My Entire Balisong "Butterfly Knife" Collection (2019)

[@Philippe44]

My godfather's a real knife guy, and years back you got me into the Benchmade balisongs. He asked me what I wanted for my birthday and even though they're illegal where I live I thought it wouldn't hurt to try... Weeks passed and there it was, sitting on his table: a brand new model 51 with the black blade. I flipped it so much it lost a screw. (kinda looks more like the owner now :p) Now I own a couple of high end knives, but nothing will ever beat that one. I was flipping it like a pro watching your video, thinking how happy I am that I came to your channel all those years ago. Thanks, man.

Shii, I’ve been into balisongs for two months now but I don’t have $400 to spend on lots of balis, but I’m getting a Kershaw Lucha since it’s around $120 and very good for it’s price

[@BoomagaBali]

Ah Jeff, You got me into flipping like 9 years ago. it would bring me so much joy to see you get back in the game.

[@snoopu2601]

The Philippine style small one is the one I have in my collection I had it sience the 1970's so I know it must be old. It looked old when I got it. To see all the different styles and the companies that made/make them.

[@JAYs90sTOYz]

I always loved your videos I love how you give respect to the history of the Balisongs and Flipping not just the elite Knife Brands, gotta love Nostalgia

[@derekneumann]

I had a Spyder-fly at one point but the 5-0 took it from me when I was stupid and got a DUI like 15 years ago. Bummer.

[@ILikeToLaughAtYou]

That... MIGHT... have been one of my buddies... sorry, bro hahaha.

[@gahnity]

@@ILikeToLaughAtYou how can you be sure?

[@TrustNoOne88]

You can carry that Cali legal Bali along with the Cali legal espada xl and have yourself a nice mini edc self defense combo! Hehe 😉

[@tdogg1824]

Dude I remember watching your balisong collection video 7 or 8 years ago at least 5 times. I just remember being so fascinated and jealous at the same time.

[@donny_flips2317]

Been watching your vids for years glad you got me into balisongs lol

[@fatality217]

Same

[@Surago]

You’ve got more Bali songs than I have knives. 🙄I’m jealous.

[@xcsw1s]

Causs there cooler

[@SnyperMac1]

I just realized this came out on my birthday a couple years ago, you still have an awesome collection.

[@mountainmanwatchreviews8081]

Lunch break gold content right here. Man I’m jelly of that collection.

[@richardaywara5903]

The balisong (Both the knife and the name) originated in batangas, philippines. What started in france is the Pied Du Roi which is a measurement tool with a blade that similarly has foldable mechanisms going on. But I wouldn't consider this as france being the origin of the Balisong/butterfly knife as the tool varied in folding mechanism (some similar to a balisong, some not) along with its main purpose as a measurement tool, whereas the philippines coined the name Balisong and designed it as purely a cutting tool and weapon.

[@joeythethrifty]

I remember it as "charming Chinese cheapie" because you KNOW it's gonna suck but you like the way it looks

[@MrRazorsharpblade]

Christmas came early 😍😍😍. Love these

[@patrickvanovermeeren4513]

Quite a collection !! Thanks for sharing !

[@karlluigi1987]

Authentic someone that reviews an authentic Batangas Balisong

[@TC-iv7dn]

The blue Balisong (CCC) is from germany. unfortunately they are banned since 2008 without a real statement why.

[@JENi-vx3yn]

Atropos is making BM 49 style balisong. I know it's not the real thing but very close, it's called "Custom Kris" and it looks absolutely stunning.

[@wildfireman13]

I started flipping in 2010 because of you video and I've even made a few of my own tricks/combos since. I have about 25 Balisongs and over 200 knives in total.

[@zacknicholson3693]

Enjoying the longer format video!

[@WinningCoachdotcom]

Nice stuff.. you must of sold your last large collection?

[@GavinPershey]

What happened to your filet butterfly knife?

[@cutlerylover]

all of the models from the 1st balisong collection video was sold as a set to a girl in Hawaii...I regretted selling them all to pay bills so I started to collect again last year...

[@Dantheferret]

Please do a video on your automatic knife collection

[@pooyataleb2514]

at 19:06 that's not from an anime that's from Warcraft and it looks AMAZING!

[@jamesnelson5768]

Hi Jeff iv been a subscriber for a while now and I love the content keep up that awesome collection and happy holidays to u and your wife

[@thingswecarry7564]

That 3D printed one is awesome. When I first saw it it looked like one of the Klecker model kits. This gives me ideas haha

[@xBE4STCLAN]

Lol I hate to be a cutlery lover nerd but you even made a review of the small fly trainer! It came in red handles

[@chenhao4491]

What balisong is that right beside the balisong pen 1:46 the dove black one ( if you meantion in vid then sorry i havent finished watching when wrighting this)

[@pinkpearl8130]

Thanks for the video! Awesome to see you collecting balisongs again. I wanted to see more about that small one just to the left of the Filipino balisong, as well as others, but I can understand that it would a really long vid 😂 Maybe dedicated videos one day on the ones you missed in this vid?

