@@PenjaminFranklinn Dude, it's less than $40 with shipping, what do you expect? Also these knives are pretty tough, people treat the knives like trash and then they end up breaking. Give some care and thought it may last up to a year or more surprisingly. And to note some Bear & Sons knives (particularly Bear OPS in this case), are amazing, like the B-800.
@@bluestscrew7833 actually my friend has a bear ops b400, that thing is kind of a tank and it flips pretty dang well too. its still worth investing in a more expensive balisong imo for flipping and durability. i had a squid trainer a bit ago and for $150 it would not break, and i beat it.
Video was really good. I remember having my first butterfly be a bear and sons. Butterfly's are my favorite knife and I wish I could buy more if they weren't so expensive. Keep up the great work.
@@grimssouls3897 They're really the only durable balisong in the 100 dollar market. I just would like them to use a better base steel like 440c, 154cm or 14c28n instead of their mystery 440(440a). Or learn to thin out their 1095 blades. I own two and they're reasonably good flippers, but poor knives for cutting and slicing.
lol brs would just be them sitting on the sofa eating cheetos for 9 months an 2 of the months would be making bare bones 2 weeks would be bare bones trainers and last two weeks would be making what everyone wants :P
He doesnt know how to flip, if anyone here actually knows how to use a butterfly knife you would know he is holding the bite handle half the time (the side the blade is sharp) therefore the blade must be dull or he would have cut himself multiple times
@@zcrx4899 Lol, the philipines is just the country of origin of balisongs, doesn't mean that genuine makers of balisongs make fake knives if they aren't from the Philippines. There are plenty of quality knife makers based out of the US, Russia, Japan, and all sorts of countries. Pretty narrow mindset bud.
MigZ MiGs just because it was from the Philippines doesn’t always mean that it is gonna be good, let’s take chocolate for example, originated in Mexico but is not even in the top ten for best chocolate makers also balisongs are illegal in the Philippines
Yessss!!! I have TWO Bear & Sons Cutlery and even made a review video for the G-17! Awesome knife company! I also have the B-400-ALBD-B raindrops model and got it refurbished for $25.00! Love the vid Blade HQ
I have one of your single edge bevel tanto tips. Awesome knife. Put it through a car door with minimal effort. And it was free. Found it in front of my local Wal-Mart after some cops drove away.
The shear quantity of the pieces being produced and the way they were thrown around, just make the knives look/seem meaningless to me. I think it's sometimes best for the customers to NOT know how "the sausage is made." So much automation and so little effort putting these knives together. Really hard to see how a owner would feel like they're getting something special after watching the video. I'm not a fan of balisongs, so what the hell do I know... lol
I kind of had the opposite reaction. With the way automation is heading I thought it was endearing how much humans were involved in the process, especially given that the factory is located in a first world country. Also, I think there is a certain appeal to mass produced objects of thoughtful economical design and a fair price. Not saying that is necessarily the case in this example, but in general.
The quality will not be top notch. No heat treatment no hammering on the blades. The steel was punch out instead of traditional which affect the blade's quality
Hellhound878 or it IS better to know “how sausages are made”. So that you can choose/ make decisions with all the knowledge on the subject if you want to consume the product. Goes for balisongs. Gotta know how they were made to appreciate good ones.
This is only for pin and channel construction though. I would love to see some more intricate blades, like a Benchmade 51 or something. Those have quite a few different parts, plus we'd get to see their ano process.
Great video going to share it. Will made knife one of the Best made Butterfly knives you can own. and remember the Block's Knife sharpener will help you keep the original cutting edge as sharp as new for a long time. keeping original edges is all ways the best for any knife.
My Bear and Son bali has a similar handle and a damascus steel (looking) blade and the handle is wayyy to soft. Whatever the handle is made of can be bent with two hands and will crumble with pretty much any force. Getting a BRS or a Benchmade is worth the extra penny. Bear and Son is disappointing
@unrepeatable raddish wdym only a few? If you look at b&s section on bladehq, almost all of their balis are the ones shown in the video, which has zinc handles. Sure some are alum, but not most of them.
@@nalujuk I understand it's a figure of speech, but english isn't my first language and I thought it meant a bit more money The difference is so high it seemed misused to me
So i need some help from the balisong community. I am planning on buying a Benchmade model 62 and i want to flip latchless but i dont have much experience with the balisong hardware (specifically Benchmades). So does any 1 really know? I think they are press fit correct? anyways would i need to remove whole bite handle to get the latch? or is there a specific/easier way i could remove it? If any 1 has answers to any of these questions please let me know. Thank u to all who help me out
Jesus I never seen so many people working so hard to not do actual work. Society has become lazy everyone wants a machine or someone else to do things for them. Out of the knives I have made all were hand filed to shape, bevel was hand filed, steel was hand picked, literally every job these folks had a machine to do for them I can actually say I have not used to do the exact same task. But then again thats what makes my knives worth more cause folks know when hard work has been applied and it shows.
France actually, at the time France and Spain had a treaty. Spanish sailors carried them and introduced them to the Philippines, where they then became more mainstream.
One question can high end butterfly knives be used as an actual knife. Or are the blades just crap so they can be used for tricks? No disrespect to fippers what you guys do is amazing.
Who doesn't love "How It's Made" ???? This was fun :)
Family friendly people doesnt love it
Explain the 46 people who disliked it.
I only dis liked to make it 69
Too bad it's just shit quality control
I love how it's made
Would love to see how a high quality balisong is made. No offense to bear and sons.
Full offense to them
Cast zinc handles, no way to adjust blade play, absolute trash grinds on the blade. Not a knife you'd want to get.

