On the second twirl you show (5:50), why would you start out holding the bite handle? You could do the same move starting with the safe handle and it seems like it would be safer.
I use to owna cudeman balil its a spanish company, better than other cheapos, but it was not that comfrotable to hold, the scasles were sort of sharp on the sides, but it did hold together longer than other cheapos, its up to you...
Very good instructional video! You explained very well without skipping out on any steps. You seem very nice and encourage those of us who are beginners. You are very good with balisongs! Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials!
I must say, I have already learned 5 different tricks in three days despite my zero experience with Balisongs. They run pretty smoothly already. All this thanks to your videos. Well, I have played around with fixed blades since early childhood, so that might count for something, but nonetheless your videos are very good and informative. So, my sincerest thanks to you, cutlerylover.
balisongs or "buterfly knives" are legal to own in Cali, but if you want to carry it in public it has to have a 2" blade or less, which the BM42 doesnt as long as you keep it in your house its fine to have and order...
Benchmade model 42, and I got it from a website called newgraham but they no logner sell to citizens sicne this is illegal in most palces so I wodul suggest a search or buy one from a store called onestopknifeshop, average price wil be ebtween $175 - $200...
nope, same thgin, jst 2 different names butterfly knife is just an american name for it, balisong is the Filipino term for this style knife so its more accureate but both mean the same thing...
yh sadly that was exactly what was thinking but they are read the second point from this SOURCE: www.gov.uk/find-out-if-i-can-buy-or-carry-a-knife Knives that are illegal There is a complete ban on the sale of some knives: .flick knives (also called ‘switchblades’ or ‘automatic knives’) - where the blade is hidden inside the handle and shoots out when a button is pressed .butterfly knives - where the blade is hidden inside a handle that splits in two around it, like wings; the handles swing around the blade to open or close it .disguised knives - eg where the blade is hidden inside a belt buckle or fake mobile phone .gravity knives .sword-sticks .samurai swords (with some exceptions, including antiques and swords made to traditional methods before 1954) .hand or foot-claws .push daggers .hollow kubotan (cylinder-shaped keychain) holding spikes .shuriken (also known as ‘death stars’ or ‘throwing stars’) .kusari-gama (sickle attached to a rope, cord or wire) .kyoketsu-shoge (hook-knife attached to a rope, cord or wire) .kusari (weight attached to a rope, cord or wire) This is not a complete list of banned knives. Contact your local police to check if a knife is illegal or not.
Falloutman27 They're also illegal in Canada. They ban all the cool weapons that were generally used by criminals in movies, because of how 'scary' they are.
I was just talking about how stupid UK laws towards knives are. You know you're laws are shit if a burglar can threaten you with a knife but you basically can't use anything to defend yourself.
Good chance that the laws in the UK will be like how they are in Australia in that you can have a folding knife that is apart of a tool i.e pocket knife. The point of making these knives illegal was so that burglars, as the above post put it, won't have access to these. I'm not saying I agree, that's just the political rationale.
yes I am aware of butterfly knives, usually come in a set of 2 large broad blade and large guards, but most outside the martial art community dotn even know about them, I am reffering to butterfly knife as the american version fo baliosng...
XceR Yautja I really did. I've had my balisong for 2 or 3 weeks now and I've learned blender, helix, hellish, helbent, behind the 8 ball, and a lot of basic tricks. It's not that hard. I learned the Y2K on my first day
Ishmule TV Y2K is so hard for me to do and i still haven't done it once. I don't know if its because i have kid hands or i am just not able to grab it.
Hmm Im ntko sure soudns liek maybe you ned to ad some oil to the pivots to make them more smooth so the handle can rotate around the blade and move easily...the problem is cheapos always have problems this is just one of them...
Build a lego one, that's what I did. You can exploit the missing pieces section, which is used for getting pieces lost in manufacturing, entirely free. (But you do have to wait.. I waited 4 weeks)
thepoultrypeople Yeah. I saw a few at Silver Dollar City's Knife shop (Complete Rip-off, they were chinese, buy em online) which is as close to mainstream balisong selling from what I've seen
i bought one from ebay? i think for about $14 shipped, cheap and chearful enough to practice with, the comb though is total pain on a beard, really harsh, eye watering...
Nice tuts, im into Butterfly knives, and they are really helping me Hey ,I have a question out of bounds, Have you ever used knife in a fight situation? just my curiosity ...
when youre rotating it away from your thumb as youre pinching the handle, you can roll the handle using your thumb against your finger. or you can twist your wrist ever so slightly to make it swing that way. either way is fine, but knowing both ways is crucial to learning tricks and having more control
Good videos, the blank background is perfect, I like your step by step instuctions, very detailed. My teacher just gave me an old Bali-Song and the only thing I remember is the horizontal flip opening, so your videos are great to give me something else to do. I've seen some of your other stuff, knife reviews and such so I came right back here when I got my knife. Thanks dude, keep up the good work, I'm gonna subscribe.
Hi, nice vid ^^ I have a problem with my knife, it simply doesnt want to spin nicely. I mean one grip doesnt want to go all the way araound when I try to spin it. Does it require some extra force or my knife shoul be balanced that it will do it itself? Thanks for help.
You mentioned being imperfect when it comes to learning some of these tricks, so I had an honest question a friend and myself were wondering: on average, how often do you drop your bali in, say, an hour or two of practice?
Thanks man. I got this down in under 10 minutes. I'm no expert, I just started learning some tricks for a film project I'm going to shoot. I attribute my quick learning to the clarity of your instructions. Thanks again. =]
