Honestly I think it’s important to just pull the trigger on one of the Balisongs, because balisongs are more of a collection based hobby. Meaning in the end you’ll probably get both or Atleast find something to replace it. Love the vids Will!!!
I think I would agree. if you’re a beginner in the hobby and are buying your first few balisongs, well you haven’t tried enough different balisongs to even know what your preferences are, so just buy for looks/price.
Furthermore, if you have a big collection, you may know what you’ll like or dislike, but once you have the perfect balisong that fits your preferences perfectly, then there’s not much point in buying future balisongs that perfectly fit your preferences because you already have a balisong that does that.
I’m interested to see what Ethan’s take on this is because he seems to flip very much in accordance to his preferences, whilst still liking unique balisongs.
My other hobby is fighting games, and when someone can't decide on a character the best advice is to pick who they think is cool, because that will make them want to play and improve more. Same/similar philosophy seems to apply!
Yes this exactly!
This is an excellent problem to have! I remember when I got into flipping and the only options("good" performance) were BRS, Benchmade, and some other small makers who charged an arm and a leg! Awesome that this hobby has become more and more accessible and we now have so many options!
This is the best advice. Especially for newcomers. I have a collection that consists of live blades and trainers of different sizes, materials, and price points. My favorite one to carry is the Triton. Purely because I love the design and the sound. If you like the way the bali looks, you're going to enjoy the hours of repetitive practice required to improve.
if you buy a cool looking knife you'll be more motivated to flip with it more and get to know how it flips
Exactly!
Dang it’s a short one today. I personally love your half hour videos.
Oh don't worry, a REALLY long one is coming in the form of my full collection this year
if you don't wanna buy, you could just outright make one. this may not be the easiest but if youre bored the option is there.
itll look the coolest to you too
when i buy one i just think of me using it everyday and if it will withstand the beating its going to receive or if the coating is going to last. What balisong you get depends on where its going to be used and if its going to genuinely do everything you need it to.
Whenever I see people agonize for days or weeks over what first bali to get (which is strangely common), I also recommend the "whatever looks cool" option. 1. There are so many good options out there to choose from, and 2. It's a first bali, not a last bali.
Mako was my first bali. Bought it because I love sharks and a bali with a bottle opener is a cool bar trick
Vulp Pro is my first balisong. I started a week ago in this hobby, but my old fingers do not move as quickly as they did 40 years ago.
Glad to have you! I hope you enjoy it!!
I really want a vulp and a squiddy rn. I especially want the vulp, like as u said, because of the look. Short vid but a good one
Almost as important to looks for me personally is a nice sound too, I always look up sound tests before buying a Balisong
I think if you've already narrowed it down to a few based on what you think you'll like the definitely pick the one you think looks best. But to get to that point looking at balance, materials, and overall features is important
Yay new Will flips video!
I like your video on your view on Balisongs. One recommendation I would make is to also talk about blade bias and handle bias and talk about what tricks people prefer. For example edit lite or calico would be better for someone who want to fan rather than the squiddy. But I really like the video! 👍
"Buy what's look cool to you" is a great advise for beginner.
All that "suggestion" about specs, material, neutral or bias... etc, will scare off people who want to join the hobby.
Look cool, within the budget, that's good enough.
I think most new people want the best bang for their buck knife
I just buy whatever is cheaper to some degree lol.
Btw i just got a vulp for my birthday today, and im so excited to use it!
I think that's a valid way of doing it too!
@@WillHirschFlips it's literally because I'm not an adult and don't have a job haha
I couldn't agree more with this.
I think some specifications could be taken into account, if you already know you have a preference in that area. Say you know you don't like heavy balisongs, then if you're deciding between two and one is much heavier, then go with the other one. But besides that, I totally aggree with what you are saying! That was something that was told to me when I was buying my first guitar, just pick one that you like the look of, because if you like how it looks, then you're going to pick it up to play. When you're a beginner with any hobby, or if you haven't experienced a large variety of what the hobby offers, then you aren't going to notice the subtle differences between things at first anyway, but you will always know what looks cool or ugly to you.
Will if you do anything please get you a hom tempest. It's shorter yes but it has your preference for handle bias to a T. From watching your videos and the balance you like its a must. It's one of the classiest balis and tbh I think you should get one in your collection. You won't regret it. Even stock with the ti spacers you would probably enjoy it most like it with the newer cf spacers he has. Try both spacer sets and see which you like. But I hsve got to say I cannot believe how good the tempest v2 is even in these days. It's also again one of the prettiest balisongs I've ever seen in my life.
Seems like they are popping off right now seen alot of people getting or selling lately. Usually they aren't around to much.
I honestly really love the Tempest, I should get one!
@@WillHirschFlips yeah you should! Such a beautiful balisong for the collection.
I love your view on this and I agree to a certain degree, but also like I think especially if your like me and have very few balis knowing more about the specs and others opinions on the knife are important as when I have the ability to get a new Bali it’s gonna be my only new one for at least a year or two so I really want to make sure I am buying one I will most likely enjoy and part of that is which I stylistically prefer. Which is why I’m in the exact spot this video is on about as whilst saving for a new Bali I’m trying to decide what under £150 Bali I should go for. As I think I speak for most people here I want all of them 😂
I got a squiddy al coming in soon!! I loved your review on it 🎉 and I have been flipping for one year you are my favorite flipper and you are the reason that I got into flipping thanks will keep up the good videos 😁
Honestly I keep being really impressed every time I pick up my Squiddy-AL to this day!
Basically, pick anything you dig the looks of, and we've reached a time where that bish prolly gonna flip. What a time to be alive 🤘
For real!!
I say buy all of them 🤷🏻♂️ you can always sell or trade if needed
Love the vids will keep up the amazing work my guy
It took me about 2 months to pick my first pricey balisong. After watching countless video reviews, looking at multiple detail pictures, checking Reddit threads and other forums.
