What makes the gale "spongey" are the zen pins that are not really zen pins but instead 1/8 sexbolts barrels, so theyre hollow and they absorb the the hit. That can fuck up the space between the handles tho
this is the only channel I would ever seriously consider being a patron for. I've never even touched a balisong in my life... that says something about the quality of your channel.
I have a very very standard trainer with an alright design, flimsy latch and a bit of wear and tear and I have absolutely no idea where it is currently but I like it. And I only have a few ways of flipping and closing.
I started flipping a butterfly knife again after a 30 year hiatus. I came upon your videos just from surfing UA-cam. I only started flipping again less than a month ago and after watching your videos I am now up to around 25 balisongs in my collection now. Binge watching your videos has been a huge influence and has made life fun for me again. you both are very entertaining and informative and have a great sense of humor. Hence me watching your videos for three weeks straight and nothing else. And even though this video is old, it still provided me with the knowledge and information regarding brands of balisong knives that are made. I know this is long winded, but I don’t care. Thank you for all the both of you do.😊💯
Ya'll produce the best butterfly-knife content on UA-cam! I believe this is because the quality put into each episode's production yields a story rather then just a 'how to perform tricks video.' Also, I feel like I'm not just watching someone at a much higher level than myself, because Brandon adds a very relatable perspective from someone trying to learn
7:03 what makes the squidtrainer better than the kraken trainer? I'm considering getting one of the two and was pretty much decided on the kraken but just wondering what made it an A- what made the squidtrainer an A+
@@thebrandonbakerclone ahhh right. out of the squidtrainer and kraken trainer, which one do you prefer the feel of? I'm still a bit undecided on which one to get.
@@mpl7 I went ahead and got the Squidtrainer 3.5 with the mindset that the money I saved I would put towards getting the Kraker Raken whenever it does show itself.
Oh my... The 51 in F tier personally hurt me. It was my first quality flipper and will always hold a special place in my heart. And honestly, I flip it more than my Ti Bas.
I would really like to hear more about your experience and personal opinion on this, as I myself am coming from benchmade including the 51 and 62 to get more into flipping and technical tricks and have a Hom Bas arriving tomorrow! There’s not much info out there on the Bas and it’s a pretty penny. The 51 morpho was my first Bali and I edc’d it for years until losing it. Now I’m worried lmao! 😅
@@vowelowl Well the 51 is way lighter and flipper friendly in my opinion. Ti Bas is really handle heavy as they come and I think you'd have to buy seperate handle weights to make it more balanced. It's a great knife, don't get me wrong but I even have to send it to get it fixed because one of my tang pins is falling out on one side and the hardware stripped too. That being said I have to send my 51 to get it fixed too because the Ti liner on the bite handle broke (people said they never seen this happen to anyone lol). So I am not very lucky with my balis even though I handle them very carefully. Ti Bas is SCARY espeically at the start with the brand new tip but trust me, one fall and it'll break so you won't be worried about the tip for long. Everyone's style is different tho so you'll make up your own mind :)
@@kirop7 Thank you for your response! Honestly, after handling it for the first time I feel no connection with it.. I used to flip tf out of my 51 haha so I hear what you're saying about that. Probs gonna return it for a Talisong Z!
@@vowelowl Give it some time, you might like it after a while. The flipping feels precise but kind of in a slow motion for me. I'm planning on getting the titanium handle weights once I get it fixed so it might be better after. I'm still just waiting to buy a rep now however. I've meant to buy it for a long time now and I think it'll fit just my type of flipping
After rewatching this video 2 years later, I think it’s time for you guys to do an off the cuff raking again like you did here with updated thoughts and all the new balis you have tried.
The BBBarfly is great too. I recently got into flippin' and while it is chunky, they're really really quality for how absolutely cheap they are. I think they came out with the V3 blade soon, and while I haven't flipped that one, it is stainless instead of tool steel, so if you haven't taken care of a knife that'll tarnish and rust easily before, you might wanna snag the V3, but I haven't flippo'd it so I don't know how it flips. But it's great and I don't feel bad dropping it while learning. BBBarfly has the upside of their stuff being relatively available since they do to-order instead of doing product drops like Squid. Sometimes never-touched-by-consumer-hands-before Squid knives can be hard to snag because the demand is super high for the supply they've got going.