Try wild bill wholesale. If your not looking to spend much. And get the heavy duty version. They have basic flipper and heavy duty. The heavy duty is better quality. The are about 10 bucks but pretty good. Like 5x better than some 30 dollar knife I got from San Francisco. Or you could go to bladehq but spend a lot more.
im trying to learn this move now going preety nice btw my latch is loose unlike your knife(where the latch is with a spring right?)my knife is a cheapo(kinda) so the latch moves freely what do you suggest? i was thinking about removing it but for many trick you need th latch and without it i will have a harder time recognizing the safe handle so any suggestions?
that is called a t latch, i have the same kinda one, it is usaully found on cheaper knives and can get in the way some times. With the twirl, when you do the last move to twirl it back, the latch can get between the two handles but once you get goos at it, you should be able to twirl fast enough to where this is no longer a problem.
man you made this so easy to learn ive already learned 4 tricks in probably 30 minutes i have picked this up really fast but i have a question, my knife has a lot of loose play with the handles and the blade, is it supposed to be like that it makes things a little difficult to keep controlle of, and my latch keeps flopping around sometimes getting in the way
you have the most informative, clear, and precise Balisong trick instructionals ever! if i want to learn a trick, i always refer to your videos Cutlerylover
Balisong is a butterfly knife. here in the philippines, it only costs about 100-150php (about 2.50 dollars) ( and if bought from its origin province, batangas). Better check first if this kind of knife is legal in your place because in some place it is illegal.
wow thank you so much for these tutorials... im pretty new to balisong i can do a few tricks. anyways i watched this video and learned this in about 10 minutes. BY FAR THE BEST TUTORIAL VIDS FOR BALISONG thanks again
tricks aside balisongs are one of the strongest folding designs known to man...a simple opening then locked open its a great user knife for utility as for defense I love balisongs but for me there a no go unless all your going for is intimidation but I woudlnt call anyones blufff, nothgin beats a good fixed blade for SD
@RockMySrocks Actually they're NOT CCC's lol they are made here in the USA and are solid one piece milled out handle. And yes they won't last as long as a benchmade but MUCH longer than any "Crappy, China, Cheapo".
It's called a "Trainer" balisong. Cutlerylover has some reviews on these special practice knives, and you can find them online for about 12-18 USD. Since they don't have sharpened blades, they don't count as knives of any kind and are thus exempt from knife laws.
I used to handle balisongs back in college, but it had been a few years and I decided to purchase the Bradley Kimura. I must say, after a little lubricating of the hinges and working it out, it's a really fun knife; I notice when I do this move (and some others) I have a tendency to want to turn my hand and do the move sideways instead of frontways -- is this something I should try to correct or just go with?
Just picked up a butterfly knife for the first time today. Watched this tutorial, could totally do this within about an hour of practice :D Awesome tutorial
@cutlerylover might i sugjest starting these videos with the trick, i mean they are only, what, 5 seconds long? then we can get a look at it and know what to expect right from the bat. great explainations btw.
Neat stuff, and very informative. Hell, I searched for butterfly knife not even knowing it was called a Balisong. After spending an hour twirling my knife around while watching a movie I can do the first move pretty confidently and can do the first half of the second one. The whole "bite edge around the thumb twirl and spin to grip" part is a little daunting at the moment. Now I have to go find people to impress.
@XKarateKatX some might say yhes other woudl say no I dotn care nothgin wrogn with not wanting to get cut, BUT never wear gloces...it will take away your sensativity and handling, instead tape the blade with maskign tape and use a bare hand
this was extremely helpful! i got a knife today and i couldnt do jack, after watching this and with a little practice, i can do it pretty well. thanks dude.
I didnt check but it probably is the Benchmade model 42 is aboiut the most used balisong in the balisong community among people who do this as a hobby./..
Do you know if there's any tool like a balisong, but without a blade? you know, like a toy, or something? I really want to do stuff like this, but without having to do it with an actual weapon/tool.
These r the best balisong tutorials i hav found on youtube. wats the best site to buy balisongs? please let me know i hav a sandwich style one and it keeps sticking need a new one asap. thnx for the tips.
Thanks for these vids sir! I just got a balisong recently (twas on sale i know dont' do it but hay, it seems solid) and i got this move down in about 20 minutes. Great instruction.
Hey jeff, love your videos. I was just wondering if you or anyone here has had experience with a benchfit balisong? i just ordered one, looked very nice but am curious as to the overall quality.
Thanks man, your tutorials helped me a lot getting into it. I can almost do the helix completely now thanks to your help in advancing my skills when i first started! :)
I love how detailed you got into the explanation dude, thank you! I've just gotten myself a pair of trainers to start learning this stuff... Perhaps when I get good enough I might actually purchase the real thing. Keep up the good work!
I really like the way you slowed it down and explained it I learnt this in like 5 minutes thank-you XD I'm using a wooden balisong made from popsicle sticks with can make some things harder
hey im a guy starting high shool looking for a cheap butterfly knife of high quality. ive been playing with a pair of scissors from like 1960 for a while now and was wondering your recomendations on cheap good butterfly knives
i am about to get a balisong. i would like your advice on a cheap yet durable, channel construction balisong. looks dont matter to much but i would prefer both the blade and handle be silver thank you.
I'm looking to get a real knife now (i've been practicing with a dulled trainer i got off ebay) but I don't have the money for something a great as a benchmade... I'm looking for something around $40, but I can't seem to find anything. I'm only seeing cheapos, and things past the $150 range. is there any middle ground you know of?
Who else finds the clicking noise of balisongs so delightful!
Unanimity finds the song of balisong very delightful.
I do

