Im making true fact
Butterfly knife became popular because of filipino inventor
I actually did not know this, I always assumed it was due to the way the handles action, which I guess was partially correct.
He's wrong
"No!"
*aAhuh* 🐁
Its a Balisong knife, its an integral part of the Philippine culture, much like how Katana is to Japan.
He just called it a balisong, what’s your point
@@walkerx1813my point is, if its not broken, dont change it. People easily changes names of a thing that is not even part of their culture, and for what? Because as a lazy American, butterfly is easy to pronounce than balisong right? Shut up.
@@walkerx1813it is a big part of our history and originated, and helped many of our historical figures like aguinaldo
@@walkerx1813the point is that balisong is a weapon originated in the philipines??
@@rhinniesborgarfactorybut it's not related to the video
Another names is the batangas knife because it originated in batangas Philippines 🇵🇭
I love your shirt man w for support
The introduction of balisong to Americans was back in world war 2 when American soldiers was in the Philippines. Americans was having a hard time pronouncing and remembering the term balisong so they simply called it butterfly knife.
Lol Americans are always having trouble pronouncing anything. The average American has reading skills of a 6th grader. No joke look that up.
Exactly... And benchmade was established in '79.... This moron don't know chit
I want to try that benchmade with the orange inserts so badly
Bad Kitty spray spray 😹🖖🏼🇺🇸
“Have you ever thought of why?”
“No!”
*And I took that personally*
It’s crazy how I didn’t know this thank you for the info will!
I've always wondered, but never bothered to actually search it up lol.
Thanks Will :D
And you should look it up yourself because he's completely WRONG ..!
Benchmade started in 1979. Butterfly knives were a thing long before this. It's so completely made up its amazing
"No"
-Famous last words
Butterfly knife/balisong originated in Philippines
Yet not a lot of people know it as much in the same way as the Karambit originated in Indonesia.
@@gamechanger8908as if lots of people knows what a karambit is. Unlike those useless weapon, balisong is known so much in the western world because of its introduction to the Americans during their occupation in the Philippines.
@@gamechanger8908our ancestors is crying 😂
Well, DUH, benchmade was started by a guy who came from the Philippines to the US.
Everyone: The information
Me:His Trick
“No!”
Proceeds to spray sanitizer on face
THANX FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION!!!
Love your shirt
I didn't know Google was a thing in the 80's
Thank you for explaining this, I've always told people it was because of the handles and the look of it as it swung open or something but this makes so much more sense
This shirt is fire✨
“ No! :D”
*Spray*
“Aaeuh”😫
No freaking way! You said the butterfly on the logo was referring to Benchmade’s old logo with balisong and I pulled out my Benchmade auto. I never really looked closely enough to realize this was butterfly and why it got its name. Thank you!
I like the shirt
Just got my will hirsch balisong today and I love it
I actually did know that one I used to sell knives, god I miss that job. Love the content you guys scare me.
I'm old, I knew this already, lol
keeping well old timer lmao
I thought they used these in the 50's and 60's
Because it flips like a butterfly but sting like a bee
Benchmade is one of my favorite knife companies. I also have an affinity for butterfly knives. I HAVE a Benchmade butterfly knife yet somehow i didnt know this. Random information like this is quite possibly makes up 50% of my conversations with people...yet somehow this juicy nugget of info eluded me. You sir, have earned the hell out of a like and a sub! Lol
I didn't know that. Thank you
I restarted this video about 10x or more before finally watching past the first 8 seconds 🤣
It was actually invented in 800 AD by Leon in the Philippines
I never would have guessed the reason behind the name since butterfly knife seems perfect for the “wings” of the blade. 😮
Bro, I had a benchmade all this time and didn’t know it was the reasoning for the name 😅
It's not.... This dipchit had no clue what he's talking about.
It's not always love that makes you feel a butterfly in your stomach.
I can finally tell people it’s not called that cuz it looks like a butterfly
That perfectly cut scream like: aAGh
God I need to tune and replace the blade on my flyti 51. I abused the shit out of my zenith blade 😅
So cool
Will, what are the tricks that you do in the very first shot of this video?
I will for ever call it a butterfly knife it just sounds zo cute (and I might or might not be able to pronounce the word balisong right😰)
That intro was sick
Have you ever tried an opus? And if so, how does it compare to a serif?
dude almost made a ked cry
Nice man bun
Hot take here but I’m gonna stick with the term butterfly knife. Mostly because mine are all American made and that’s what we grew up calling them, now if I got a real nice one from the Philippines I would call it a balisong but in my mind they are different. Just like how an American made katana is not really a katana
Both are right! There's no 'correct' term I just think it's interesting how the name came to be
your shirt is so cool i love it!
Benchmade started out as a Balisong Company so it makes sense
And it started as Bali-Song hide it's focus was on BUTTERFLY KNIVES....
This tool has no clue what he's talking about.
I didnt even know that it was called balisong
As a fil-am, i can confirm that we made the Balisong famous, just like how us Filipinos popularized the west sumatran knife, the karambit.
Perfecto de Leon introduced the knife in 1905 where most of the butterfly knives originated from barrio Balisong Taal, Batangas. His involvement with the Muslims knife recognized as the kris, motivated him to craft the first knife with twisted rims.
I fuck with that shirt
The balisong pride flag shirt is beautiful
Lol my balisong is a benchmade, I got it several years ago and never learned how to flip, but now I got the courage and got little good at it, It has fallen several times, so its completly destroyed, but, it flips.
Huh. Interesting
Pappillon knife as well!.
did Benchmade use butterfly as their logo because it was called butterfly knife or it was called butterfly knife because it was Benchmade's logo? Which was first? :) Anyways great video :)
Love the shirt
As a Filipino i didn't Know The Butterfly Knife Originated in The Philippines😭
"No!"

the spray in the beginning was funny af lol
Can someone explain to how there are search results from google from the 80s and earlier? The public internet started in 1993 and google was founded in 1998… how?
We used a specific service that's an off-shoot of Google Trends called Google Ngram Viewer, it basically uses every book on Google Books to show the usage of different words in books throughout history, and the frequency of them!
@@thebrandonbakerclone Oh! Thats neat. Thanks for the answer.
Wow
Locals in the philippines wouldnt think of balisong if you ask them about butterfly knife
💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥
Butter fly…
Switch out the blade with a comb
Oh I thought it was just cuz CS 🤧

How does google trends work before google was made do they just guess how many people would’ve searched it?
Google had trending words in the 80's???? Or they going off articles that were scanned into archive?
“Dudes” like you make the butterfly knife suddenly look not cool 😬

Read the title again: "Why is it called butterfly knife?" AND NOT "Where did the balisong originate?"
Wait, how did google trends exist in the 80s?
They use historical records from books, magazines, and newspapers
It's still a butterfly knife
Why did he say there logo at the time? Benchmade’s logo is still a butterfly
Real story: before the US had that company the Spaniards popularized it in the Philippines and "balisong" means butterfly knife in Filipino which it originated in Philippines
Balisong does not actually translate to "butterfly knife" and the only reason Google translate does that is because it is localizing the word.
Balisong actually is likely derived from the phrase "baling sungay" which means "Broken Horn" and references the fact that original balisongs were made with animal horns in the handles.
@@WillHirsch Somebody did his research. Nice.
