Of course everybody who works at Benchmade knows how to flip a balisong.

When you work at a bali warehouse your either going to go in or come out as a flipper

You forgot to test fingers

NOW WE'RE GONNA TEST IT AGAINST SOME HUMAN FINGERS FOR REALISM

[@nikolaistern9380]

mdlassel that scares the shit out of me lol

[@SolaireFlair]

@@nikolaistern9380 don't let the fear of cutting yourself scare you away from trying the balisong hobby! They're much safer than they look, just do your research and learn how to handle them and you'll be fine

6:43 homie Mike was killing it

[@knifemaster20]

Man mike (the last guy who flipped the Bali) should get a raise for all den skilz man

[@NSW15355]

Would it be a good idea to put on my resume, "Can flip balisong" when applying to Benchmade?

[@Nanchi]

I wish lol

[@kevinharrigan2727]

Only at a place like Benchmade would everyone know how to flip a Bali like a champ.

[@1InfinityShade]

***** Liners are the thing metal under the scales of the handle.

[@pepavasata6790]

Except for 1 guy, they all did pretty basic beginner stuff.

[@Squidwardsclarinet69]

Pepa Happypepik i cant do that finger twirlling shit and certainly cant do a chaplin for 3 hours, the majority of that i cant do, and ive been flipping for 9 months. to me all of what i saw was insane flying around crazy shit Thats several levels above me in terms of ability. i cant do that Aerial he did consistently either.

[@danielhesse8600]

So glad I picked this balisong.

[@VinEllis]

One of the best ever made, imo. Having owned the 42, I can tell you that the 51 flips exactly like it, except it has a more comfortable crowned spine, better gripping G10 handles, more beautiful look, way better EDC grind, better steel(D2), zen pins(which are way better than tang pins), and a pocket clip.

[@teal.9710]

So I'm supposed to flip that 😨

[@philipbrooks9682]

So happy my first benchmade was this knife, love it

[@MystikEssence]

Thank you for uploading this excellent video! I really enjoyed taking a nice quick tour of the famous Benchmade factory. I'm also a big fan of balisongs, so this is a real gem of a video for me haha. Much appreciated. Stay sharp!

[@maika0staretza]

wow nice to see Vance is with you for so long !!!!!

[@nena_nezali]

Late to the party but I just got a second hand 51 after much searching. Looking forward to getting Lifesharp service done to it for that 2014-era sharpness. Love your work!

[@Nanchi]

wow Mike got some skill

[@soncscoot9929]

2:16 is where the test starts

[@lima1931]

So much more professional than those silly cold steel demonstrations.

[@cookiemunster7347]

Yeah, but those cold steel demonstrations are just good ole fun. You know?

[@jeremyterwisscha6534]

CookieMunster73 I think cold steels demonstrations are childish and stupid just like there names and overall quality :/

[@shisones]

Professor Weaboo Are you joking? "The strongest and has the highest value"? As a Company that makes oversized murder weapon which meant to decapitate and butcher human body with AUS8 steel that they always use, make a several great knives and continue making 16" Blade Pocketsword with a pocketclip, Cold steel is perfect, I don't even know what kind of weed they smoke to come up with this idea. But as a Knife company, Benchmade wins in Metalurgy, Uniqueness, and innovation, Not to hate on Cold Steel or anything, It was a great Knife(?) Company, They made great knives such as Recon 1, Tufflite and more.

[@BaconBit90MC]

Mikes a badass

[@yg_euro]

That's awesome. Really love this balisong.

[@pepavasata6790]

Gotta love Mike. Really good flipper!

[@MrTheblackops771]

i just ordered on of these last week i cant wait for it to arrive 5-8th

[@blueberryog69]

I enjoyed watching stacey walk up and down those stairs

[@tommers1209]

They're not lying when they say that's the regular factory edge on the ones they ship to you and me. Mine was just as sharp. Gotta love Benchmade!

[@UltraxEmerald]

Ordered the BM 51 yesterday. I’m very eager to get it.