[@rhinotank8725]

It's about time, man. It's been too long since we've seen your collection.

[@mr.beefygreenz1443]

Good lowd that's alot if knives..coo collection, Thks for the share..Happy holiday's..

[@danmiller6800]

I had no idea you had this many balisongs still!!!! Nice collection

[@natedruelinger290]

Been waiting so long for this

[@joeythethrifty]

They're doing titanium handle 4x series clones now, you should get a 49 it won't be the same but it would probably feel great to hold

[@joelilley3554]

Jeff, may I ask how you store these and do you display some of them and if so how? Just curious bc I need some ideas myself. I also really like the beat you used it sounds pretty good.

[@WholeHealer]

My favorite one is the one with the antler handles and Damascus steel blade

[@sgtredrhino2009]

The knife at 12:16 is more than likely from Canada. In Canada they put French and english writing on everything due to the overwhelming population of French speakers. I know because I'm Canadian lol

[@undercov3erboss340]

Hey Jeff, I recently bought a BM42S and I'm super excited to get my hands on it. However, the dealer I purchased it from has a really nice looking BM Model 49-03 SS for sale, it's marked #70/100. I'd love to see it in your collection. :) Xmas is coming up soon..

[@bakergannon]

Nice collection, my first balisong was a 80's Pakistani Manila, still have it, love the video thanks for sharing

[@izumi2165]

Why you don't buy a 49 clone? Yes, sure they stole Benchmades design but it's the only chance you have today to buy that type of knife.

[@tylerhellums9823]

You know, Jeff; a lot of those guys who melt your brain with their skills are probably some of your bali-students who watched your old flipping videos. I know I am.

[@TAActicalFR]

Awesome collection jeff!!!

[@jb-aglet]

Lovely. Simply lovely!

[@ClassicalKev]

About time man!

[@davegoodridge8352]

I would love to see any video on butterflies you make.

[@ElliottsCreations]

Oh hey, sweet, the one at 19:23 is Frostmourne from Warcraft/World of Warcraft. That's so cool.

[@JAYs90sTOYz]

What happened to your Storm Trooper ? Microtech

[@spruce1417]

cutlerylover What do you think of the practical everyday usability of JK Design’s Monarch blade shape? Thank you for your videos.

[@cutlerylover]

its cool looking not muc different than the atroposknife demon blades pretty much a modified tanto but more of a traditional japanese tanto with the curved front end so its very usable!

[@spruce1417]

cutlerylover Thank you for your opinion it is much appreciated.

[@NaihanchinKempo]

manila folder was sandle wood was my first bali in 83 was a $40 bali in the early 80s over $200 now

[@izumi2165]

Lol I had that ccc lion tools but instead of blue, I had one black with little white drops. That one was my first bali. In the hispanic community we still call cheap balisongs cccs.

[@steponasmikalauskas9060]

What kind of knife is the fully black one next to the baliyo at 1:45?

[@kaptrad]

am also curious 👍👍

[@cutlerylover]

good question I actually left that one out because of possible controversy its also one of the "anime" models but has images people would not understand correctly so I left it out but overall its mimicking a samurai sword blade and its not sharp...

[@TooMuchFlipping]

I’d like to apologize Jeff. I let you down. I was going to make a flipping channel but life got in the way. I hope you return to the hobby and inspire the next generation of flippers!

[@lexusrc3507]

No 87?

[@ethanpham5624]

I had a 62 but traded it for a Sebenza 21. Would do it again.

[@gregkis]

Jeff, is the benchmade 49 the model used in the movie face off??

[@cutlerylover]

it was in fact a Kirss balisong but ive read a few tiems that it was debunked to be an older benchmade and more likely a cheap model used as a prop for the movie...or even possible custom model made for the scene...

[@danmiller6800]

CCC balusongs about took my eye out as a kid lmao I got 2 for 20 each at a flea market the first I thought was brass so I thought I got a deal but within ten minutes it broke and I notice it was pot metal and I had a blue one like yo u showed that almost took my eye out not to long down the road but heck it taught me how to flip and just because it almost took my eye out didn’t mean I stopped buying them lol but eventually many of CCC Bali’s later I spent 200 or 300 and got something of quality that I could flip without issue thanks for showing this I am going to try and find my Bali’s that I may still have and start flipping again!!!!!!❤️

[@TrustNoOne88]

Holy butterfly Batman!!

