I bought a trainer off of amazon and border services took it away. I ended up having to write an appeal and I'm now waiting for a response. If I can't even get a trainer, I don't know if I'll be able to get a real one.

[@InsaneDynamics]

I can't believe how afraid people are of knives. I also really hate the term "illegal" because it sounds bad but it's just a bunch of rules made for political reasons and many times have little backing in rational of being illegal or had a temporary reason for being illegal but then legalizing that illegal action/object is difficult to do. I have the Morpho 51 Black btw.

[@GageMason]

Yea, there are knives plenty more dangerous than balis that are legal lol. It's just dumb political reasoning that kills all the fun.

[@kevindellatore]

its just because they're "scary" to 70 year old white politicians who have obviously never done anything bad in life.

[@joobin814]

apparently it's because you can hide a pretty mean blade while it's folded and you can engage the blade really fast which makes it dangerous?

[@wavyhomeboy]

@@joobin814 its also illegal because the ER room were crowded due to self inflicted balisong wounds lol

[@joobin814]

They are 100% legal in Texas :)

100% legal in Kentucky! Come down here and flip all day long man!

[@AlexrYoung]

I know exactly what you mean about being attached to your knife man, I've had this cheap bear Bali I bought from a friend for about 2 years now and it's a huge part of my life. currently waiting for its BM51 replacement from US, but I will always keep and remember this knife for all we've been through

[@cradilyz]

the first guy defs lowkey wanted to keep it, tried to threaten you and all that shit lol

[@chrispressey7622]

The quality of this video is just amazing bro.

[@lukekostrewa]

Recently in Wisconsin there was a Knife Law Reform Bill, AB 142, that lifts virtually all restrictions on knives including: buying, selling, conceal carrying, and use of all knives unless there's criminal or malicious intent obviously. It's pretty awesome

[@Biblicalgiants]

What year were those blue handled 51s made? I love the look of those. They're not in the 2018 catolouge. Good upload!

[@gamingandwhatevs]

I know I'm super late, but it looks like Black Friday 2014.

[@xephachi]

I remember when I first started getting into flipping I'd carry around a couple CCC's and some friends were super wary of the legality and questioning my choices, people who were fine with underage drinking and smoking weed, and the change in tone regarding knives reallly irked me. I never flashed them in public or worse, flipped them out in the open, but I ended up filling that role with trainers or Baliyos. I think at best you can talk to people about knives and if their attitude seems to border on 'omg dangerous weapons only used to stab people' I'd definitely not talk about my knife hobby because I definitely get some odd questions about regarding my mental health or neurotic hobby. I think I've only gotten in trouble once going to a JPL Open House and I forgot I had my Griptilian on me. The cops there were sorta cool with it, no lectures or questioning, just that they would hold onto it until I was leaving. Another time I had a neck knife going into a Dave & Busters w/ a metal detector and the mallcop there was pretty sloppy but he just told me I should put it in my car instead of letting him hold onto it (because he didn't actually have any sort of confiscation box for 'contraband')

[@einstien1925]

xephyr88 I know they are 100% legal in my state no matter if your conceal or open carrying or the blade length, but suddenly these fucking dipshits suddenly become legal experts and claim you can only have a blade under 3 inches

[@Blazerghost]

@@einstien1925 yep, because like the other guy said. Underage drinking? Nahhh, underage sex? Nahhh, underage smoking? Nahhh GET THE LEGAL KNIFE GUYS! THEY'RE A MENACE TO SOCIETY.

Ahhhhh he was growing “trees”

[@ifeellikeyeezus8525]

They are illegal in some states such as California

[@copperjarhead]

you can own them, just not carry ones over 2 inches in blade length

[@bobafett215x]

yup :( and I'm about to pick up a Benchmade 63, and I might be moving to cali in a few months depending on if i get a specific job, meaning I can't carry my balis like I used to back here in PA.

[@crappymachines7567]

i live in geermany and as some of you might know, balis are illegal here too... so it was me and i was so interested in these knives, that i build my own. i could have bought a trainer, but i was 15 years old and my mum hates knives so much. and because of that and the fact that i am a big cs go fan, i went to a hardware store and bought some iron bars. it was a hell lot of work, but at the end i finished my own cs go butterfly knive. i really got used to flip with this 300g bali and took it with me way too often. one day i had to bay for that. i took it out at a littel prom and at the evening we went to a kebab restaurant. i fliped under the table while waiting and suddenly a group of guys asked me if this is a butterfly knive. i told them kind of, but the blade is not even sharp and is 4mm plain thick. so he came over showed me his id card and i realised he is a cop and i am fucked up. i explained everything to him when we were outside, but the fact, that it is still pointed at the top was not good for me. we actually liked each other quite well, but at the end he called the police to bring me home. the worst moment of my life, was the moment when my mum opened the door and saw my with two officers beside me. they were nice to me too, but they had to reimburse criminal complaint to me.... a few days later the police office called at home and they said i can come and get my bali back, because they drop the complaint on me and i dont have to fear any other problems, as long as i keep it at my home. since then i only built bali trainers. but the good thing is, that i now have a big storry to tell. XD sorry for the english guys and thanks for reading this text👌

[@nasknifeboi]

i have a good story i brought mine to school right and then my schoolmate borrowed it and his classmate borrowed it from him then she started flipping it (like a noob) in front of their teacher which sucks cuz i lost it and didnt get it back ps my grammar sucks

Do you go to church? Would help with loneliness, and a lot of other things. God bless

Mr. Shark[TeamPlayLast] I have one finished and it's fantastic, but I won't be able to finish the rest of this batch until I get back from college for spring or summer break

[@fnargler]

I met a cop at Subway a while back and chatted with him about knife laws. I edc a Nathan Dewey custom and flip it every day. Thankfully the only knives that are illegal in AK are Ballistic knives.

