I literally had a dream on Monday that I walked into blade hq and the guy behind the counter looked at me and said "how yall doin s' Jared". Same voice and everything. I have been thinking about it ever since. I might be traumatized emotionally.
@@Lugermonger35 Hey, I've been enjoying your content recently, and I enjoy flipping my butterfly knife. Do you have a recommendation for a beginner's knife(trainer) so I can get better?
Love your collection. I had one back in the 90s that got stolen from me. And have searched for a true benchmade every since. Found my 1st one last year at a swapmeet in Missouri the #67. These things are hard to find. Especially now I moved back to California. I cant even find a shop to do a professional cleaning and sharpening. Mine sat in my gun locker for about 6 months and has a couple small black dots on the blade.😭
My problem with knives (I own 60+ now, with ~50 being $100 or more) is that I’m not a tactile person...EXCEPT with knives. Nearly every knife I’ve bought is something I love to fiddle around with in my hands. The only ones I don’t like are some of my early purchases that aren’t worth the trouble I’d have to go through to sell them.
I go through the same thing every time I go to sell knives. I just have to remind myself I don’t have infinite funds to pump out videos and do giveaways so I have to sell. And then the culling happens and I cry in the corner for two weeks. But eventually I’ll get over it...right?
Most people normally encounter this problem when buying things, but it is funny to see that you are on the other end of the spectrum. Owning things is more complicated than just purchasing or selling an item.
I go threw this in my head everyday, just bought a Black Washed Kershaw Lucha so I decided to sell my old Lucha then I changed my mind 33 times and decided to keep both. (I love them)💪
I actually have an idea, instead of selling knives, trade them for a short period of time. Others can try out your knives for a month and you can try theirs and neither of you has to spend money. You can also buy them off each other after that month if both sides prefer their borrowed knives.
I have this problem with flipping my knives and end up just flipping my rep all the time but I have all these other knives I can flip but i forget about em and leave them to collect dust
I’m new flipper looking for a good knife in the 100 dollar range, any recommendations and where to get them? And nice collection, I’m jealous, I collect knives but I haven’t had a live blade balisong yet, I plan to get one soon, sometime this month just trying to get a good one so it lasts
Live balisong are gard to get under 100. I am not 100% up to speed with all the balis that are currently being sold but i believe a dogbite or a maxace might be around your budget. But you are probably spending 150
So to help, the 51, barebones, and the tach 3s honestly aren't worth selling to secondary market, they don't get any sort of good prices second hand, unless you sell all at once, they're stuff you might as well keep if you're only gonna sell one. The hom, ab, rep and petrel are sadly the only ones that'll drive decent prices which kinda sucks
The way I always look at it is if aren’t using it you don’t need it. Why? Because of you died tomorrow someone is getting it free or of little charge and they’re going to use them and you passed having never enjoyed them. Scary thought but very realistic.
Is your name Jared, or Jerry? Thought it was Jared, but not sure. Wanted to get it right. Also, do you think that Kershaw knives are better than Buck? Because I know that Buck uses 420 steel (but its heat treated). Not sure exactly what type Kershaw uses.
For me as a newbie it's important to compare balis and because I don't know people who own some I have to buy and sell until I found my holy grail. Example: Tang vs. zen pins? Bushings vs bearings? Sandwich vs. channel design? Do I need a pocketclip? After figuring all that out the question remains where to get something affordable that has everything that I want... And that is legal in my country (Germany)... Aaaaarh!
This crack is really good crack. I like crack a lot. I'm going to keep this piece of crack. I am also going to keep all of the other crack rocks I have been more crack rock is better than less crack rock.
I am confused about the 51. Was it discontinued? It's not on BladeHQ nor the BladeHQ and some say It's discontinued. Love the collection btw. I only have BM51 as my only good knife and I feel emotionally attached to it so I partially know how you feel. Hopefully I can get the replicant one day. Or perhaps the Basilisk. Love knifes way too much
As another Balisong collector, I feel the same way, but I won't sell any knife, because I know I will have sellers remorse. With a collection that hit a 4 digit number 5 times in cost, I have definetly put a tight hold on my wallet. To the point that I have to budget for knives, and cut out other expenses. Firearms too.
I do the same but I have to choose between guns and knives it's a very rare guns win occasionally but for some reason $500 on a gun seems like more money than $500 on a knife
@@Lugermonger35 For me, 600 is a bit much on a knife. 1500+ is a bit much for guns. I cannot even fathom how much I spent in guns, but I know it is probably double the cost of my knives.
These ain't flippers dammit! Well apart from that, i get the same issues, with the exception that my knives all fall into two categories: worth basically nothing (at most 50 bucks new) so not worth selling or built myself so sentimental and quite difficult to sell too.
This is called "being a collector with good taste" syndrome. It's my whiskey collection, and soon to be my knife collection (assuming I actually have good taste XD)
If they're legal to own in your area Try Googling local Cutlery shops or search "Cutlery shops near me" Or online Bladehq.com knifecenter.com pvk.vegas (PVKvegas.com)
We be knives on Pier 39 in San Francisco but it's from "Bernal cutlery" out of Seattle Washington you can find them online this is their "hardmill knife roll"
If you look for a 51 online you'll probably find one but there pricey check out the maxace serpent Striker or the maxace banshee are both good starting points
For me at least, if it isn't going to be beaten, tipped, and flipped, then it is TRASH. No point in owning something expensive that sits on a shelf taking up space
Word of advice to anyone. Never sell your knives, let alone anything out of desperation(this excludes life or death situations). You can sell all of your stuff and get a lot of money, yes, but in a month or so what do you have? Nothing, no stuff and no money, you're back at square one.
Ain't it the truth with any hobby. Happened to me and guitars for a decade until I had no more space in my basement. Sometimes it takes a new hobby to let you feel ok with trimming it down to essentials. A new hobby like. . . balisong flipping
I know exactly how you feel. Like I have 2 dirtbike. Do I need 2? no. But one I don't ride often because it's loud and fast but it's rare and fun. But I can't sell the small one because it's quiet and I can pick it up any time and go for a ride because it's low maintenance. I know exactly how you feel
Just sell knives you don't use frequently, you're clearly too attached to the butterfly knives (which is fine) so maybe sell knives from other classes.
man's ballisong buisiness fails because he wants to keep all of them.
Would be me 100%
LOL that would be me if i made one