yeah cus the handles are made of zinc

You should have went where it was originally made, in Batangas, Philippines.
There's also a sword version of it and it's very beautiful.

Filipino classic balisong numba 1
Brs second
Also Filipino balisongs flips like a Alpha beast
Ferb I know what I want to do today!
Such beauty in a single video. The balisong is and always will be my favorite weapon
Awesome video, hope to see more in the future!
My brother just bought him and I matching butterfly knives and we really like them
That video was so cool!
probably did bear and song because if they did brs everyone would realize it's overpriced for the little bit of work they do
They are 60-80$ top
Very nice video.
Epic music but bear n sons/bear ops dont deserve this! Shoulda shown BRS, or HOM!
Naot tsaab BRS IS BAE
Really fun video.
Pretty beautiful knives
I want to see how it's made, HANDMADE. But both mesmerizing to watch get assembled.
I'm actually looking at a Bear and Son's trainer Balisong on your website!
Good for mass production, bad for putting your heart and soul into your work.
Never been to Alabama but now when I think of that state all I think about is my shity ass bear and Sons with a broken handle
Do Bladerunnerssystems
Tell Luci. We're game.
now you gotta show how a real balisong is make. go visit blade runner systems
toxic flipper or benchmade
crack jack one has quality control and the other doesnt
Or u know... Traditional
crack jack 2 of them actually make quality knives, the other doesn’t. Pinned construction? Really?
Mircotech too

yooooooo so coooolllll
Just bought a Bear Ops VIII Tanto two days ago.
Cool video thanks!
Cool video Blade HQ! U should do more of these^^ Or one on SOG knives
Tanner Rangel or brs
wtf was that blue thing at the end?
where are my man's shoulders 3:20
I should buy it now:3
Lol at all of the balisong snobs.
I have one of those hammered finished ones. I had to reshape it because the fit changes over time for some reason
BladeHQ is the best ! I'm gonna soon buy a Para 3 with a kydex sheath
but how do they make the handles tho?
Very Nice... Too bad we can't get them here in Australia.

Seeing the bandaid on the guy’s finger at the end certainly shows the filming of that final part wasn’t perfect
Wish there was a narrator with a monochromatic voice to explain the entire process like How its made does it
How much would a bear and son balisong cost
$20-$40.

Beautifil knives where can i get one
what kind of rivet device was that?
Balisong also known as Butterfly knife are originated in the Philippines
It actually is a French invention, brought to the Philippines by Spanish sailors.
*Cool!*
I thought they stamp them from sheet metal, put many of them together and weld them
So there isn't an heat treating process?
Would love to work here now lol
Very good this video!!
still the best, the original balisong made in the philippines :)
this shit looks like it hurts the user more than the opponent
i swear this is the best fucking job in the world
What state are these being made in??
Fun Fact: A butterfly knife / balisong was originally from Philippines.
Whats the song Called?

awesome
Pause at 3:43 that kids hands are dug. Right. Up. God damn man
but can they flip tho
how much does it cost ???
are all models sharp?
Bear and son makes trainers and live blades alike!
Is bear and sons a good company, I was think I h about getting one?
Yes, I just got my 114 yesterday and I love it.
No save up for a brs or benchmade if you are serious about flipping

Where I can buy it

The4cp Most high quality balis have extremely sharp and durable blades that keep their edge for a long time
For sure.. even the lower end balis have decent steel
Many high end balisongs have high end blade steels that keep an excellent edge and resist damage even when being dropped so often
