SUPPORT ME ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/TheWillHirsch Hope you all enjoyed this wild ride of a video! I just finished up a long gig on a reality show that was taking all my free time, so now I'm back at it! More videos coming soon...
After watching this vid, I fell in love with this knife. 2 weeks later and its 12-15-2020 and I am now the proud owner of a black, tanto, maxace serpent striker V2. It is beautiful. And will fit amazingly into my new custom leather A51projects burrito style Bali sheath. Excellent video and even better knife.
Hey will! Here’s a suggestion: you should dedicate a little time of the video to show how the Bali sounds raw, without music. No hate, just a suggestion. loving the vids! Have a good one!
Not gonna lie, i've heard about this knife like 3 months ago, really hesitated to buy it. Then you post the Chaplin video and it was the green light to me, jumped out of the bed took my credit card and bought it (off Aliexpress for 89€ on discount, French viewer here). Just received it, i'm usually not a fan of sandwich but man... this thing is tough. And there i am just listening to you saying that it is great and agreeing with you. Great video as always. Btw i would love to watch sound equipement videos on your channel as long as the videos keep this humoristic tone, we are here for the memes.
@@AshenBen Salut, tu trouveras sur Aliexpress la lame Tanto ou Drop ou Trainer, selon les vendeurs tu auras plus ou moins de choix pour les couleurs Il faut passer un peu de temps à chercher une offre qui te plaît, tu en a beaucoup qui proposent le trainer + Tanto ou Drop, mais tu peux aussi avoir que le trainer, ou que la lame, tout sera écrit
I just started getting into balisongs and through your channel I’ve learned so much about balisongs, maintenance, and even tricks! I’m interested in starting my own collection. Thank you Will and Brandon! 🙏🏼♥️
just recently picked up bali's again and i stumbled upon your channel last night while looking into squid industries! your content is incredible and i'm so excited for more. picking up a triton and a squiddy b soon, super excited
Ok, editing tip. When you do a wipe transition for broll( like the one in the first 5 secs) you should use a thing called speed ramping, speeding the footage up Spector the cut. It just makes things generally smoother. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Also a great vid tho
whenever i see your videos i start to watch then want to flip my 30 dollar balisong and then i can’t find it anywhere for like three days. then when i don’t really want to flip it any more, BOOM it was in my ass the whole time. Love you will! keep up the good work
Hey Will, can you please do a Z Choker tutorial? It’s a very technical move that I’ve been working on, but just can’t seem to wrap my head around. I’ve loved all of your tutorials so far but I would love to see one for this move!! Also, I have the gray version of this knife and I absolutely love it! It’s my favorite flipper by far. It’s very light compared to my Lucha which I very much enjoy. I highly recommend adding this to any Bali lover’s collection.
I bought one a few days ago should be here Tom. I couldn't pass up having a live and trainer on bearings for that price. Hope it's good as it's my first balisong. Hopefully I do good flipping. We shall see
hi, a viewer from china here the serpent striker 2.0 in china is about 50 dollars. i owned the version 1.0 with titanium parts (not the inlays), about 55 dollars, i defenitely recommend it, but i would say snatch the 1.0 if u can another tip is to get extra hardware, if you drop this on concrete, the bearing steel balls might feel weird and unsmooth
It's Jess! Finally early to the show, you've tried a Covenant and a Pelican, how does this stack up to it's more premium brethren? I've heard some really good things about this Bali but I passed on it to try the Atropos Demon Orange Mood (as I've heard it's a budget Rep alternative, I will review it on my channel soon!). Keep up the good content!
Honestly I'd say it's up there with the Cov and Pelican. Really impressed with how good the balance is even though it's so cheap! Better then their previous attempts for sure
Thanks for the recommendation! Just snagged one. Looking forward to finally owning a bali decent enough to be an edc that isn't expensive enough to make me feel guilty for beating it up
Hey Alex I have a question about maintenancing your balisong how do you know when it’s time to maintenance it? From what I’ve heard about threadlocker (loctite) it’s tough to break free from the threads, do I have to wait till the loctite is weaken by using my bali a lot and then I maintenance it or?
Squiddy b if you want to bring it on a plane If you want a better knife for flipping the other one is probably better (I haven't used both of those so idk)
Maxace said the Serpent Striker II is discontinued. The Scorpius-X (with BUSHINGS) is replacing it. Any plans on reviewing this new model? Not a single review anywhere on it I could find...
The Maxace Covenant was the only bali I liked with the latch on!! Though, you can always replace your latch with a "Paracord Latch" which is much lighter. I should make a tutorial video for that, actually!
So I recently started flipping and watching your channel plus others and what I'm seeing is this is going to be the next trend. It's 1-30-21 today. Give it a month or two
Will, I would like to have your honest opinion on this question. Which one would you recommend, Maxace Serpent Striker or Maxace DMG? I would really like to know since I have heard really good things about both of them.
It will Never Escape Our Memory Also it would be weird if that was like, a shirt or poster design That sure would be strange Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder if that is at all true The world may never know 😉
what about the covenant is this better than that? i loved the covenant alot i thought it was damn near perfect other than maybe a tad slippery and also that had become fairly rare at that time so i didnt want to flip it much.
I would just like to know what your opinion on the glidr company is I am very interested in their original 3 but I am not sure if I should get it and if its worth it
Hello Will, I was wondering if you could review an atroposknife smoke bro. I’m considering getting one, but I’ve seen a lot of conflicting info about them. Thanks!
Hey can you do a review of the triten?? I’m getting it for Christmas and I would like to here what you have to say before I ask for it. Thank you, your the best and I love you vids... and the man bun
We've done the CHAB, but we get a lot of requests for the Emissary and the Alpha Beast, so we might be able to circle back to those if we can get our hands on one!
@@thebrandonbakerclone i could send y’all my ab 3.0 to review if you’re willing, it’s a Bowie blade in new condition. You don’t have to if you don’t want to though, I get it!
A number of ways to carry a latchless balisong: In a sheath Tip down in your pocket Make a latch out of paracord, it works better than you'd think Or simply leave the latch on if you're not gonna notice the slight imbalance in your plethora of tricks.