Your lungs

they are so easy to get just go on any knife forum and people will be flooding your email with pictures of them
mark qaza that is a bm42 they cost +350 dollars and are quite rare. there are billions of fake copys that break after a day
I know what knife it is i know how much it costs i see them all the time on knife forums they are not that rare.
the holes are for makign the handles lighter and for show, I dont see anyhonje use the holes to create new tricks but its an interesting idea...
can you twerk with balisong?

Wouldn't the back of the blade bruise your finger or something?
If you did the move over and over again yes
+GreatGames Did it for like ten minutes straight to get better and it really hurts the index finger
I wonder if it can get worse than bruising.
+Riviter Z like what

yh sadly that was exactly what was thinking but they are read the second point from this
SOURCE: www.gov.uk/find-out-if-i-can-buy-or-carry-a-knife
Knives that are illegal
There is a complete ban on the sale of some knives:
.flick knives (also called ‘switchblades’ or ‘automatic knives’) - where the blade is hidden inside the handle and shoots out when a button is pressed
.butterfly knives - where the blade is hidden inside a handle that splits in two around it, like wings; the handles swing around the blade to open or close it
.disguised knives - eg where the blade is hidden inside a belt buckle or fake mobile phone
.gravity knives
.sword-sticks
.samurai swords (with some exceptions, including antiques and swords made to traditional methods before 1954)
.hand or foot-claws
.push daggers
.hollow kubotan (cylinder-shaped keychain) holding spikes
.shuriken (also known as ‘death stars’ or ‘throwing stars’)

Balisong isnt hard

Ishmule TV Y2K is so hard for me to do and i still haven't done it once. I don't know if its because i have kid hands or i am just not able to grab it.