My guys doing the Banshee dirty. I absolutely love the tuning fork trainer blade, it looks and sounds so cool to me, and you can use it as a fork! Also the thing just comes with so much dosh, from a full set of extra hardware even including bearings, and two different versions of spacer weights
Hey Will! I’ve got an idea for a future video that I think would be very interesting and helpful, especially for beginners like me. Could you discuss types of tricks, maybe with some variations? I wish there was like a baling trick guide showing what are ladders, chaplins, rollovers, ricochets etc. You know, just to learn the basics. And then you could show some basic variants like: „Rollovers are_______. Some basic variations are the Y2K, Zen, Thumb (showing how you do them). That would be really helpful, it would make it easier to know what to learn and build some combos!
im sorry f tier for the stock 51?? personally I think it deserves way more credit than that. I loved that knife, used it for a while and got used to the way it flipped and really enjoyed it.
Were doing PH scales in school right now and your chart looks like one haha.. But better!!! Its balisongs!! I really want to get a triton! Good video pdr usual
Its literally almost as good as the real CHAB with extremely similar qualities (Grade 5 Titanium) and its considered the best clone that can go up against other much much more expensive knives (real CHAB/AB, Rep, Kraken, etc...)
@@psychsteeves4577 not exactly yeah sure the hardware is better but then the clone is 1/4th the price and for that it arguably flips just as good plus it has zen pins (idk why a $400 has tang pins but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and like I mentioned Grade 5 titanium aswell the real CHAB had literally nothing against the clone
The Hom Bas isn’t in your link for the list of knives and breakdown of score. Not complaining, just bought one to get back into flipping (coming from benchmade trash ((for flipping)) ie. 62 and 51 morpho) and am trying to find out more about it, arrives tomorrow. Just trying to figure out if I made a good choice for the price if I’m trying to become a better actual flipper as I enjoy the sport/skill soo much. It’s an elite w carbon fiber spacers which should make the balance relatively neutral. I’ve skated on knowing basic openings but really want to get into more technical tricks. Thank you in advance for any feedback!
I’ve gotten into balisongs recently because of you! I’m not very good but just reached the 6th month and got my self a BRS replicant and I’m Loving it. Keep up the good work!
Could you say more about why you'd recommend the Squidtrainer over the Krake Raken Trainer? I'm trying to decide between those two as my first serious trainer, and had been leaning toward the Krake Raken after watching your review of it.
Funny story: Yesterday i had diarrhea. I squeezed all the Braun stuff out and putt it in a bowl and putt the bowl in the freezer. Next morning the diarrhea looked exactly like ice cream! I went outside with the bowl and gave some of the diarrhea ice cream to some little children playing out side. They actually eat some before vomiting all over the place. I laughed so hard I started sneezing blood.
I love my 63, they’re great build quality and will last forever edge retention is also great. I use it as an EDC and I’m pretty sure that’s what Benchamde intended them for. I was lucky to find mine under 350. I understand what their reasoning for ranking is but I think they only use knives for flipping..
My favorite balisong by a wide margin (more than my Tuffthumbz Tach II) but I can see it getting ranked poorly as a flipper. (Personally, I like the challenge.)
i wish you listed the brand WITH the name of the knife...im too new and dumb! google sucks. i rly hope you do this again soon getting into bali....ive watched this video like legit 6 times now lol its why i got a serpent striker 2 as my 1st bali now im looking to get the kraken as my 2nd! yay!
Sweet list! I really want to save up for a Krake Raken trainer. I have the amazon trainer you recommended and love it but would like to move up and the krake raken trainer looks so good.
Hey Will Hirsch, I am getting my first Balisong this year for Christmas, but my balisong is from the mall because I am unable to order one this year. Is it fine if I get a live blade one then just dull the Christ out of it, would it be a somewhat decent ‘trainer’?
Love your channel bro. You should do a review of the eoc trident.. its strange how theres barely any videos on it, despite alot of good things to say about it on reddit
Not sure if I can do this but can you do a review of the maxace scorpius? I can't find proper reviews on yt. Im not even sure if you go over materials but can you kinda explain what the hell m390 is???