[@edcgirl1175]

I Love your story time videos Calvin! :) had to start a playlist, lol call me lame but I watch them more than once n show my friends. ^^'

[@kevindellatore]

I don't even understand WHY knifes are illegal. Like I understand making extremely large knifes illegal as regular carry. What makes balisongs so much more dangerous than a regular knife? If anything they're more dangerous to the person holding it.

[@balisongnoob1852]

In Cali they aren’t illegal but the blade has to be less or exactly 2 inches long which sucks since not many have small blades so it’s a dumb rule.

Here in Illinois they're not only legal to own but also legal to carry around

[@murkrow1360]

You're not jelly you are Mr. Shark[TeamPlayLast]

[@negevswag7935]

I carry my balisongs (I have two, one trainer, one sharp for self-defense). I flip my trainer in public all the time and nobody gives a shit. I live in Kentucky and people sometimes actually pay me to show other balisong player tricks I learned from you. I fully support you and your flipping.

[@VinEllis]

A knife is pretty terrible for self defense.

[@VinEllis]

Knives are historically an offensive weapon. They're meant to kill someone before they even know an attack is coming.

[@burley404]

you're from Hamilton? I'm from oshawa. maybe you can hook me up with one of these uh...things you flip around in your videos lol. could compensate you for it!

[@EreBus8p]

good to know im not the only one who uses their 51 for a chefs knife i had a similar experience in canada at school and same situation and the head of security gave me the handles with flyti scales on it. and i agree it really makes people uneasy when you flip in public and honestly i rather be alone when im flipping. if the 42 is still for sale in like a month ill buy it and im not that far from where your at in Ontario actually probably like a 9 hour drive

Calvin,looks like we have the same hobbies 😉☺

[@IbtissamTrabelsi]

on my country if you carry knives,any type knives is illegal for self defense reason

[@mrblue251]

Even in the US, even in the military, every time i flip in public and someone who doesnt know me sees it, they ask and/or tell me theyre illegal. Then i tell them they aren't and whatever. Flippers just dont really have a good light to them, even though theres no reason for it. I need a good trainer so that even in public, i can flip and when someone gives me shit, its a trainer, they can fuck off.

[@Midkup]

FELLOW CANADIAN. HEYYYYY

[@Iamthedudeman00]

Oh my god man, with any knife(especially this kind), you should think once before you carry it, you should think twice before you use it in public, you should think three times before you do anything 'dangerous' like this.

[@dylancarter5237]

hey calvinnation are u still selling your 42

[@banannadb2213]

How is the 51 for dealing with food? Does it rust much if you miss a spot cleaning it? Or does it rust even if you clean it? I've never had a d2 knife

[@deepmor9654]

Awesome video! Should make more :D

[@darkinertia2]

its so amazing how sheltered people can be. i seriously have no clue why people get so hung up on balisongs more than anything. honestly, in terms of most knives, theyre probably the worst you could use to stab people with since they take a lot more time to open lol same with automatic knives, sure they have a button but the bladeplay is usually insane yet assisted are totally ok. and the only reason people have a stigma against them is because its "illegal". for the record, id never flip in public and i live in virginia where im actually allowed to carry it lol

[@techiethefox6184]

What's stupid is in most places they aren't even illegal for violence, many of the laws passed restricting them (in the states at least) is due to people cutting themselves with them.

I think people don't know what arrested means... It's not a bad thing. They're just keeping you in confinement to help the case and get more evidence. Being "arrested" doesn't mean going to prison.

[@firedreferee736]

Being in jail for days isn't any good either. Judging by CS GO and this comment, you are obviously a kid. Do you know how long it takes to even get a trial? Do you know how expensive it is to get a lawyer? Do you know that with you being in jail for a while, you'll risk losing your job?

[@StinkyBlack1]

ARDEACT it means going to jail which is often worse than prison. Prisons have pretty strict standards, local jails tend to be pretty shitty.

[@matthewlu150]

its so damn easy to get butterflys in toronto. all you do, message a seller online (either in china, for fake knock off clone BM42's) or in US (for more expensive butterflys) tell them you are in canada, that you are only using it at home to open boxes, what ever. ask them to disassemble it and send it in 2 packages. package 1, blade and screws, package 2, handles and washers. make sure they wait 2 days before sending each package. or they can even send the other package to a friends house. as easy as that. its a bit more expensive, but damn, having a butterfly in canada, where no one else can have one, is a great feeling. Fuck canadian laws, their weed laws and prostitution laws are ok... but their knife laws are retarded... knives are not like guns.... what gangster is going to go through this trouble to get a betterfly knife? what gangster would pay 50$ for a butterfly knife to stab someone with... its just another knife...

[@raccoon344]

[@sammay4538]

Scorch AUS r shit cunts and u can't get a Bali. I know cos I really want one. Best bet is to buy one from butterflyknifekits the best one I know of is the kickass titanium one it has ball bearing bushings and it's the only place I know which imports balis to straya. There is a fuck ton of controversy around the seller tho and the debate of his FU42's. Don't get an FU42 it's not worth it get a sandwich construction titanium one. Spend the extra money it's worth it. Only downside is u have to assemble it ur self and I may or may not be taken by customs it shouldn't be tho. Buy the least threatening one I suppose. I have feel ur pain man straya sucks on the knife front

[@ScorchHDTV]

straya may be shit cunts but the laws on butterfly knifes are fuckin ridiculous. a specially importing even trainers to AUS is not allowd by customs. over it mate.. bloody over it..
