A butterfly knife, also known as a Balisong, fan knife or Batangas knife, is a type of folding pocketknife that originated in the Philippines. Its distinct features are two handles counter-rotating around the tang such that, when closed, the blade is concealed within grooves in the handles.

[@pr3ttyb0yfl4cko]

Bro you need to have a traditional, original Filipino balisong. The og is the most beautiful balisong i've ever seen, the craftsmanship and handwork on it is awesome, it feels tribal and somewhat elegant. Very different than the modern balisong.

[@StartYourBuisnessToday]

It’s so beautiful to see a 1 hour vid

[@brodysimmons9347]

I’d love to see a review of the JK Designs Orca Trainer, its such an interesting idea. I love your collection videos!

[@manongpedro8645]

A Balisong blade was used to be valued by how many lives it took. It serves like an heirloom passed down the family, a relative, or to a friend. Especially after the crime was committed in order to hide the murder weapon. So to speak, the more people who died from it, the more it is considered valuable. Balisongs are definitely the most beautiful cleverly designed knife but with a gruesome history not everyone is aware of. Glad to know, that dreadful impression is now gone and it is considered as a collectible item around the world. 💪

I just barely bought my first Balisong this week, so I don't understand the technical stuff, but your collection and channel are both pretty cool. I'm gonna have a lot of fun checking it out :D Can't wait to find more cool stuff about the community and knives

[@mattybianconi5424]

I bought the BBFirefly shortly before you said you'd review it on your main channel. I'm so hyped to see the review, take your time but when it comes out I'm gonna have such a great week :D just to hear that my first knife is a nice purchase in this video is such a great thing to hear!! Besides, Serge and his wife were amazing help. Great customer service :D

You said that it would be too long on your main channel, then I noticed it was an hour long.. I am going to have a tough time watching this. But there’s balisongs involved. I can’t resist.

Not only would a tutorial for the foam be awesome but, do you think you could also share your exact specs for your foam build? I love the double stacked foam “shelves” idea it’s really innovative!

[@ProBigOunce]

LETS GOOO I WAS WAITING FOR THIS

[@THE_NIGHTRUNNER_V.I.A]

I'm trying to start my own balisong collection I just love the unique designs of the knives. I currently have this balisong knife 6:05 (the silver one) and my very first balisong knife owning and I cherish it my dad gave it to me a few years ago and I loved it ever since and it got me into trying to start my own balisong collection. Also I love your collection.

[@calebmunkirs9661]

I feel that I'm a strange case where I started as a balisong person that transitioned to normal folding knives as more my interest but I like how Will says he uses his knives for normal things. I'm not deep into the balisong community but it largely seems the interest is driven away from things like cutting performance and blade steels and more aimed at the action alone but I like how Will is still really appreciative of blade grind and occasionally steel. No hate to either side of the same family really but the priorities are set different but I think both can see where the other comes from and appreciates those aspects in addition to those more concerning to their side. I hope that makes sense to other readers

[@vibe1270]

I absolutely agree and feel you. I love flipping and playing with them and all that but I do use my balisongs was knives to cut stuff so I do appreciate a good blade steal, grind, finish and all that.

[@Buudoo]

Let's gooooo I was waiting for that :D

[@totilamas1731]

Maxace balis are no joke. Definitely premium stuff. Especially the original covenant. I think they exploded in value too.

[@pacificoc.milanesjr.8031]

Balisong is a real work of art used for self defense in knife fighting sort of like a form of martial arts weapon in the philippines sometimes called bente nueve this comes with different sizes and design truly a genius worksmanship concealed weapon that some dont understand the real value of it, a traditional ancestors tool passed down to next gen.

[@ronaldachacoso8263]

You have to have the original balisong from Batangas with handle made from carabao horn and brass. It’s also known as bente nueve or veinte nueve (29) which was its standard length in centimeters.

[@Bmxking10234]

You are so under rated you should have 2mil subscribers I love you mannnn

[@sleepy_wendigo]

Finally a case that fits your Lucha 😂 Btw in reference to the Lucha, I have the updated Flyti handles and it feels so much nicer. The grip is great now and it really helps with Z-Chokers which I'd say is a weak point for the original Flyti Lucha

[@aaronpotato7978]

Hello, I am a relatively new but also somewhat experienced balisong (trainer) flipper to the point where I am ready to start paying a little bit more to get the good stuff. I was wondering if you could recommend a balisong trainer preferably within the range of 100-150$ or less that you think is just an overall good balisong that can take a beating considering that I don't normally have the money to buy one. If there are any that you think would be worth spending a little bit more then I would appreciate the mention. Anyways sorry for taking up your time reading this comment because as I can see, you are very busy. But I would very much appreciate it if you could respond to my query. Thank you very much, I love your content, please continue to make more.

5:33 why zinc? the best use i would have for a bali with zinc handles would be taking it out and reacting to form some thicker oxide layer or something zinc is so fucking maluable and so reactive that if you heat it up enough it will just burn the best use i have for zinc metal is at best making some alloy or something i cant even use it for electrolysos since it's so reactive

I've carried a butterfly knife from xmas 88 at the age of 15 on and I'm 50 now, trainers didn't exist as far as I know and they are sooooo odd. being relaxed with the trainer would reduce ones attention to how dangerous the actual knife is and some of those flips will not work with a sharp blade. WTH? lol

Yeah thats the point. Balisong flipping isnt something you do with a live blade, and people would rather not get cut while doing tricks.