The Bradley Kimura 7 is the one to get if you can. This version was OEMed by Benchmade, 154cm steel, no g10. The knife is truly amazing! I understand the new ones aren’t as hot, but the Kimura 7 is an S tier knife for sure!
Love the video lol almost overwhelming since I'm new to balisongs, but still great. Is the benchmade 51 morpho any different than the 51 or is it the same? Just want a good flipped that i can also use to open boxes at work if I need xD keep bringing the epic content guys, much love
You lucky that you ordered one I can’t get a triton even tho it’s the one trainer I really want inclusiong the bbbarlfy pro v3. At least I can get a squiddy which is pretty good. Hopefully I can save money for a triton but I think ima get the bbbarlfy pro v3 since it comes with extra headwear when you have to pay 8 12 more dollars for extra headwear form squid
Will, in your professional opinion should I get the nautilus trainer or the krake raken trainer? I don't know much about the nautilus and I hate the noise of the krake raken. Well I guess in anyone's opinion cause Im new to balisongs.
The naut is quieter (has a thud sound instead of a ring/vibration), is lighter and easier to ricochet, and the g10 has grip and nice feel to it. Kraken is a little heavier so it carries momentum better and has godlike handle feel. I prefer the nautilus due to being so used to it but the deciding factor is what weight is better and if you prefer g10 or just aluminum.
I haven't ordered one off that site but like all of the csgo Bali's are similar, mine has lasted a beating but is great! Screws work well, I took it apart last night and put it together without issues. They are hard to do tricks especially index rollovers. They work great for chaplins. The latch almost always stops working on them, just put rolled up paper in the handle and crush it in with the blade :)
I’d like to see a video comparing the different levels of 51’s. I have one myself with some flytaniums and it’s an s-tier in my opinion, but I wonder where it would fall on your scale. Great video :)
I think the reason he has the 51 up there in S tier is because he's biased which he said. He's talked about it a lot of other videos, its not even a 51 anymore, a literal custom bali.
I think blade steel is rarely touched upon and is important. The 51 being D2 for example is actually a nice choice since it’s tough and can take a fall better. I would like to see more diversity in steels like an m4 or m390 Bali sounds so sweet.
hey, will I had a question about a trainer and where it would rank in your list. the trainer I wanted to ask about was the squid industries nautilus where would it rank and in the tier of ranking what knives would be better than it and worse than it? please and thank you

Wow thank you!!
You should get one, they are pretty fun (I would not recommend getting a live (sharp) blade before getting a trainer (dull blade))
I have a very very standard trainer with an alright design, flimsy latch and a bit of wear and tear and I have absolutely no idea where it is currently but I like it. And I only have a few ways of flipping and closing.

I really just don't understand how this channel has so few subs. It gives off the vibe of a channel that should have at least 500k, is that just me?

I think they came out with the V3 blade soon, and while I haven't flipped that one, it is stainless instead of tool steel, so if you haven't taken care of a knife that'll tarnish and rust easily before, you might wanna snag the V3, but I haven't flippo'd it so I don't know how it flips. But it's great and I don't feel bad dropping it while learning.
BBBarfly has the upside of their stuff being relatively available since they do to-order instead of doing product drops like Squid. Sometimes never-touched-by-consumer-hands-before Squid knives can be hard to snag because the demand is super high for the supply they've got going.

Omg I’m freaking out I can’t believe you responded to me!
Do you have this in a full list? Would be very helpful
I love your channel thanks for the content
Thanks for watching!
Not sure if I can do this but can you do a review of the maxace scorpius? I can't find proper reviews on yt. Im not even sure if you go over materials but can you kinda explain what the hell m390 is???
Also what's your opinion on the best knife under $500
can someone please link me a website that doesn't have every single balisong that is sold out
Brandon for 9 full seconds FeeeOOOORRREaaaaaaAAA
Also pls do a emissary review
The Bradley Kimura 7 is the one to get if you can. This version was OEMed by Benchmade, 154cm steel, no g10. The knife is truly amazing! I understand the new ones aren’t as hot, but the Kimura 7 is an S tier knife for sure!
