[@REKLAW-ART]

I had a trainer when I was young until I was 12 and I still am yet to nic myself for the last 13 years. I don’t kno about learning a move ur not certain about with a live blade just sounds like asking for cuts.

[@Liad_Hermelin]

@@REKLAW-ART Big facts. Let alone your “first balisong” being live. Personally, I flip just for fun and as a pseudo artform. Not interested in EDC or anytbing like that, and that’s why I’ve always used trainers and am not planning on “upgrading” to a live blade. No disrespect to anyone that is into that, to each their own and I think it’s badass. Just not for me.

[@GamingForSurvival]

@@Liad_Hermelin I started with a trainer for about a year just casually flipping, I got to a point where its just easy mindless flipping, so I switched to a real blade which I use at work often(work at a gun store) opening boxes and such, but having a real blade also made me want to learn more difficult tricks, still haven't cut myself.. yet

Thank you Big Flips for all of the videos you make. It is really hard to find a good tutorial that covers everything on a move and doesn't go too fast. Your whole playlist has been a great guide for helping me learn how to use a butterfly knife! Hope to see more videos!

[@CaffHCloudlow]

Found this too advanced for me in your very helpful learning sequence. So practiced the hand positions without the twists and moved on. A few lessons later, I can get a twirl in the bottom swing and pretty poorly in the top. But it's finally making sense now and coming together. Also got a little bit of sequencing into other moves down now I'm understanding where certain motions land up handlewise (safe to bite, up to down). Thank you

[@iambeepbop2452]

Fr I think this is too advanced to be so early on in the beginner tricks playlist

[@nathannorton5972]

If you master each trick before moving on, this is just an open cut off into a reverse open, you only are adding the knife flip

[@Luke-ih1oc]

It's considered more advanced because of the fact that a greater understanding of pendulum physics is required (not consciously, necessarily). When you spin the knife, the handle should produce a pendulum-like effect; it should require little effort to both complete the spin and to return the handle to your hand. It simply takes repetition for the brain to be able to understand this.

[@SamChaneyProductions]

This is an interesting component trick, It's basically just half of a basic open and half reverse open, so in the end you switch it twice so it ends up still open if you started open. If you want to use this trick as an open (start closed, end up with an open ice-pick grip), just add the second step from the basic open at the beginning (ie, flip the blade out, then flip it around again then continue with the rest of this trick).

But yeah, originally it was supposed to be a one handed operation utility knife.

[@lissethcruz1885]

My partner gave me a trainer to play around with and I’m having so much fun with it. This trick is definitely one of me favorites to do! This is awesome!!

[@WhuDhat]

you still playing around?

[@lpl723]

Is it just me or is my balisong so heavy that when I do the second step, it slips out of my middle finger and my thumb?

[@Opin10n]

I feel you I got something like that whenever I go to twist I mess up and it just slips out of my hand

[@MooMoo-lv7wz]

Mines to light xd

[@wowwow-xp9sk]

You have to grip maybe just a bit stronger, its the exact same concept as pen spinning, hold it real loose and let gravity do the work for you, thats how you make it look like you hands are barely moving(at least for basic pen spinning) just dont grip it so loose that it ends up falling out of your hands.

i'm still a little slow and rusty with this move but it took me 4 weeks after learning the basic opens to learn this, im so glad ive learned my first trick, it motivates me to learn more now that i can do more than just open and close the knife over and over.

The hardest part of this (for me) is the "sweeping motion" because you need to pinch tight enough that the knife doesn't fly out of your hand, but it needs to be loose enough that the knife can actually rotate

Hey, I recently started flipping, I'm trying to learn this trick and I'm practising it but how do you turn the handle so smoothly so it all fits? At 0:27

[@BigFlips]

Hey! the smoothness just comes with a lot of practice. it wont be that smooth when it starts, what it is is its just a twist with my thumb and middle finger but if you do it at the exact right time in the swing the momentum transfers perfectly and carries it back up.hard to teach but if you do this move 1000 times you will get it! start slow!