Hmm Im ntko sure soudns liek maybe you ned to ad some oil to the pivots to make them more smooth so the handle can rotate around the blade and move easily...the problem is cheapos always have problems this is just one of them...

thumbs up if you dont have a balisong
i hated watching these videos thinking,"crap, i wish i could at least try it"
Build a lego one, that's what I did. You can exploit the missing pieces section, which is used for getting pieces lost in manufacturing, entirely free. (But you do have to wait.. I waited 4 weeks)
its usually legal to buy the comb versions

I like how your commentary is very practical and confident. It makes trying the moves that much easier. ;)
they are knives and are used to cut stuff just like any other knife its just that people made a hobby out of different ways to open and close it...
Thanks alot man, first tutorial that actually explained the trick proper... I've been so frustrated by the other tutorials, but you're awesome!
practicing using a vuja de, took about 15 minutes of straight practicing. thanks for all the help!

so any suggestions?
I agree, its quick and once ope it is much stronger than any OTF auto...but for self defense nothgin beats a fixed blade...
thanks jeff this vid really helped me i just got my balisong 3 days ago of of bladplay and ive been watching your tutorials nonstop
that is called a t latch, i have the same kinda one, it is usaully found on cheaper knives and can get in the way some times. With the twirl, when you do the last move to twirl it back, the latch can get between the two handles but once you get goos at it, you should be able to twirl fast enough to where this is no longer a problem.
Cant believe this is the video that brought me to your channel all those years ago, and I'm still subbed to today! great times

Thanks for these vids sir! I just got a balisong recently (twas on sale i know dont' do it but hay, it seems solid) and i got this move down in about 20 minutes. Great instruction.
hmm nice, but my spyderfly keeps loosening up and after about 6 moves I gotta tighten it again. is there something wrong with it?
Hey jeff, love your videos. I was just wondering if you or anyone here has had experience with a benchfit balisong? i just ordered one, looked very nice but am curious as to the overall quality.
GOOD WORK I LOVE IT ;D i learned it in 10 min :D keep the work up also is a flee market a good place get switch blade cutlery? -REPLY plz
Thanks man, your tutorials helped me a lot getting into it. I can almost do the helix completely now thanks to your help in advancing my skills when i first started! :)
How long did it take you to get used to the bruising and swelling from the bite handle hitting your hand
I love how detailed you got into the explanation dude, thank you! I've just gotten myself a pair of trainers to start learning this stuff... Perhaps when I get good enough I might actually purchase the real thing. Keep up the good work!
I really like the way you slowed it down and explained it I learnt this in like 5 minutes thank-you XD I'm using a wooden balisong made from popsicle sticks with can make some things harder
hey im a guy starting high shool looking for a cheap butterfly knife of high quality. ive been playing with a pair of scissors from like 1960 for a while now and was wondering your recomendations on cheap good butterfly knives
i am about to get a balisong. i would like your advice on a cheap yet durable, channel construction balisong. looks dont matter to much but i would prefer both the blade and handle be silver thank you.
thx a lot man ! I just bought myself a balisong yesterday, and i find your videos realy worth seeing, they're very helpfull !!
like what? I'm learning index and thumb rollover and the basic aerial. what tricks are you talking about? :)
@jjjj4417 good question. 440 steel IS cheap, but 440C is not. i don't know how to answer your second question, but...
I'm looking to get a real knife now (i've been practicing with a dulled trainer i got off ebay) but I don't have the money for something a great as a benchmade... I'm looking for something around $40, but I can't seem to find anything. I'm only seeing cheapos, and things past the $150 range. is there any middle ground you know of?
@gulfambar What do you mean "original"? And when you say "that knife", do you mean his knife or butterflies in general?
Are you using some kind of motion tracking system in your video it seems like their is