If only I would've gotten the notif sooner, I got it from the discord server bc yt didn't work

I might get a Bali song this Christmas, it was off Amazon but the video of it looked decent
Love the video lol almost overwhelming since I'm new to balisongs, but still great. Is the benchmade 51 morpho any different than the 51 or is it the same? Just want a good flipped that i can also use to open boxes at work if I need xD keep bringing the epic content guys, much love
I am actually pretty curious about how did you get into flipping balisong
He tells this story in our Intro to Balisong - Butterfly Knife 101 video!
Apparently he got into balisong by watching the meet the spy video, even though he claims that he never played video games in the q&a
Where would the Scorpius x and obsidian rank?
kraken clone would be what tier ?
How about the Nautilus?
I own a bm67 stock and I want to get a set of stitched steel handles
where would you rank the Rebola by black balisong
will you ever do a review on the triton from squid i just ordered one
You lucky that you ordered one I can’t get a triton even tho it’s the one trainer I really want inclusiong the bbbarlfy pro v3. At least I can get a squiddy which is pretty good. Hopefully I can save money for a triton but I think ima get the bbbarlfy pro v3 since it comes with extra headwear when you have to pay 8 12 more dollars for extra headwear form squid
@@balisongnoob1852 the squiddy will be good trust me i have one and im so glad i got the triton like as soon as i got it it went out of stock
Will, in your professional opinion should I get the nautilus trainer or the krake raken trainer? I don't know much about the nautilus and I hate the noise of the krake raken. Well I guess in anyone's opinion cause Im new to balisongs.
The naut is quieter (has a thud sound instead of a ring/vibration), is lighter and easier to ricochet, and the g10 has grip and nice feel to it. Kraken is a little heavier so it carries momentum better and has godlike handle feel. I prefer the nautilus due to being so used to it but the deciding factor is what weight is better and if you prefer g10 or just aluminum.
@@blazeedge1631 i hear the naut has more tap/play is that true?
@@velvettdolll naut has less tap/play
@@blazeedge1631 thanks!
I see a bunch of Csgo balis and I wanna try them to feel the difference. There’s a site call mega knife and I wanna know if any of them are quality?
Most of the csgo knives are not worth it from what I've heard, not to mention awkward to flip :/
I haven't ordered one off that site but like all of the csgo Bali's are similar, mine has lasted a beating but is great! Screws work well, I took it apart last night and put it together without issues. They are hard to do tricks especially index rollovers. They work great for chaplins. The latch almost always stops working on them, just put rolled up paper in the handle and crush it in with the blade :)
Ik I honestly just wanna try it for the experience and the ones from that site look pretty cool with the colors In general
@@jamescolbourne9489 but I’m also worried about the site being a scam I don’t know how to tell if it is or nah
@@pyriny4836 buy it off cuts, amazon, elemental knives, or a site that has legit reviews on yt.
I’d like to see a video comparing the different levels of 51’s. I have one myself with some flytaniums and it’s an s-tier in my opinion, but I wonder where it would fall on your scale. Great video :)
I think the reason he has the 51 up there in S tier is because he's biased which he said. He's talked about it a lot of other videos, its not even a 51 anymore, a literal custom bali.
I was lucky enough to buy a BM42 back when they came out in the 2000’s. Still have it and it’s still my fav. Never selling the thing.
I think blade steel is rarely touched upon and is important. The 51 being D2 for example is actually a nice choice since it’s tough and can take a fall better. I would like to see more diversity in steels like an m4 or m390 Bali sounds so sweet.
hey, will I had a question about a trainer and where it would rank in your list. the trainer I wanted to ask about was the squid industries nautilus where would it rank and in the tier of ranking what knives would be better than it and worse than it? please and thank you
Can you guys review the benchmark im going to get it off blade hq and i want to see
I was just thinking about this!
Can you do a review on a cheap Amazon knife called the Marcolo trainer and apparently it has a spring latch.
I bought the Lucha because of this channel and I love it.
SADNESS!!! it didn’t make the cut.
What do you think of Glidr from Australia?
It did make the cut lmao