YES! I was going to ask for hifi equipment reviews!!!! The channel only gets better
You should do an audio setup tour! every time I see it in your background I get interested
That's the plan for the first one!!
My name is Brondon. I love coming to this channel for cool knife tutorials and to see them act silly. Ispasialy brandon. It gets me every time. :)
This review convinced me to add one to my collection.
i swear man, this content is worthy of so much more attention...
Loved the "Rejected" reference. Literally made my day.

Great video man ! I love your content ! ...I want your Riolu plushie

Just found your channel! Great content this is what the balisong community needs.
Thank you so much!!
1:37 the smoothest transition you have ever seen in your life
Thanks for your advice.I am your Chinese fan and I just got the knife a few days ago.

Now that's real commitment to the hobby
I have the old orange maxace with the Banshee trainer blade and both of them still flip amazing

"My spoon is too big" is a phrase I never thought I'd hear again thanks for the nostalgia Brandon😂
You make the funniest Balisong content
Our chaotic energy is certainly paying off
I am getting this knife.

I got it for my b-day, it was the 7th
I bought one a few days ago should be here Tom. I couldn't pass up having a live and trainer on bearings for that price. Hope it's good as it's my first balisong. Hopefully I do good flipping. We shall see

That's fascinating that it is that cheap there!!
Hi just got started recently in balisong just wanted to say that I love your vids.

Do you still have this? The tanto? I’ve been trying to get my hands on one but no luck
Best video yet 👍🏼👍🏼
Will don’t you say terrible show😌this is the best shit in 2020
Thinking about asking for the squiddy b for christmas....should I ask for that one or the serpent?
Squiddy b if you want to bring it on a plane
If you want a better knife for flipping the other one is probably better
(I haven't used both of those so idk)
Depends on what you plan to do with it, but I would say the Serpent!
Maxace said the Serpent Striker II is discontinued. The Scorpius-X (with BUSHINGS) is replacing it. Any plans on reviewing this new model? Not a single review anywhere on it I could find...
Happy thanksgiving will!
Hell yeah new will hirsch review
Hey man! One question for you. What's a bali with a light latch you wouldn't take the latch off of?
The Maxace Covenant was the only bali I liked with the latch on!! Though, you can always replace your latch with a "Paracord Latch" which is much lighter. I should make a tutorial video for that, actually!
WOOOO A NEW VIDEO
I love he clarified that not every knife from China is a POS or a Clone. Finally.

Wow you are doing knives from around the world
p.s what wiha screws work with serpent striker
You should review knives from glidr.
Did yours not come with a pocket clip or did you just take it off first thing?
I took it off pretty quick, totally forgot to mention it tbh!
The combo at 1:29 is so smooth
What’s that trick called?
@@isthatsuave_ tbh I don’t know I was wanting to know though
@Jhix It looks like a thumb rollover > a fixed roll > a Z-choker :D
What's the length and diameter of the screws in the center of the handles on the serpent striker 2 balisong knife (Yellow)
Have you seen the Atropos demon BRO or any other of his BRO line? They are right around 120-30 and are fucking sick
I need to try them!!

Bought one for Christmas right before this video came out. Glad I did because all the black ones immediately sold out after it went live🤣
If you buy thicker washers would the knife have less play since it fills in the space between the handles.
Will, I would like to have your honest opinion on this question. Which one would you recommend, Maxace Serpent Striker or Maxace DMG? I would really like to know since I have heard really good things about both of them.
7:30 hehe... "the one" you can buy clones on
lmao
Your vids are fire
Why is his videos so good

Where is the run down house that you’re flipping? I also live in the Atlanta area and would love to check it out
We shot this at the Sope Creek Paper Mill Ruins!
Thanks
I have the ss2, but my favourite maxace is the covenant ii. Dont get me wrong I love the SS, but man the covenant flips so well
Is teflon tape any good for bearings? In my experience the screws seem to back out a bit with bushing balis
Well what's next in your backlog of videos/reviews?
We have quite a few balisong videos planned, some stuff with Svix and a few surprise reviews, as well as our Balisong Collection 2020 video!

hey, you mention knives good for edc and then recommend removing the latch... how do you carry your latchless edc balisong then?
A number of ways to carry a latchless balisong:

Tip down in your pocket
Make a latch out of paracord, it works better than you'd think
Or simply leave the latch on if you're not gonna notice the slight imbalance in your plethora of tricks.
This is a good example of why going to filmschool is a good idea
