i love your tutorials, no 7 minute bullshit for a move that take at most 3 mins to explain, keep it up

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Rice XE thank you 👊🏻 glad you liked it

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Fredrik Ervik Dybvik thank you very much 👊🏻😄

[@kayj312]

Rice XE this one is too short imo

[@sheongsheong]

50 Blades of Grey pls reply,when I do the last part I pinch my thumb,even I pinch my finger nail,need help

[@tylerbeard4092]

maria kot maybe hold the handle a little lower (or higher?)

[@PHNTMHIVE]

Mhm. “Behind the 8 Ball” Sounds pretty good *Clicks on the video* *sees first trick* *YEAH NEVERMIND*

[@50bladesofgrey43]

AndreasPlays CB:RO 😂 I swear it's not that bad

[@gbrain857]

i am a beginier and i do this ez

[@pp_slayer4837]

Man you can learn it quickly it is quite easy

[@tashi9844]

I also First Think omg it look so difucult but it isnt tho

[@kalecardenas9645]

Go slow I got in down in 5 minutes

[@koku2020]

This is the blade that he's using: BRS Premium Replicant ALT Balisong Butterfly Knife Blue G-10/Green Ti (4.5" SW)

[@doopfish2303]

omg 315 $ me when i saw the price : uhm BYE

[@H19Enduro]

Une table its arguably the best balisong out there so the price is kind of justified but i understand that it is alot

[@markomilovanovic9177]

nayr h19 thats my monthly salary so i guess im gonna stick to my 3$ one that i need to tighten after every 30 mins lmao

[@H19Enduro]

мать россии you should it's best to learn with the cheapest stuff possible and get good with that

[@JohnCarloRuiz]

Our classic balisongs hand forged in batangas philippines are the best. These ones might have better material and dimensions but nothing beats the classics.

[@paulterry22]

That is a BEAUTIFUL knife lol

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Dr. PuddingCups I'm defiantly lucky to have it 😅

[@paulterry22]

50 Blades of Grey how'd you get it?

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Dr. PuddingCups bought it when BRS did a release on bladehq.com a few months ago

[@RecycledLegacy]

50 Blades of Grey it breaks my heart that such a beautiful knife isn't available anymore

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Christopher West it tends to be in stock every 3 months or so, be on the lookout!

[@Ciel1820]

Personally my favorite trick, this one is Awesome for impressing friends as well!

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Ciel1820 one of my favorites as well, first real combo I learned

[@naijohn]

Cut my hand doing this,keep going,Success

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Himouto Umaru Doma never like to hear that 😞 but glad you got it down 😄

[@naijohn]

Kyenxos I use my knife when hiking and camping,But I'll see about buying a trainer :D

[@maniacminds2415]

if you dont have a trainer you can tape the blade

[@Martin-yh7vi]

That's why I'm starting out with a trainer first before thinking to buy a bladed one. Plus, my brothers keep messing with my stuff so they might find it and cut themselves with it without me knowing.

[@subjectstupid4027]

Same and I have a trainer

[@oldaccounttwo9794]

After flipping for around a year and a half, I finally learned The Behind The Eight Ball! This video helpped a whole lot. Thanks!

[@50bladesofgrey43]

PixelPeter _ awesome! It took me many months to learn it myself but it was such a cool feeling once I was actually able to do it

[@Zeosth]

Dude i tried to learn this in one day but then i see your comment “after flipping a year” FUCKKKK IM DONEE

[@kaustubh8489]

Bro i learnt it in a week

[@bhaskaramy605]

The problem while im learning this trick is that i always throw my knife

[@tienquang1405]

​@@bhaskaramy605hãy dùng tay còn lại để giữ và tưởng tượng cách nó di chuyển, sau đó làm chậm và nhanh dần, tôi đã làm được trong một buổi tối ( nên chơi trên giường để bảo vệ con dao của bạn )👍

[@arima4391]

gonna have too watch this 13 thousand times to understand the second part but still worth it thanks also i play it 0.25x speed and its still faster then the speed of light to me oh well cant wait to master this trick

[@50bladesofgrey43]

YourLie sorry bout that, I know I went a little fast in this video and I have tried to go slower in more recent videos to make it easier to follow along

[@Jacob-bk4md]

LOVE THE KNIFE

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Foot 5413 thank you!

