Benchamade's 85 Balisong Or " What Do They Have Cooking"

[@shrimpflips]

there is no such thing as a high-end bear and son 😂

[@MrTantoBalisong]

This mans has clearly never seen the damascus stag bone balisong...

[@shrimpflips]

@@MrTantoBalisong im talking about the bali series

[@MrTantoBalisong]

@@shrimpflips I was joking my man

[@shrimpflips]

@@MrTantoBalisong sorry lol, i'm absolutely horrible at knowing what’s sarcasm and what isn't.

[@ultrathinnmemes5951]

As someone who makes their own knives, i got inspiration from the 87's blade and made my own neck knife with the same blade type. I absolutely fell in love with it, just not enough for $600 to drop.

[@Hellseeker1]

Why does Benchmade discontinue knives people want? Model 42 and the 51 Morpho in particular.

[@Northernknives]

Exactly!

[@xkon8827]

Should know your knives before you start talking about them. Didnt know if the lucha was aluminum or steel and the BM's are magnetic latches not spring...stopped watching

[@rb2k1]

The latch on the 85/87 is magnetic not spring. Heard that come up a few times :)

[@suttonmatthew]

When comparing the BM 87 and 85, I’ll take the model 87 all day long. The 87 is an EDC and can also be used for food preparation. The blood groove makes it a food collection point, and a place for pocket crud. The 87 has a traditional Asian style fighting knife blade. I think the BM 85 probably appeals to those who are comfortable with the status quo balisongs.

[@MrMZaccone]

Neither of the Benchmades are "status quo" because they're channel construction.

[@probabyjesus]

87 impossible to find

[@michaelmetler6315]

I have two 87's and a Lucha I like the Lucha more. Hope they make new models in higher end steel like they do with the Link. Also looking forward to the new Boker Bali USA made D2 Steel Two handles 80 bucks. Have you reviewed the Shrade Bali?

[@MrTantoBalisong]

Keep up the good content!

[@MrMZaccone]

The Benchmades are channel construction and the Kershaw is sandwich. That's all I need to know.

[@dt8694]

I got the 87 and recently picked up the 85 at the new msrp before it was discontinued, paid $750 😅

[@Northernknives]

Ouch. That BM tax is real though

[@ronhites4629]

Benchmades 85 Balisong latch is not spring operated, they actually use magnets!

[@Northernknives]

Thank you

[@samuelhain2160]

I love my 87. It's really good at cutting, well, everything. People just don't like the blade shape because it's "ugly." That is to say it's not what people are used to. That is to say it's not what the 42 used. The wharncliffe is the best utility blade shape for work environments. That's why razer blades use the shape.

[@zac_in_ak]

Chad looks so disappointed that it's coke in front of him

[@adamkolb113]

Benchmades are nice I would love one but they are just very pricey. Kershaw is a lot of knife for the money but I wish the kershaw came with a pocket clip. I would edc the kershaw!

[@aaronwidder9624]

man i agree!!

[@MrMZaccone]

Channel vs. Sandwich. There's a reason for the price difference.

[@Liljana-e6e]

Benchmade- They are not spring latched there are magnets 🧲 in em ++ lol I like watching you guys talk bout knives 🔪.

[@Liljana-e6e]

Since COVID my collection has grown watching the knives on your episodes . I personally have the 87 ti warrencliff blade . If I had seen the 85 first that would of been my first choice . I do enjoy watching the episodes. Keep up the great work .

[@allthingsdev4071]

Not spring latch, it uses magnets

[@Metal_Matrix]

Lucha is not even in the same hemisphere of the 85 and 87

[@aaronwidder9624]

mexican blanket of butterfly knives!!! HAHAHA!!

[@santos6394]

None of these guys know anything about these kinds of knives

[@BaliBoyEuge]

It’s amusing to hear “knife” gang trying to speak intelligently about this style of knife, when they have no clue as to what makes a balisong flip well. They are obsessing too much on features they are familiar with, blade grind and construction/materials. Yes, very important, but this gang needs to do more fact finding about flipping , balance, and design related to flipping performance. No mentions of fanning, rollovers, ladder, capabilities…..they are missing addressing the elephant in the room! These knife aficionados have a serious knowledge gap, and yet they flippantly spew. Please do more research, and be more respectful

[@tonykim9525]

That background music makes this video unwatchable.

[@Northernknives]

We dropped it after complaints. All out new stuffs audio is high enough quality we don't need it