[@dynamicfirearmsinc432]

Very impressive Jeff

[@FrenchBalisongRyder]

The king of folder

[@boaboy8052]

That's hardcore AF CHEERS

[@Sirsk8]

I just picked up a 50$ balisong it gold an silver the handles are skeleton fingers it has pins but it seems to be nice it’s weighted with spacers would love feedback on it

[@brandenmays8795]

Super happy to see my paradox in the video. I traded that for your 940 which I traded for a 87. Maybe that will come your way sometime

[@Rumeel12708]

Hey any one know what the the balisong with the changeable blades is called 1:53????

[@jaredrablin96]

The 51 with the black blade is my Grail bali

[@tamatoa8261]

I bought a Benchmade balisong in 1986. I had loaned it to a friend and never got it back. I see what they're worth now and it makes me sick.

[@DangerPickle93]

Where is the 29 knives that was given to you

[@DReynolds5294]

Go to the 21 minute mark in the video...

[@_vae]

I was weak with that frostmourne

[@clintonlewis1663]

really cool collection !

[@modernnumismatist5863]

The brass one at 2:30 I have that one as well 👍🏻

[@jimmyginseng]

Holy crap lol. Awesome collection dude, makes me want to buy more.

[@jasonott6329]

can you correct me if im wrong, are this or are there not illegal to carry in PA?

[@undergroundexplorer8378]

Balisongs are 100% legal to carry in PA. See Commonwealth v. Miles. www.leagle.com/decision/1989747padampc4th67162 "We did not find the "butterfly" knife to be a prohibited offensive weapon."

[@undergroundexplorer8378]

While balis are legal to carry in PA, be cautious of certain jurisdictions like Philadelphia. You can't carry ANY knife at all in the city unless it's specifically being used as part of your job.

[@jatbatman]

Armed shark is what I believe that last one says.

[@cutlerylover]

lol that makes more sense

[@charlesgronda9872]

Love your videos but your balisong videos is what got me subscribed glad to see more bali content

[@mickkeim4142]

Wow...so you are really into Bali’s .

[@sputumtube]

I'm in the UK where these are completely illegal. However, I do have an old one (bought before the laws changed) and although it's a piece of badly made rubbish, I did learn the Full Twirl from your tutorials. For that I'll always be grateful. Cheers. :)

[@desfog2566]

SWEET CHRISTMAS

[@gregclayton8831]

I had a balisong that said hornet 2 on the blade that got stolen. can anyone tell me who makes one like that?

[@CoreyWBaker]

A ndthis is post you selling them all originally! - Lovely stuff jeff

[@halosrusty]

Cool music and collection

[@premquadeblades430]

Do any of you guys know if I should get the bear and sons bear ops balisong 5 or 2(reasons too).

[@jacobmanalang8162]

worth the wait

[@otokonoko_]

Tour ccc is the same model I currently use

[@ShengTheCraftsman]

18:09 these 2 has absolutely nothing to do with anime, they are from warcraft that the unknown sketchy balisong making chinese company that rip off the style of 2 swords from 2 faction in warcraft, the Undead sword frostmourne and Human King Llane's Sword

[@XavMak]

The first "batangas" was the closer pronunciation👍

[@yeetusaway594]

Philippines lol

[@dimos6063]

This video is sick i enjoyed it a lot

[@Grant_D]

Omg I have a valor “silver dragon” that is so crazy as it seems that I can’t find any others on the internet

[@joelilley3554]

Balisongs, while I don’t have any right now, they have been around since the Wild West was going on and were actually used in the world wars. so if anyone ever says balisongs are not a viable weapon tell them look at the history books. It may not be my first choice and there is deff a skill gap to use in combat but these knives have been in wars and I’m sure even if it’s not documented that they probably have killed people.

[@Smokeone44]

Do a Fixed blade collection show next

[@bidybob1670]

Sooo... I want that one for Christmas.

[@xuwho7244]

Holy **** that’s a lot of knives

[@Dafoodmaster]

3gr13 steel? that's not a lot of gromium

[@smogdanoff7053]

I just watched this video and realised i bought one of those wavy ccc’s from my friend, the chrome is badly flaked and reveals a copper surface underneath(why would they make it of copper lol)

[@user-ue6iv2rd1n]

The second cheap fantasy style balisong, is modelled after frostmourne from world of warcraft

[@Crisp-sounds111]

The u is a d on armed shark on the last knife it was cut of from the logo

[@danmiller6800]

Btw Jeff I have to tell you thanks a lot you taught me how to flip and do zippo tricks I still remember your April fools prank where you acted like you accidentally stabbed yourself in the leg with a Bali that was a good one I actually want to go back and watch that!!!!!

[@Dixie9mm]

I would please like to buy your carbon BRS please. I regret selling my bm43 and 3 bm42's

[@baliblaze2354]

bro why you keep the latch on

[@Blackheart_618]

12:04 peigne pliable de poche actually translates to pocket foldable comb

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

You should design a Bali and have bastion build it ?

[@cutlerylover]

maybe IU will down the road :)

[@midnightmonroe2522]

How many months ago did I ask for this