[@alanbarnett328]

Still needs consistency and polish, but I've got the basics of the trick down in like 20 minutes and I've only been flipping a few days. Excellent tutorial! I really liked how you broke it into chunks! The second thumbaround was confusing watching the full combo, but split up it's much clearer how it works. Thanks for the breakdown!

[@psychotwist6662]

Thanks 50 blades ! I use your tutorials consistently. I started flipping at 14 and recently got back into it at 26. Using a live brs barebones and ive landed this move twice because of you !!

[@TisDoppel]

I love how the knife looks so simple but so beautiful at the same time

[@50bladesofgrey43]

HerpyDerp same! It's really relaxing for me to watch videos of people flipping balisongs or flip myself

[@orangebeholder4096]

So hard to transition but very satisfying when you get it right

[@50bladesofgrey43]

parkour panda agreed, the last one can trip you up, it even trips me up sometimes to but when you get it clean it feels so good

[@DrRandomStranger]

i've learned the zen rollover in two days and now almost got behind the eightball! great video! instant sub and like!

[@50bladesofgrey43]

phil anthrop Awesome, that's great progress! And thank you!

[@brandonlamb95]

I bought a trainer about a month ago and watched countless tutorials your videos are by far the best learned Zen rollover in a few hours from watching your video now trying to get the 8ball down and get a sharp blade

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Brandon Miller thank you for the kind words 😄 good to hear you were able to get it down, it's a fun one

[@sheongsheong]

50 Blades of Grey can you make a video of an illegal tricks for beginner plsss

[@H19Enduro]

Maria Kot no tricks are illegal

[@tryingtobebetter1923]

Brandon Miller if it took u hours to learn the roll over maybe the vids arent that great not trying to be rude but commenting my opinions nion

[@ahojcus9552]

Your turotials is best, I learned a lot of tricks LIKE

[@JusticeExplorer]

Ugh I love this trick

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Colin Babian as do I 😊

[@Semystic]

The names for these tricks (and mini combos) are strange. Looks really cool and easy!

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Semystic strange indeed but it's the terminology I see used most often

[@Sondrex009]

I love this channel. Its so "straight to the point" and thats what makes me like it. You also explain the trick very good and about 80% of all the tricks I know comes from you :) Btw thats a super cool knife! PS: Your channel name is genius!

[@AK74U29]

wooo this is such a fun one, got all the moves down but damn ur flow is so sick, after the first 10 seconds of this vid my jaw dropped. literally watched the first 10 secs over and over and every time i see it, it looks unbelievably smooth. sick vids man and beautiful knife

[@50bladesofgrey43]

AK thank you man 👊🏻 awesome that you could learn this one!

[@zacksanchez7226]

learned it in 15 tries helped me out alot, thanks.

[@50bladesofgrey43]

zack sanchez good to hear 👊🏻👍🏻

[@hmvoovmh6350]

I can do this trick as easily as i can do a zen rollover (so pretty easily) but for some reason, it looks cooler when you do it.

[@50bladesofgrey43]

H M V O O V M H it could just be a smoothness thing. With practice it will get smoother

[@wisse_5022]

Your such a beast at that so much respect. Peace from the netherlands👍🏼

[@christophsmaul5575]

[@wisse_5022]

Skryptex no they are illegal but is stil have one and orderd another one👍🏼

[@christophsmaul5575]

its so bad that there are not many cool trainers out there.... I only Know the Squid trainer ( a dream of mine xD) and some overpriced other trainers...

[@christophsmaul5575]

great video, still have not mastered it but can't wait to see your future​ videos. keep up the good work

[@50bladesofgrey43]

acidrain 3000 thank you, glad you enjoyed it 👊🏻 but keep at it, sometimes you have to practice till you get lucky and then you remember what it feels like and find yourself learning the trick in no time from there

[@merimackara]

it was so hard at first to see where the blade is maybe from that camera angle in the end but got it luckily after few minutes, ty for the video

[@supersupergerm]

I finally learned behind the 8 ball

[@7Voah]

These are really good tutorials! 👍 I can't wait for ones on tricks that I don't already know

[@50bladesofgrey43]

[@Clinterpottrmus]

I find it really cool how you reply to every single comment, I'm learning on a curved balisong, is it possible?

