    One of my first knives was an unbranded "gas station" butterfly knife that I bought as a teenager. I carried it a lot and I still have it with me in my collection. The blade is full of scratches and even burn marks. Fun times

    I really appreciate a video like this from a big knife distributor like blade hq and think it’s good for opening up the Bali community to more people. However I see some room for improvement in the list and video that I think should be corrected.
    1. even though the vulp doesn’t have a latch you can still know where the bit handle is due to the bottle opener. Latches also tremendously improves flipping and the vulp comes with tunable bushings and extra hardware meant for learning and beginners.
    2. If you buy anything from boker you will be severely disappointed with quality control and durability of the knife. The knives don’t hold tolerances and aren’t regarded very well in the community.
    3. The Luchas are way to heavy to flip and have to be modded to make them flippable so not good for beginners. Carbon fiber Luchas also held together with a pin sooo…not good have fun prying your $300 knife apart.
    4. Just…don’t buy from bear and sons…just pls don’t. If your going to drop 120 on a knife get something from bbarfly, glidr or squid even if you have to wait. Squids stuff is mostly in stock all the time. Just…no bear and sons.
    5. In my personal opinion buying a live blade as your first Bali is dangerous especially if you don’t know how to treat a regular pocket knife. I highly recommend getting a trainer. If it gets you into the hobby trust me it won’t be the last knife you buy. Get a live further down your flipping journey.

      I agree with this list, as far as beginners go i would still flip live blade just not super sharp off the bat. I’d just have something sharp enough to Nick you but not enough to give you stitches til you get better

    As a flipper, get the vulp, avoid the bear and sons/bear ops, cf lucha isn’t really worth it, I’d recommend the regular lucha with the aftermarket aluminum channel handles and the tali is always a good choice but is a little harder to get

    The Lucha is a fun knife that's great if you're like me, not a big bali guy but a big knife guy and want to have one good example of a functional balisong knife. But I can't imagine flipping it for fun without changing out the handles. Incidentally, that's exactly what I did, haha. But I also bought another one and left it stock, I like the knife that much.
    I'm going to try one of the Squiddies, specifically the black one with the noise reducing hardware. I might actually learn something if I have a non knife to practice the motion with now and again. Main reason I don't really do it that often is people don't like it when you flip and spin a knife around, but the Squid looks nothing like a knife at all.

    And for our last beginner bali we have a 10lb lucha with a razor sharp double sided dagger blade sitting atop two 20lb handles and for the ultra pros 6 latches to help you be flippy with the knive. The 6th latch doubles as a self defense blunt force object.

    I definitely wouldn't recommend a Lucha to a beginner, it's fast, heavy, and hard to control. It is a good balisong, but not a great dedicated flipper. I do think it's a GREAT knife for someone who is a bit more advanced, with multiple flippers- A few hours with a Lucha will make your flippers feel that much easier to manipulate and change directions with.

  • @LateNightFlipping
    @LateNightFlipping Рік тому +3

    Unfortunately the advice you gave was not the best and it shows that you do not flip regularly. If anyone is looking to get into balisong flipping and wants one off of this list just buy the vulp. If you are going to spend $150 or more on a balisong go for BRS, SquidIndustries etc. If you have any questions just comment and I can answer them.
