How to do the Choker Fan | Intermediate Balisong/Butterfly Knife Tutorial

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Here are the prerequisites to make learning this trick easier! Basic Fan: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXncp4SYe9toq8k Icepick Opening: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZu4gqyhnpqJlbcsi=-72B-zZ1rbMYORAT&t=373

[@SamChaneyProductions]

I love y'alls tutorials but one issue I have is that you always do a bunch of fancy flourishing moves going into and out of the trick, like here Jelly always goes into it with a fan flourish, then he gets out of it with a backhand fan but he never mentions either and its up to the viewer to know that those aren't part of the choker fan and most beginners or intermediate flippers will be confused as to where the actual trick starts and ends. Please just isolate the actual trick and don't do any other tricks or stylish flourishes

[@Lftarded]

Fan flourish is a lot easier to do than a double rollout, or am I just lazy to twist my wrist and hold the balisong tightly? And it's a good thing to know early since it's a lot smoother to do it than a standard opening and you can transition from it to other tricks more easily

[@Rarararaul]

I think you have to learn every video in the right order. Then it‘s not a problem

[@murcielago1029]

I had this thought starting out too, but now that I’m a bit more progressed, the way they get in and out is soooo helpful because unlike other tutorials this sets you up for combos for getting into other tricks which is the ultimate goal. I actually find that sooo incredibly helpful. If you want a single simple tutorial there are those out there for sure.

[@rusc4019]

i literally was just learning this and this video uploaded coincidently

[@Макс-в2ц3в]

Cool

[@carterbennett7528]

This is probably one of the hardest standalone tricks to learn. Start learning by having the blade facing towards your offhand (left for right handed. Right for left handed) this should make the trick easier. To do it with the handle facing your off hand, I just bring up my hand faster when doing the trick.

[@screenager_02496]

A tip that really helped me with it was to try to hold it as loose as possible (without dropping it) through the fan

[@Lftarded]

Let loose and let the fan do it's thing, and now I can do it very consistently (my new fav over rev 8ball)

[@rasan1976]

I hAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM

[@rasan1976]

And your method is really helping....thnx

[@vermine18]

My god bro those combos are insane💀💀💀

hey guys, I recently bought a DLC inked teal naut V2 with blue titanium hardware, had it for abt a week now and its incredible so far! thanks guys!

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Awesome! Glad to hear that you're enjoying it.

[@vicentenced]

What do you mean by DLC?

[@lordpotashmallow2443]

@@vicentenced the inked (black) blade theres two options for "inked": DLC & cerakote

[@vicentenced]

@@lordpotashmallow2443 so how do you know if your buying the dlc or the ceracote?

[@SamChaneyProductions]

If you learned the ice pick spin from Big Flips you might be a little confused at the ending of this trick because he's spinning it backwards (safe handle spins clockwise from above) compared to the way Big Flips teaches it (safe handle rotates counter-clockwise from above)

[@Lftarded]

Big flips taught choker to thumb rollover, while jelly taught choker to icepick since most people do choker fans and connecting it to a backhand fan

[@sebtiancamps1438]

I like how jelly did the chocker twice back to back and made it look amazing

[@Osborne4Life]

I honestly don’t get it. I can do a Z Choker with ease, but I can’t do a Choker Fan for the life of me. I’ve been trying to learn for months but just can’t get that starting rotation into what is essentially the Z Choker. I don’t know. Maybe my fingers just aren’t dexterous enough to do it .

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Hey Bryan, which part of the trick are you having trouble with? Send us a video on Instagram and we'll try our best to help you figure the trick out.