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Clinterpottrmus it's hard but I try! But you can learn on a curved Balisong, if just might make learning some tricks more difficult

[@nitro7023]

I think its actually easier for a curved handle but i will guess your using a cs go knife so prepare for pinching

[@gaymerbrando]

I hear that curved handle balisongs are hard to do tricks with, since the pivots are at such a dramatic offset from each other, but I don't flip, though I plan to get a trainer soon.

[@bluehornet197]

You should try Balisong Addict he has heaps of tutorials of advanced tricks

[@jd7493]

Hey, great tutorial! I'm able to do every single step independently (like how you did in your first breakdown) but I can't seem to keep the momentum when I slip my thumb in to switch out of the index rollover, any tips? I've tried moving my wrist and positioning my hand differently but none of it seems to work

[@50bladesofgrey43]

xJeD there will be a slight pause initially but it will get faster over time with practice. I hate to say practice more because it's generic advice but balisong tricks are mainly muscle memory

[@jd7493]

Yeah, thought that might be the case. I'll keep trying at it, thanks for the reply!

[@himothytimothy111]

@@jd7493I know this is late, Did it work?

[@jd7493]

@@himothytimothy111 Yup, I don't practice flipping anymore and haven't for years but whenever I pick one up I'm still able to do pretty much everything I learned without thinking about it (including behind the 8ball). Muscle memory from repetition is absolutely a huge factor in learning these tricks, just keep at it and once you get it you'll probably never lose it.

[@H19Enduro]

finding this so so hard I cant tell where you are switching and wether the rollout is under ot over the hand learning chaplins was much much easier than this

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Thank You!

[@Dylan-nt1vx]

Is there different styles of flipping because I like the tricks where there is rotation and nice flow

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Wow Wow there are different styles for sure, a combo could be aerial heavy, fanning heavy, or rollover heavy for example

[@RevSkulls]

great vid!

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Reverend Skulls thank you 👊🏻

[@michaned.1798]

Good damn Thank you

[@michaned.1798]

I’ve said before, that ur tutorials should be longer, but i learned this trick And ITS COOL ;)

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Michał Nedwidek awesome to hear! I agree my earlier videos are perhaps a bit too short and I have tried to improve with more recent uploads

[@00WhiteBlade]

That third part is fucking impossibruuu!! You have to move your fingers outta the way so fast! and then catch it at EXACTLY the right time! AGH!

[@ARandomKid1]

I thought this was hard but it was really easy

[@kieranhawkins2768]

Could you do a breakdown of each step

I keep on getting this trick but after the first thum roll i can’t grab the handle fast enough so i just look really awkward 😅

[@nickhomer40]

Hey man, awesome video. My balisong is still in the mail right now, but I can't wait to learn the tricks you show on your channel! Also what balisong are you using in all your videos?

[@Sloppybro10]

[Reptillian] nickhomer40 he's using the select alt blade BRS replicant I think.

[@50bladesofgrey43]

[Reptillian] nickhomer40 the knife you see here is a BRS alt premium replicant from Bladehq.com

[@50bladesofgrey43]

[Reptillian] nickhomer40 and thank you 👊🏻

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Lieutenant Lucifer that is correct 👍🏻

[@taminosachsenweger36]

No one cna exlplain those zhinks better than ypou

[@markcollier9279]

If you were a beginner and were choosing between the Replicant and the Alpha Beast, which would be easier to learn with?

[@50bladesofgrey43]

Mark Collier hard call, both are knives intended to aid you in flipping. I think the replicant makes aerial tricks easier while the beast can make technical tricks easier but I wouldn't call the difference make or break

[@noahb7860]

i was wondering what balisong you use thx!

Could you teach the kiss goodbye please

[@parkerd2919]

Any advice for the last spin around the thumb? I can do the first two steps but the last one I always end up cutting myself.

[@50bladesofgrey43]

John Garcia can you get it around your thumb and you get cut during the last last part or does it stall out on you when you try to get the last roll?

[@parkerd2919]

50 Blades of Grey Yeah! I can get it around the thumb on the second roll but I can’t stop the momentum of the blade and it always cuts my index.

[@bluehornet197]

@@parkerd2919 try taping the edge of your blade it will stop you from cutting yourself or you can buy a trainer on eBay for like 10 bucks
