was worth it.
when i was 10 years old i had 2 balisongs,1bronze one,the original design from batangas,philippines and a ballpen design,which is look like a pen,i always bring it to school, we called it balisong or bente nueve in philippines
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
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.
how do you know if when you leave your house no one will shoot you?
sometimes you just have to trust life

TheTriforceCrusader cool man
I don't care what you think about the butterfly knives, but you got to respect that dude. He is making them with his own hands, ffs!..
What do you means with his own hands
@@leafernumberwatever2121 he means he handcrafted them from scratch
you prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost the login password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Benton Harley Instablaster ;)
It flips but... Will it blend?
And that is the question
>insert intro here
+Casandbagger todaaaah we are gonna blend a dick! Oh i mean a Balisong?!
I dont think so he hardend it it will break though if u drop it because he dident temper it
oh you'd be surprise how tough spring leaf steels are even if you don't temper it :)

Beautiful video my friend really shows the craftsmanship of it all.
So beautifully crafted, nothing from the factories can come close to the amount of care and work put into these knives.
Wow, great video! Really inspiring to see them do so much with such simple tools!
awesome video. Love seeing how these old school knives come to be.
Nice! I've visited Mang Ona's shop once, bought a few Balisongs too, cool guy. Hope I can visit again when I'm back in the Philippines.
I like that balisongs are still being sold. I want to have one of my own.
i just love listening to music in the backround with someone talking, BUT WAIT THERES MORE i love it when there is no audio for the person besides little snipits of him talking!! :) +1 great vid
American-born half pinoy just discovering my roots. Good to see such craftsmanship. At mahal ko ang musika ;)
Beautiful piece. I would love to own one. Good documentary if I may call it that. Good work.
Enjoyed seeing the crafting that goes into these knives.no automated machines and each knife would be a little bit different than the next.ide love to have one.
I very happy to have two of these hand made Balisong knives in my collection. The craftsmanship is awesome. Great vid and thanks for sharing it. :)
wow that knife looked so professional, and it was made by hand
TheVideogamemaster12 Most professional knife makers do it by hand
Andrew McCarney
Most professional Balisong owners buy their Balisongs...
Amazing workmanship great to see it is made, that is a beautiful knife and work of art.
I'd rather have one of those than any cnc'd titanium tech knife!
Nice work. Keep doing what you do best. Would love to have a Handmade balisong as good as yours
Bryan that are excellent representations, expressions, of our culture. Thank you so very much for posting these informative videos.
Man, I would love one of those... Amazing craftsmanship...
That balisong turned from okay to amazing. They blade looked nasty but then they cut to the part where it just looked flawless.
very nice process! looks like these guys have made their fair share of knives before :) thanks
Amazing video!!! Thanks for posting. This is truly one of the best videos I've seen on this subject.
Awesome video, my father has one of those from the 90's, I'll make sure to get one the next time I go to the P.I.
How come there's no audio for most of the video?
Very beautiful knife
I'm surprised everyone isn't bitching about the pin construction.
Probably because it's traditional, not some custom or production modern flipping balisong.
@Sad CRIS Eh, depends. Usually pin is worse both for flipping and maintenance.
I wanna get into knife making but I don't know what or where to buy any of you guys know
Amazing craftsmanship
beautiful
Very insightful video. Amazing what craftsmen can do with such primitive tools.
chris higdon they aren't primitive in fact you'll see the exact tools in a factory but new and better looking
wow, beautiful Balisong! i would love to get me one of these made like that by hand
Nice movie thx for uploading i have one question which kind of metal they use for the pins for holding the blade ?
I would like to know how muchit is worth and when my knife was fabricated serial
number (11-526)
Wished it had subtitles
Beautifully made . i wonder what type of metal is the handle channel made from.... stainless steel , aluminium ?
Stainless steel.
this one is stainless steel.. the special and custom made balisongs are made from brass and usually thicker
So cool! Makes it look easy!
0:27 i think something is wrong with your info. (It was from the philippines)
He could drill holes in the blade what means it is not hardened, than he riveted it together, than he groundet it and finished it with the handles attached ? Without hardening ? Did I miss somesthing ?
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
Excision the oil is for adding carbon
he quenched it which hardens the the metal
just addin more info
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.
from where do i get balisong man😢😢
Do you think they annealed it after quenching?
I didn't understand a word, but respect for this man. He's very talented and looks familiar ;D
Amazing, thank you for sharing.
This is so relaxing to watch.
Where can I get one of these?
where is that shop located in the beginning on the video
Brgy.Balisong,Batangas
Very cool. Thank you.
Very good can u show us how to make them
I don't get it. How come i remember the history of Balisong just by reading it once but have to read over 9000 times just to try to remember the things i learn at school...
i honestly don't find myself ignorant but can someone tell me the general steps he did i have had a bit of a long day and i am somewhat semi competent
soo nice i wish theres a shop just like that in singapore
That's awesome

What the fuck happens with the grinding wheel at 4:11?
Your last name is astonishing.
+Steven Stauffenenbeurrgettezeinschiesseznerschnell The wheel's rpm is almost the same with the videos fps (frame per second)recording. That's why it looks slow, and yet you see sparks. I'm a Flip.
Al Salazar No I meant the texture and color of the wheel skips really suddenly.
+Steven Stauffenenbeurrgettezeinschiesseznerschnell because it's more fun in the philippines
+Steven Stauffenenbeurrgettezeinschiesseznerschnell Oh that one. Explainable. When the material was introduced to the constantly spinning (rpm) wheel. 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.
Amazing
I wish balisongs were legal in Australia :( at least I have a trainer balisong....

Michael Russell Same in Denmark :/
Here in the philipines a knife is a knife even though how scary it is
+Alex Rednut But if you are carrying it in your pocket isn't the same as it being coseled?
Michael Russell Sharpen it
beautiful knife, I wish I had the time to make something that good
I had visited this guy's workshop on my visit to Philippines.
He is amazing, sporting man.
I got four knives off this guy and he allowed me even to forge one knife with him.
Obviously I overpaid, but it was worth it.
