only on the squid industries balis, i can’t figure out how..

[@Lunar360]

The quickdraw, opening, icepick quickdraw, and latch drop was easy to learn. The icepick opening got me tripping

[@mewosm]

have been trying to do it for a long time

Nice! Been flipping and using balisongs for 35 years. Figured out the ice pick as a kid long before KZbin, and I do it differently. Pinch where thumb meets hand, let handle swing, move thumb, close hand. Faster and easier IMO. But I'm going to learn your way just to have options. Just bought a Krake Raken, time to check out more of your tutorials.

[@precisiongaming2832]

TYSM! This helped my brain understand the opening better!

[@LastBastian]

@@precisiongaming2832 You're welcome!

[@Firelight423]

I love how well you explain everything!!! I'm about to get a balisong and wanted to know a few tricks before I even had the knife. I looked at a few videos and you're the first one I found that didn't go straight from basic opening to flipping around your hand multiple times.

[@Osborne4Life]

#squid please, continue more of these trick learning videos. You’re the leading balisong manufacturer, so the thousands that buy your product would love to learn the tricks. :)

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Hey Bryan, we definitely intend to make more of these. Let us know what you think we can do to improve them! - Lucas

[@jeffreybaresic1452]

@@SquidIndustriesco Lucas you are my favorite don’t tell the others, although they are awesome too

[@jones5970]

Big fan of the silver/black two tone. Thanks for the comprehensive explanations.

[@M8cool]

Got my first trainer today and one thing that I noticed is all the transitions involve having to reverse/twist the handle to return to the closed position. Focusing on achieving this really made me understand the movement and flow of the trainer, and managed to learn 3 of the openings today (obviously after doing multiple failed reps for hours haha)

[@SomeRandomDude821]

#squid I've been flipping for around a month, so I've definitely seen these and repped them to a fairly comfortable point, but I cannot overstate how much I'd appreciate pov, slowmo, LEFTY demonstrations, exponentially so as the difficulty scales. Please keep these up, and thank you for saving me the mental reversing! EDIT: By the way, the audio on this vid was a little muffled. It's perfectly understandable, but just thought I'd let you know.

[@bradlysnyder8226]

I remember learning the basic opening with the close by my mom and stepdad who passed when I was like 11

[@clif42cc]

I feel like a child but I'm slowly getting it. Thanks for the explanations for us uncoordinated folks

[@MsLoquendo20]

I bought mine yesterd, but instead of being a normal training one, mine is a balisong that is also a hair comb (just to be more practical )

[@psychopot22]

Me too so i can bring the balisong into school😂

[@JaxonGerard-st9wv]

I just got three balisong trainers on Jul 17 and I've been looking for an easy and simple tricke

[@froggerzot_Alt]

I'm only beginning now, but these are very useful in depth tutorials, and they are a great way to start flipping.

[@kkaelyn002]

#squid Cool to see Jelly, Andre and Seiji working in the industry alongside Lucas, even if they don't make the knives themselves. that's what i love about squid, they merge the community with the industry which is always good to see

[@TailyonDaath]

I appreciate the more step by step method that you are showing. I have tried to watch some other tutorials on the basic tricks and even with them slowed down they are explaining on the twist or turns aspect of the tricks.

[@Brian-qn2mx]

Can’t wait even though I I know advance tricks

[@yeetmaster3987]

yea

[@Ratdog333]

[@Negativeauramemes]

Have y'all advanced? Cause i just received mine and i can't wait to learn tricks! @Brian1234

[@slixflips1012]

#squid Love how in depth yet straight forward and simple the tutorial is. I already know it’s gonna help people a lot when y’all get into the more advanced tricks

[@tyrussisco9891]

#squid Dang dude, I love the way you ended that combo at the end of the video, how you went from an aerial, into a fan, and then reversed the fan and into a shortstop. Looked pretty sick. 😎 Keep up the sick flips!

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Thanks for the kind words 🙏-Jelly

[@TTChopper848]

I love how smooth the movements are, it remind me of spinning a gun

[@randomassmomentsingames]

i struggled with the basic and icepick opening (just opening the blade, closing it is easier for me now), but every other trick i was able to get somewhat correct. Thank you so much for making this guide for me!

[@TailyonDaath]

Finally got the basic opening working consistently. Left handed not too good yet, but the right hand I can open and close consistently. Now to just get the ice pick technique to work.

