Emmett Ochrach-Konradi That's more of an extreme case. But yes, that's true. Anyway, I've already got an awesome balisong, it's a BRS Replicant, and I'm super happy with it (and broke) so it'll be a while before I get a new balisong. If I get into collecting, I will try to get one of these genuine Filipino Balisongs.

I recently found out my family was originally from Batangas and that it was tradition to know how to use a balisong at a young age. Being in the US and not having much contact with that side of my family, I try to find ways to feel closer to them and my heritage. Watching this video really makes me want to make a balisong by hand like the man does in the video. I already have a file kit and hopefully with patience I can make a passing approximation to the beauty he has spent his life perfecting.

That's amazing. I would love to become a professional balisong maker. I would experiment with other types of metals and various designs of course, but that looks like so much fun and to have a product that you can look back at and say, I made that would be the most amazing thing in the world

To Western manufacturers, they view this knife as a moth. I personally think of it as an unpainted butterfly with white wings. After a couple more years we have more stunning types of balisongs with more variety. That's the beauty of technology. Something is missing. After that something else is missing. And so on and so forth.
@ricktherrien82354 жыл бұрын
The balisong was created as a surprise weapon. It was quickly deployed and kept in motion to distract the eye of the opponent. By its constant motion and quick attack the opponent was unable to make contact with the person and the user had a strong advantage. Also the persons ability creates doubt in the opponent and more confidence in the person with the knife, it was a perfect design to create control In a confrontation.

U get a really good quality balisong for $10.70 in pangasinan which is in Philippines. Benchmade 42's are like 300 bucks I think. Bencade 42 is also good quality but I would rather get a man made knife that has been treated with a lot of care and time than a factory made one. So if I were you, I would go to Philippines to go get one. it's only 500 pesos.

Mr Ona markets himself on his facebook account as a Knifemaker / Master Blademaker, but on this interview ( 2:50 ) he admits that he does not know how to make knives. He is just a dealer :-( Here's the English translation: I am Diosdado Reyes Ona, born November 8, 1950, living here in 114 Balisong Town, Batangas. I got married here in 1970. When did you start making balisongs? I started selling balisongs year 2000. So, from then on, since I started out being an OFW (overseas Filipino worker) and too old to dabble in construction, so I decided to continue this craft in our barangay (community). Because, if you don’t care for it, it goes out of circulation quicker, as a source of living in our barangay. Who are your usual customers? Our frequent customers are mostly locals but sometimes, maybe once a month, there are foreigners who visit, because foreigners are looking for quality balisongs. They are happy to find quality balisong built with care. How many balisongs do you sell in one day? In the span of one day, we sell some. But sometimes, a week passes without having sold any. It’s very hard to sell it because it’s considered a deadly weapon. If it’s so hard to sell the balisong, why do you continue todo this, even if you don’t profit from it? That’s how we show we care for the culture, because if wedon’t care for it, it will go out of circulation quicker. Do you know how to build a balisong? I don’t know how to build a balisong, but I know how to design a good balisong. And how I improve the handiwork is from my critiquing as to how to build a proper balisong. Would you pass this craft down to your children? At the moment, I have one child, a daughter, and a grandchild who is also a girl, so I may pass it down to my son-in-law when he Show less

@551taylor Жыл бұрын
Balisongs are banned in the UK, as are all lock knives, but I would like one for display and practice purposes only. As a fighting weapon the user is more dangerous to himself if he doesn’t understand that the balisong is only for slicing and dicing, and shouldn’t be used for stabbing because, if you hit a bone, the rivets will pop and you are left with a broken knife. Worse, because there is no guard, when you stab someone your hand can slide down the blade and cause you a serious injury and leave your DNA at the scene.

Okay, I'm confused. He peened the pins to the Blade. Then he held it by the handles while he shaped the Blade on the Grindstone-making no particular effort to spare any Hypothetical "Temper" that piece of Steel might have had. Then we see him Heating the Blade in a Flame-probably to Temper it since he covered it with dirt-presumably to let it cool more slowly. Did he only peen the pins on one side the FIRST time that he set them-or were they truly set the first time-or did he Drill the First pins out? Anyway-Thanks for a fascinating Video. .....RVM45
@obertone32429 жыл бұрын
RVM451 I'ma, try to answer one of your questions. When he hit the wire-axle for both the blade and handles, he straighten'd it up so an both sides of wood, hammer, and anvil would flatten into a kind of "double nail", with the balisong parts in-between. Did that answer your question? No?... I'm sorry that i mistaken all of your questions, I have gotten confused with all the "-" you have laid. And again i am sorry.
@RVM4519 жыл бұрын
Obertone3 That helps. I was wondering. He builds the Knife, including pinning the blade to the handles. Then later he's shown heat-treating the blade, and the blade is no longer pinned to the handles. What happened to the pins that held the knife together earlier? …..RVM45