[@mike80449]

Just bought a 51 wanted to see what it’s capable of well I’m not disappointed in the least

[@SPCMRNLEON]

I remember my BM 32 bali, such a nice flipper, looking to get a 51 in the near future! :D

[@SpecO1llI]

Great video!

[@trigger796]

This is so satisfying

[@judgemodollar]

That's some pretty sweet flipping!

[@capitalismmorelikecrapital6723]

if i worked at benchmade i would steal aaaaaalllllllooooooooooooooottttttttttttt of knives

Nice flipping skills over at the benchmade factory!

LOVE YOUR VIDS KEEP UP THE GOOOOOOD WORK!!!

[@egbh1]

Nice factory!!

[@MultiLoganM]

Nice! I really enjoyed this video. Yall are way better flippers than I am

[@musicman4034]

I honestly didn’t expect it to be that sharp

[@devouringfate]

Tracy single? :P

[@casdi2515]

Just asking what should I do if i have ordered a training balisong knife from bench made on EBay but then the paint comes off and there is a lot of blade play on it. And yes I have considered that it is a counterfeit

[@Knifenerd]

I like how the staff all know how to flip like crazy.

[@askham1010]

Daayum ! thats an awesome knife

[@chromeeagle5]

I got the limited edition camp perry griptilian and mine was numbered 1/1000 but another youtuber made a video and his was number 1/1000 as well. Do you know why that is?

[@FrenchBalisongRyder]

Hello, I bought a Benchmade 51 yesterday and the spring latch is energetic less than my first Benchmade 51 it’s normal or not? I will do a break..? The balisong opens and closed very well it’s not the problem, it’s just not very energetic, just a little energetic Thank you for your help and sorry for my English I’m French Greetings

[@dynomiker]

Ya, I what does Tracy carry everyday? And that was some sweet flipping by some of your co-workers!

[@speaker1449]

I seem to have missed the finger cutting section

[@swetsyed2749]

If we do tricks the screws will loose?

[@chriszeravica8233]

How does it handle rust? I livei n a VERY humid, saltwater area

[@thaknobodi]

Not bad for a factory edge. With a good resharpening about three times in, the edge retention will be even better.

[@jeremyterwisscha6534]

This is why I bought a 51 and a 62 and plan on getting the full 6x set with the 87 and hopefully get the older ones like the 259 and 239 and maybe even a 42 :3

[@VinEllis]

I have two 42s. The best balisongs ever.

[@Shlumpty12]

DAMN Mike gots skillz

[@SteengoedHD]

+Cøllin Biggs (ØffTheHøøkGaming) Hahah this was the comment i was looking for XD

[@spezz01]

will you do this with the 62?

[@1InfinityShade]

I want to flip with them... I mean work with them. I'd never get anything done unless it was balisong design. On another note, would you guys please stress test the bm51. I have continuously argued the durability and stability of balisongs vs fixed blades. For some reason the majority of knife collectors i have run across have no clue what a good balisong is and i'd like to refer them to this and a 51 stress testing. (if you can get a hold of a flytanium)

[@thedarkknightt]

Would the 51 be your best "mater knife?"

[@moseslexington9239]

I believe the lock is a latch, and they didn't, did they?

[@ZumaPlayz]

that's some cutting edge performance lol

[@chilidoghamsalad9952]

YO how do I get ahold of some of those product acquisition forms? YEET

[@warwickdennis4114]

How the F do guys do those tricks is amazing to watch

[@cafenoir4737]

No wonder it’s so expensive,it’s sharp as hell right out of the box

[@TheDiegoordaz]

That's sharp

[@xtremehamster]

Is this factory edge? Mine never came that sharp.

[@MrNiceKnife]

Wait......no lock test??? That's what I wanted to see the most! Lets see a lock test of the 51 or 62 please!

[@Gunnytana]

Hey its been a month but if you are still on the fence about getting a 51 go get one. I have one and love it. I hear that my state is going to be passing a law within the next year that will allow me to EDC mine so i am super excited. but no joke, if you want one get one. I would pay the price for another honestly.

