If your talking about not worth then id say benchmade is awful. $500+ for and 87 $370+ for a 6x series and $290+ for a 51 seems more not worth compared to a rep

      @@DJEyelessPyro $200 dollars for a 154cm blade with an all steel with phosphor bronze washers, skeletonized handles that has been engineered to be proportioned and balanced properly. You say thats not a good deal. Then compare that to benchmade where you get half that quality if even and pay double. Its still not bad. Also the resale for barebones is typically between $140is AT WORST and about $180ish AT BEST Also what makes you say thats not what good companies do? Its there products and they are a small company so and the demand for there products is more than what they can produce.

    [Watching b-roll footage of Will just flipping and doing aerials like he's reading a book while enjoying a coffee, like it's nothing, and doing it ambidextrously]
    ...With me playing with my new Lucha and basically managing to open and close it without needing gauze or a trip to the ER, I feel like the most amateur newbie that just realized how outclassed he really is.
    Which, to be fair, I never thought I was good at balisong tricks, but I never knew or appreciated just how high the bar got. Some of those aerials, either Will has the ability to move like Neo or perceive time in slow motion or he's done it so many times he just *_knows_* where the handle and blade is. Either of which is incomprehensible to me.
    ...Then again, I also consider the ability to play a guitar witchcraft and something I would not believe humans would be capable of had I not seen tons of people do so. So take my bewilderment with a grain of salt.

    I am huge fan of the chab. I think its such a great all round flipper and is extremely durable and well balanced.

    So I own an AB 3.0 and a latch chab and I do love them both, I see what you mean when you say it’s like an AB but worst, but I think that the chab is not meant to be your first brs balisong, of course you can get it, and it will be awesome, but I think is meant for those flippers that love the original AB but they also love channel Balisongs, so I think this time brs didn’t need to create a whole new design because the chab was meant to fill that need of the community for a channel design bus still having all the strong points of the orinal AB, i still loved your video, keep it up, here you have the support of a Latin flipper

    For an even better sound I would go for a clone chab. It has zen pins so the kinda bell sound is louder. And it's the best clone of all. I know it's not good that it's a clone but I've heard that it's better than the og, and for less than $150, I would go for it.

    As a flipper who was around before BRS, when the alpha beast came out, we annoyed BRS for years for channel AB. To say that BRS just made a channel knife coz that’s what’s everyone is doing lately is inaccurate, it’s the knife we flippers have been waiting for for years, and it doesn’t disappoint one bit. I’ve owned practically all versions of the Alpha Beast and chab is practically all I flip now.

  • @BT_360
    @BT_360 4 роки тому

    I will stay with my 40t.
    I had a few problems with BRS in the past and their fit and finish was a bit off on nearly all BRS Balisongs i've handled.
    Yeah people might had different experiences, but i speak for myself.
    And will rather spend my money on 3-4 great knives for under a hundred bucks than buying one BRS knife.

    Looks the knife is designed for playing rather than fighting which is the original purpose.. Here in the Philippines the emphasis is on the technique of concealment, quick draw and the ability for a quick stab in different positions aiming for the heart or both livers.
    But you made an entertaining video though.