[@Osborne4Life]

@@SquidIndustriesco The very beginning of it, where you twist the handle by pulling your thumb back and pushing your middle finger forward. Every time I attempt it, i can’t get it to spin. It’s like the handle just gets jammed or something because I can’t properly twirl the fingers. But the trick it transitions into next (which essentially is a Z-Choker) I can do with ease by itself. I just don’t get it. I guess maybe with Z-Choker my fingers are already in proper placement to spin the handles into a catch, while a regular Choker Fan you have to do that complicated sideways handle twirl before transitioning into Z-Choker? I suppose I can send an Instagram video or something, but I really don’t know what can be done next to help me. :(

[@usyagi3746]

@@Osborne4Life Yeah i'm pretty much in the exact same boat. I don't know if it's just because i'm not gripping it well enough between my thumb and middle finger, so I just can't put enough torque on it. I just can't get the startup correct I think.

[@lordpotashmallow2443]

​@@Osborne4Life with the z choker you dont really have to actually twist your hand i actually cant do chokers with the handle first; i do blade first it helps me get the spin

[@krustykrew106]

This tutorial isn’t that good anyway, check out big flips that’s where I learned how to do it

[@Bailzsz]

I can’t seem to learn this my hands get so tired after like 4 tries 😭

[@steveglitter]

im surprised this is considered an intermediate trick, i find it to be very complex and difficult to learn

[@lordpotashmallow2443]

in the grand scope of all tricks, the choker is inter

[@Lftarded]

Choker is pretty simple once you get the gist of it, you just let it drop to your mid and ring, raising your arm so you can twist your wrist then you can pass it to your index.

[@FancyBilly]

anybody know the background music they used for this?

[@BlahBlah-qu6ts]

This is honestly one of the worst tutorials I have seen from this channel, it’s unfortunate because normally this channel makes great content

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Hey! Thanks for your feedback! How can we improve?

[@steveglitter]

AMEN! I've never been to get this one down, hopefully this helps

[@DelanEditz]

Im only 10 and i have a balicomb i have bin doing balisong for 1.5 months

[@spiseyboi5860]

i think itd be pretty cool to see a tutorial on different ladders

[@screenager_02496]

I concur

[@yellowissac8516]

It’s been so long(a month) I still can’t learn this😭😭, I can barely twist to do the fan in the first place

[@545axe]

I've been just playing around, trying to figure it out, and I can't seem to wrap my mind or my fingers around it, so I'm right there with you. 😢

[@PaulJordan318]

You really know how to work that balisong🦋🔪👌🏼

[@luiscoa45]

I love the thumbnail hahaha

[@luiscoa45]

It's a great turorial. I'd love to have a balisong from squid that has eound handles like the Nami. It costs like as much as my little balisong collection and my rent combined

[@Nyxelis.37]

i tried doing it and going handle first only really works with my squiddy since it’s so handle biased, and i had to do blade first for my friends naut v2. it just depends on the balance, handle for more handle biased balis, blade first for more neutral balances like the naut

stop tempting me with your balisongs......I can't buy anymore..😔

How do you flick out though?

Can you teach me live please

the problem i am having is when i go for the part where i use my thumb and middle finger when i do it my bali swings it dosent go straight down

Flick the bite handle more if your bali is handle biased, it's a lot easier to do it when the bali is neutral

Do the original choker fan(thumb rollover instead of icepick open) instead but the timing is a bit weird

You have a bright future, pare. Maybe, you'll flip houses next. 😂👾

Can y’all do an review on a Lego balisong

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Sorry Mochi, we unfortunately don't do review videos of other companies products at this time 😥

[@your.blue_angel]

So I guess what you mean by that is that you cant show other companies on your channel also it’s not like a real thing it’s like different parts of legos made into it. say yes if you mean you can’t show other companies or something else

squid industries is def the best bali company, tsunami >>>

[@kittyvalium6517]

For some reason with this and also behind the 8 ball, I learned and could only so it starting with a double rollout. Dont know if that will help anyone else, but I think the momentum kinda helps me.

[@reeceniccum3755]

I always do this trick with the blade facing my off hand is that incorrect? Now that I’m trying it with the handle facing my off hand I can’t do it 😭