[@Frablous]

Thank you! Great tutorial. Picked up a bali for the first time and learned all 5 tricks in 1-2 hours. Fun :)

[@antikiiwii]

so smooth I didn't even notice the bandaid guest appearence

[@jakerozier77]

Why assume I’m new? I just love Bali content ❤ SQUID RULES! THANKS LUCAS 🙏

[@NaughtiusMaximu5]

i got a balisong because they're quick to open, and the well built ones are alot more sturdy than flip knives. bonus for using it kinda like a fidget toy. i take mine whenever i'm hiking or camping and it's been extremely useful from prepping meals, to eating, to general utility. used it for 3 years and it hasn't failed yet, unlike similarly priced flip knives

[@escorpianoyqueee]

The basic opening is the only one I liked, started at morning, by afternoon I got mastered. cool tutorial

[@AngelsDeathFromAbove]

#Squid I’ve been practicing the QuickDraw for almost an hour and I’ve perfected it in such a short time! Thank you for this tutorial, this is something I really needed.

[@atrocity3461]

This tutorial is amazing, and it's so helpful with my new Squiddy-U!

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Glad we were able to help!

[@nelsonbrum8496]

Finally some tutorials! The only guy I knew that flipped was back in 1989, and he didn't teach me much. I made my first "trainer" out of an aluminum window screen frame and hand carved wood "blade," using bailing wire for pivots. I have an old all steel trainer, but a #SQUID dy would play nicer with hardwood floors and at work while my Haas runs. LOL

[@Aether-vm3mn]

I dont care what other people think about your knifes I absolutely love them

[@johny7082]

#squid definitely need a plastic trainer for flipping in public places or in travel And good tutorial, I wish I could find tutorials like this when I was starting to flip

[@blu_223]

bailsong tricks are the kind of stuff that normal people see on youtube, gets impressed by it, try it out, then immediately drop it after 5 minutes of using it, like yoyo tricks, breakdancing, etc lmao

[@kaz_araya7960]

Let's Goooo. Squid Industries Finally making a tutorial vid. Damn you guys are really bringing Balisong Flipping to the next level. #squid :D

[@deathmuffin4324]

#Squid you guys are making some great content with these new tutorials, keep it up. I hope to buy a Krake Raken soon!

[@markdavidmagat9866]

My tip for first timers is be patient. It'll take a bit of time for your whole hand to be that flexible and precise and if the first week or month it feels sloppy or bad, we've all been there! Keep going guys!

[@sierrafn9383]

This is the best butterfly knife company :)

just got me a squiddy, i used to have a balisong knife a year or 2 ago, barely used it though and didn't know how to really use it, I'm excited for my squiddy to come in

[@oggynoggyn3886]

Flipping clip in the video always smooth

[@Adventure_Outdoors_with_Lucky]

I got the Squiddy-U and am on day 3 learning the icepick opening now. It’s making muscle memory so it causes cramps 😂 just a little further insight for you guys. To get these tricks, you build muscle memory. You can’t know how to do it and think you got everything in 5 minutes. It takes at least 20 minutes to start landing them. Then, you learn to add power and you start to get faster. This video has me learning quick. That first time I landed the icepick opening……..that click. M!

[@l4dfanatic11]

these vids will not only help me with my tricks once i get my trainer (i already learned the thumbrollover using an old real one, fun trick) but the angle is nice for animation reference!

[@fieldsofgaming5643]

I’ve been thinking about buying some practice butterfly knives and this made me actually buy it

[@bryceword1768]

The music at the beginning was cool.

[@joerivas9219]

I’m right handed struggling w/it. Then switch(pun intended) to my left hand and got them pretty smoothly. 🤘🏼🤣🌎

Finally checked it off my to learn list. Thanks a ton! Great tutorial even for a lefty

[@plasmax5144]

Im using balisong im just a beginner and this is how cool these tricks are

[@JoeBlow-ub1us]

I know this video has been out for a while but it would be really helpful if you guys could put different colored pieces of tape around the safe handle and the bite handle so it's even easier to tell which is which when watching or rewinding. it's a bit hard to spot the bite handle indicator easily. Thanks for the video.

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Thanks for the feedback Joe!

[@stevejordan544]

I can tell someone's a professional at this when I see a bandaid covering their entire right middle finger

[@ramonlijauco7563]

Best to use a traditional balisong with the lock. That way you actually practice a draw from the pocket or waistband. It's also easier to keep track of the "blade" side because the catch is always the side that you can open the lock with your pinky in the traditional opening.

[@RJWolfeStunts]

#squid - Squid team out here killing it!

[@eexiledd587]

damn thanks for this content, helped me out so much. I bought one and didn't know how to use one and i watched your videos and learned most tricks in minutes. Thanks!