I tend to run into the same problem with anything collectible. Gotta get two of em. One to use and another to never use.
I felt this video in my soul
These videos are just straight up flexing. I love it
I was looking for this comment, the flexing is real xD
Its just satisfying to watch the mechanisms
I can stop when I want to, I don't have an addiction.

you know something's messed up when jared doesn't say "what's up"
Exactly
*Howy’alldoin? S’Jared*
This “rant” makes way to much sense so I’m not sure if it counts as a rant. This is simply a video with facts on top of facts.
Keep your knives. Sell a kidney, you only need one.😉
Your liver can regenerate
This is my alt
i literally can’t only one of mine works, i honestly would consider it if both worked

Anyone who has a collecting hobby understands this feeling all too well
I understand this but it’s giving my cheap Amazon balis to my friends it’s hard to do
I go threw this in my head everyday, just bought a Black Washed Kershaw Lucha so I decided to sell my old Lucha then I changed my mind 33 times and decided to keep both. (I love them)💪
I didn't understand knife collecting before this but I think I get it now
Damn these balisongs are so damn gorgeous I can't even afford one of these balisongs
where is my "sharp balisong are illegal in my country" gang at?
I actually have an idea, instead of selling knives, trade them for a short period of time. Others can try out your knives for a month and you can try theirs and neither of you has to spend money. You can also buy them off each other after that month if both sides prefer their borrowed knives.
I’m pissed he didn’t flip that otf closed as soon as the video ended
LOL That's actually funny I did but I turn the camera off too soon I didn't catch it
I have the same issue all the time, and I always say "in 5yrs it'll be way more valuable" so I just keep everything 😂
and sometimes we're right but sometimes people forget about it and it ain't worth crap
2 for you might have been working with you Ready 6 5p he is going to be good
Where does one sell a balisong? E-bay and craigslist are out. Got a BM42 10 years ago used it for about two hours.
man im petty but you take this stuff to another level
Since the 63 Discontinued do you ever think they will do the same for the 62? Just wondering because I got mine for a really good price.
6x's in general are discontinued I believe
@@z.c.t8317 okay, thanks
Good rant. Now imagine watching this when your local politicians say this is all forbidden fruit one must never even think of having a taste of.
Hey Jared, full ti Hybrid Reps are in stock at BHQ right now 🙃
i feel like i just fell down a knife filled rabbit hole
I have the opposite problem I can’t seem to find knives I want to keep usually.
What is the price of the cheapest balisong in that collection?
I have this problem with flipping my knives and end up just flipping my rep all the time but I have all these other knives I can flip but i forget about em and leave them to collect dust
There are so many times i had to scream "BREATHE DUDE" at the screen.
Also Nice Knives man.
If I’m being honest, I’m interested in buying the NRB
just watched a 3 minute ad on your video. you can have that
Good point

Brother,For How much will you sell that barebones and BM51
I had to pay 500 dollars for my white and Purple mint rep since it is so hard to find.
It's incredible if you don't thrash the thing it will hold that value
We’re did you get that case for your balis?
We all have this problem it's just a thing when it comes to balisongs
I am confused about the 51. Was it discontinued? It's not on BladeHQ nor the BladeHQ and some say It's discontinued.
Love the collection btw. I only have BM51 as my only good knife and I feel emotionally attached to it so I partially know how you feel. Hopefully I can get the replicant one day. Or perhaps the Basilisk. Love knifes way too much
The standard 51 is not discontinued. There are exclusives like the one he has in green that are.

Where would you get a holster like that
Where do you get these knives to begin with? I would want to start a collection but idk where to get them
How much is the stormtrooper and the 51
I need to know the tragic backstory to these knifes. This trauma goes deeper than some people’s daddy issues

Is there a trainer version of The storm trooper?
I have a bbbarfly pro v2 now, but I still keep my crappy amazon trainers and my squiddy just because I'm emotionally attach to them
Soooo...
how much for the replicant
Would you want to trade your tachyon storm trooper for an exclusive blue g10 stonewashed benchmade 51?
Where did you get that holder
If you ever decide to get rid of the 32 please let me know. I'll give it a good home. (Also this video makes complete sense)
Does he live in the us? I thought balisongs were illegal in the states
SAME i have the same problem but with buying knives not selling them
Me happy just having my one since Christmas
