The 42 beats them for flipping, but I've EDCed the 51 for years in cargo pants and the black morpho for years in black dress pants.

    @jasonthephoneboy 13 років тому

    I recently purchased the 53 a week ago, then returned it, and looked for a cheaper "work" butterfly. I returned to buy it and never looked back. I wanted another butterfly, I carried a CCC for about 2yrs before it died. Then I got some extra money, and planned to purchase a B915 triage. But I just didn't like the thickness of that knife. I got the 53 instead but as you said it is not a flipper, but so far a good work knife. I just wish the handles were aluminum, or at least had steel liners.

    I love my 32. I can't afford a bunch of knives, but I did go out for the 32 and I chose it over the 51 because of the size of my hand. The 32 fits me much better and once you adjust to the size and weight, it's great for flipping. I can do aerials and spins quite easily, but when I go to say .. a solid handle Jaguar and back to the 32, it feels insanely light. And .. EDC is also great, even though it's illegal for the time being in my area, but that's not important. :P

      ***** He accidentally said blade instead of knife near the beginning of the video. A 5.5 oz blade is really heavy for a balisong, and if the blade was that heavy the handles added weight for a knife that size would add up to almost a pound or so.

    But you do! The only sub $200 brand you've recommended is BK. And that's my argument - it may have different materials, but b&s builds with excellent quality. I own several, and I also own a couple benchmades as well, and I'm telling you that the only differences I've noticed are weight, how long the blade holds an edge, and the latch system, which I definitely can say is better on the Benchmade, but could never be implemented on a b&s without ruining the design

It's not the best at anything, but its quality is greater than the sum of its parts. Just my .02

Any kimura (2-7) is basically the same. and it will be easier for you to learn tricks on a heavier bali. plus kmiuras are around 90 dollars so that's a big factor as well. as far as collecting goes you should get the SmallFly from bladehq.com

    You are right that it comes down to preference. I love a knife that is as good looking as it flips. I like quality materials and tight tolerances. With Bear you will not get this. IF you want a cheaper knife then by all means (and i have said this countless times) get a bear because when it comes to "cheaper" knives Bear is the better option. Bear has had sooo many quality issues and people these days are just more into the higher quality knives. You act like all i reccomend is 200$ + knives.

    To my knowledge, it's also under 2" or 2.5" Yeah, they are pretty easy to get in Cali though.

    @sirhorsechoker Unfortunatley in some areas, you cant do anything about it, I pretty much leave my Kimuras in a bath of oil and they are good so far, but i know some people have to pretty much just let it happen.

    Knife forums they sometimes pop up, and just get any of the 4x series that you can, they are all practically the same just blade difference.

    I used to have a mtech twist, it did the job to teach me the basic's untill I lent it to someone and they broke the blade,. Ive been wanting a kimura since.. think im going to grab one :)
    What type of tool cabinet is that? model? looks fancy :)

    Butterfly knives are not illegal in the state of Alabama. If you keep it concealed, then it is considered a concealed weapon which is illegal. The penalty in Alabama for a concealed weapon is as follows.

    i have a really old balisong (it was my dads), and it's sort of unique, the latch is on the safe-handle instead of the bite-handle

    You can buy them online, bladehq, bladeops, etc. They dont give a crap...
    I think (not positive) that is you are a collector (having three or more balisongs) it is legal. But I'm not sure.

    @CandCJones the bear and sons 114 is a great beginer balisong fro 30-40$ its the best one for under 50 in my opnion you can buy it with a demascus blade to for a exta 10 bucks if you want it is on the hevierside tho but if thats what you want its a solid knife and wont break on you easily

  • @CalviNNation
    @CalviNNation  13 років тому

    @MPSecare Very true! And yes you have to watch out for that latch thats why I havent latched it up even once since It got here in its package.

    Benchmade is selling a new model. Model 62 made from D2 tool steel.
    So just saying, if no one wants to dig up a 42, the 62 is almost the same with a edited blade design.
    The 42 is an elongated blade, the 62 is wider and with less curvature more for use and slicing.

    @WARRIORMASTER330 Save up for the kimura for sure, I should have talked about that a little more.

  • @CanItAlready
    @CanItAlready 11 років тому

    If you search for videos about why not to buy cheap balisongs you will see some where the handles broke because they were made of cheap metal or thin metal. You'll see some people describe how the cheap screws that were used got stripped from being re-tightened repeatedly or fell out and got lost. And, of course, cheap knives in general don't come with a warranty, so if something goes wrong you're on your own.

    What about the Kimura 7? Is that one the 'same' as the other also? I think it looks the best out of all of them.

  • @xkrisxchaputx
    @xkrisxchaputx 12 років тому

    I have a 51sbk, and a Bradley Kimura IV BK, both of which I was able to have shipped to me, with proper circumstances. I thought Calvin might know other/easier ways to get them here or what sites he ordered them off of.

    if i may say something about the smaller balisongs.
    the smaller ones are better for people with smaller hands. I'm five foot and not very big, when i use or carry the full size knife, quite frankly the knife is bigger than me. the smaller knife also allows for greater control when flipping when you're small. it works for us ladies.
    and we can carry it in our boot tops... just saying

    Calvin, Im planning on spending no more than 100$ on a Balisong. But I'm still deciding on which to get. Which balisong do you recommend that's under a price of 100$

  • @jordancookie7864

    Maybe aluminum? 440 stainless? There has to be an alternative.

    @super00141 13 років тому

    @blueray301 the 42 is the best so far, but no one knows much about the 62, it hasn't been released yet. but the 62 is rumoured to be the BM42 with newer technology. don't quote me on the though.

  • @cruelchris3099

    could you also start with a bear and sons just to see if you like flipping. not that I need one , because i'm not a beginner anymore.