[@projecktchaos]

Nice! I need to send mine back it was so dull out of the box :/

[@Melo_EL]

Please please please make a 51 with GREY G10! That would be so dope!

[@TRIPLExHAWX]

So when there is an argument in the office do you guys just have a Bali-off?

[@moseslexington9239]

Oh, man. I want one SOOOOOOOOOOO bad. The weird thing is that it has a spring latch, though it doesn't appear to operate like one.

[@bower230]

BM62 in a 3" model please!

[@bizstaloriginal5736]

mine couldn't even cut paper fresh out of the box, is this normal?

[@Timothy1987]

All companies get big headed and cut corners(no pun intended) sad... Asking 300 bucks for that... Fucking insane...

[@whalehands4779]

So many knives i want

[@StrongManMattt]

I'd like a job at the test lab just cutting stuff all day but preferably working at cold steel there testing looks more fun LOL!

[@ultrak3ks358]

2:36-2:49 My favorite unboxing

[@amitcohen7447]

i wanted to buy one and now im freaking terrified (probably will still get one tho)

[@jdavis882]

What lock? It's a balisong

[@philipbrooks9682]

Dream job

[@MisterS4League]

Pls make more Bali Song 42!

[@VinEllis]

MisterS4League The 42 was discontinued because the cost of titanium skyrocketed due to trade ceases with the middle east.

[@khtima]

what a knife in Tracy pocket?

[@Aaronsk8s81]

You guys should walk around the factory and knife check everyone and see what they cary

[@zunedog31]

Aww I wanted to see the lock test. I hear balisongs are about as strong as non fixed blades get.

[@0J0o0h0n0n0y0]

Also I LOVE D2 STeel honestly why they made knives out of lesser material baffles me... if people know quality then go Benchmade. ;)

[@Spinz002]

do these come with loktite already applied?

[@VinEllis]

Nope.

[@VinEllis]

Update: They now do come loctited from the factory.

[@welurkintheforeststhefores8100]

i want to work at benchmade now. i can cut things up all day and flip balis.

[@Khanclansith]

I thought you guys were going to sharpen the pencil there.

[@momouppa]

my dream job

[@sqhatr]

Should have bought a 42 when I could have had I known they'd discontinue I would have. God I even got to hold one.

[@EdSaenzDrums]

I would've preferred to see Tracy walking in slow motion. :)

[@Ricycle1]

Awesome you guys made a video after many requests, but i want to see the bm51 take some abuse like you test all your griptilians. Balisongs should not be babied because they have the "strongest locking mechanisms". Please push the bm51 to its limits.

[@RK_Real]

anyone know of a good butterfly knife with a pocket clip

[@VinEllis]

... this one. The Benchmade 51.

[@evilwatermelon99]

Can someone tell me why in the hell they discontinued the 42

[@VinEllis]

The price of titanium skyrocketed. Producing the 42 became too costly, so they made the 62 and 51, stainless steel and G10 handled replacements respectively.

[@carlwest5936]

I just got a lightly used one in the mail for $70! SCORE what a steal can’t wait to flip

[@RIFFSandBLADES]

Probably fake😕

[@0J0o0h0n0n0y0]

I would LOVE TO WORK FOR BENCHMADE I LOVE KNIFES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was born with a weehawk blade in my hand...

NO LOCK TEST?!? Thats all I wanted to see!

My dream knife!

[@TheWoolyWolf]

yeah i know i recently got mine :)

Go ask how many of them preffer the benchmade 42

[@joshjohnson2995]

Please put it in the machine that puts pressure on the knife

[@blackbeanstew7645]

06:00 now here is the fresh apple now we are going to put it in the frying pan full of cinnamon "cooking channel"

[@jacquelyntibbits7566]

[@troman5000]

Cooler blade style...

[@moseslexington9239]

I think he's talking about the latch.

[@nathanwoj2244]

Mine came stupid sharp.

[@JxMxO]

Offer the 51 without the cheesy blue anodized liners and I'll buy one. Or bring back the 42 and Ill buy a second one of those to actually use.