I eventually bit the bullet and bought a Talisong Z Tanto. I liked the rounder handles, the inclusion of jimping, the knurling up the handles, and of course, the tanto blade! Very satisfied with my choice! Eventually bought the Scimitar to add to the collection!
Let's go new vid
Will's in the hobby to collect, so his perspective of buy based on looks works for him. Im in the hobby for the flipping, so it doesn't work that way for me. Once I found out what I liked, all balisongs that aren't what I like just sit there, as I tend to pick up the one the flips the best for my style, which for me is theone Orca clone. Having flipped this knife, I only want titanium, heavy, slightly handle bias, and can carry momentum. Anything other than that doesn't interest me. So I would say, take Will's advice here only if you just really want as many balisongs as possible. If youre not a collector, find out what you like as quickly as possible, because it will save you A LOT of money.
Not at all true, sure some people may be into the hobby for different reasons, however Will himself has stated that he is in the hobby not only for the collection and the flipping side of things, but also the communities that can arise from those within the hobby. While not everyone is the same we all have one thing in common, we love balisongs, wether there's a deeper reasoning as to why or simply just because it's "fun toy that do flip flip", we as a community can agree that balisongs are something we enjoy.
@@RAWCflips I didn't say he is ONLY in the hobby to collect. He's here for many reasons, and one of them is to collect, as you can see from looking at his case. So he doesn't care if he gets a balisong that doesn't flip to his preference because it goes into his collection and he's happy to have it. What I'm saying is that if youre not in the hobby to collect, his advice will cost you a lot of money, and possibly aggravation. One thing I've noticed about Will is that he can only see things from his singular perspective. He doesn't account for the fact that other people are different from him.
I think that's a fair point!
just got my green vulp today is greattttttt
Totally agree with Will
Has anyone else noticed that on the box there is an orange bali between the squiddy and the squiddy al, and that bali has the same shape and color as the new collaboration that squid industries is going to make?
best advice ever. Which one looks cooler? Yah, get that one...because you already know you like it that way, and you're going to be staring at it a lot...
I remember when I was looking for my second balisong, I was between the kraken and the CHAL barebones and I ended up getting the barebones because I liked the look more, especially the blade. I honestly don't think I'd be happy with a kraken instead because...it's kinda ugly and everyone has one
My first balisong was a BRS Barebones from 2016. Served me well for years til I stopped having time for it and sold it off, I arrive 8 years later to this video looking for advice
I've got a questions why do balisongs use torks screws instead of something more common like a Philips.
i do think this is a hard to beat take on the "what balisong should i buy" beginner question in such a subjective hobby. it's why when someone asks me and they don't specify any balis, i ask for their budget range and give a list based on that rather than just one usually. and of course it's different with experienced people cause at that point you always end up in a conversation about what one vs another feels like
This is my exact opinion. Why buy a cygnus vs a SlifT? Both moderately expensive, both look great, flip great, and are made by reputable brands. Buy the cooler looking one!
“Performance quirks and features” WAS THAT A DOUG DEMURO REFERENCE??
I have been doing butterfly knife for about 5 years now and I've just been buy cline so far but hope to get a vulp or some similar like a mako
i got a black standard vulp, im liking it so far
Just ordered my first balisong - a Serif
I agree, made total sense. Actually am looking for a new one, and this vedio just die decided which one I going to get. Lol. If you don't like the way it looks, you won't be happy with it and will replace eventually. If you love the way it looks your going to love flipping it around peeps and not around peeps, even if it isn't that great of a filpper, but as you said you filp something enough you'll get it. Lol. Well kind rambled on their, short story, I get it. Lol.
Well. First is knowing your preferances
For me the vulp pro jist feels- perfect i love everything about it nothing about the knife id nit pick
Since will hirsch designed it aroind his preferances i know if he likes a product i most likely will too. But i also go for certain materials like g10 feels good to me, and so does titanium i dont like raw aluminum so for me it goes
Perferances
Materials (grip ig idk)
Than looks
Leaked the new squid collab here lol
slayed😋
What If I Already Bought All The Expensive Balisongs I Was Interested In? *WHAT DO I DO NOW*
GOOD LUCK WELCOME TO MY WORLD
should i buy the inked mako with white handles as my first great flipper or should i buy the squiddy as my first great flipper because i can take the squiddy anywhere i want
its tempting because i could get the squiddy for easter or i could wait for my birthday in july and get the mako what do you think?
I want an orange squidy B with counter weights and jimping. Hmmm.
Love the Easter egg video.
hi will i was just watching your first video on the eps 101 and was wondering if your thoughts on it are the same as they were 8 months ago
Yeah I still think it's really good!
@@WillHirschFlipsI’m thinking about getting that or the Orion for a first live blade which would you suggest?
thats alot of comments to read
yo sorry for asking im thinking about saving for prysma or mako v.4.5 and i like both of them in different ways. i would like to hear your oponion please. PS im not really good a flipping. PPS im pretty much starting in hobby my only like good balisongs are vulp and squiddy. PPPS i got squiddy for my birthday that is today but we celebrated it on sunday.
Hey will i have a question idk if flipping matters on the balisong you like for example i like jerry hom's balisongs they heve my favorites in terms of designs but flipping is okay unlike the serif or tsunami and kraken which they have a better performance in terms of flipping so do i have to get better with the balisong that i like and own or get a better balisong for flipping instead.
Hey Will should I get a Swordfish or a serpent striker v3
SSV3 in my opinion!
@WillHirschFlips OK thank you. I'm gonna ask for it for my bday
@@WillHirschFlips and maybe one of your cases
Heloo 🇻🇳🇻🇳
