Unboxing the Nabalis CANYON!! - Crazy cheap balisong 👌🤑🗻

[@zeeGee01]

I’ve heard that wrenches and tools get attached to the blade for the exact reason you mentioned as well, to get through customs. Just what I’ve heard on Reddit.

[@gadz00ki]

nabalis confirmed it on someone else’s review. I believe it was a review of the Wing

[@thomasstewart1380]

​@@gadz00kiThey confirmed it on the Blade Bias Wing unboxing.

[@RuiMartins69]

​@@gadz00kican confirm it, received one myself. And Yes, true.

[@Buster7-7]

I think this has gone to the top of my list of balis to buy, purely because I want to increase my collection and as someone who is still a beginner and a student, this at the price seems like a no-brainer to give a go. Another great video gotta love a will flips upload!

Sold out I saw wing and I was sure they wouldn’t realise another on soo sooon so I slept on it

[@lukenoble7411]

Completely perfect beater, cheap durable and at least in my opinion learning on a heavier knife can give you phenomenal flow when getting into lighter more nimble knives

Dang definitely one for my wish list. I love the look of the false live blade. Great vid as always Will! ❤🙏

[@Thebiggestboyrizz]

12:50 "it do a flip it jus do it kinda slowly" was really funny to me

[@KrypticOG]

all nabalis products get sent with the wrench top now, my vulp got stopped at customs and they had to resend it with the wrench top for it to pass same with the nabalis wing i bought and i copped the canyon yesterday

[@reviewforthetube6485]

That is in fact how they come because of customs. Lol the crazy part is its the first SS bali ive ever seen. It sounds good also. They did fantastic for $50 lol. You know what I really love? Its 4.4 to 4.5oz! Perfection!

[@ChrisMac87]

my Vulp came with one of those wrenches. It was also labelled "bottle opener" on the shipping label.

[@TheBuffnessFlips]

Me checking every fricken frame for the Machinewise collab Bali 😂 “is it in that bush?”

[@spyroclone152]

Just got my Canyon yesterday (Trainer blade version), and I gotta say ... this thing is freaking awesome. I don't know how Nabalis did it, but they somehow managed to make an all Steel balisong feel lighter than it actually is. This thing is supposed to weigh 4.33oz, but it more feels like it's as light as the vulp imo. I think the big reason why that is has to do with the awesome ergonomics and reduced handle material. Most of my aluminum balisongs feel chunky in comparison to the canyon. The handle profile is skeletonized with speed channel and concave cutouts that provides some of the best grip I've ever felt on a metal balisong. I definitely think Nabalis took some design queues from Machinewise as the handles remind me of the skeletonized titanium construction from something like the SlifT. If anything, this balisong is emulating the feel of a titanium flipper. The Canyon can do rollovers, fans, and especially chaplins really well, making it a perfect beater/learning tool. Only time will tell if the tolerances and durability will hold up with the pinless design. But so far, this is incredibly solid out of the box and can make for the perfect gift for someone who is just getting into flipping. Heavily recommend folks try it out. The only downside I'm having is that my wrist will really feel the strain after a prolonged flipping session. But if anything, flipping this balisong will make going back to my aluminum trainers feel like feathers in comparison lol.

[@danigames9509]

Omggggg i have been waighting for review on that

It's really amazing that in my day a decade ago, the choices you had were a $50 bear and son that the handle pins failed in a week, and the next was a $250 BM51. Nothing in between besides a Bradley kimura.

[@nuclearflame3855]

I bought this today! I bought the trainer black acid wash, cant wait for it! I’ll probably use it as a beater, since I think the marks on it won’t effect how it looks negatively much! First balisong with this aesthetic for me!

[@elijahsantossss3525]

Same I bought mine acid wash black last night

[@yoshyfoods]

This thing would probably make for a great and super durable beater, given its steel

[@SG0813]

I’m curious about what the extra pieces of horizontal metal on the trainer’s safe handle is? Pieces that were supposed to be clipped but snuck through inspection?

Nabalis's factory was located in Yangjiang, and china is well known for it's strict custom laws... When the product being scanned it will show up as a wrench!

[@vCopyright]

Hear me out! When the wrench thing is between the handels the balisong cant close completely and border x Ray things see that this isnt a real balisong so theres no need for further checking if its an illegal item. (just a theory on why its there). My vulp also came with it.

[@aditTD]

They manipulate it like that because in some parts of the country there are certain requirements for the supply of sharp objects and by manipulating them like a wrench they can manipulate the conditions of entry of goods in some countries. including in my country indonesia...maybe i think...

[@lexar4035]

what's with the bars in the handle of the trainer??

[@WillHirschFlips]

I think it's a thing that was supposed to be removed but they missed?

[@arcflibali]

If Nabalis hasn't told you yet, the wrench blade attachment is for customs since they don't usually allow knives like that according to country/state laws. Knives that could be hidden like OTF knives, Flip knives, and Balisong's.

[@CruzThinks]

its slower due to weight paired with bushings and wonky weight patterns (my experience)

[@francsupnet4280]

could you review the flytainum Zenith trainer bali, i was looking to get it soon and was wondering if i could get yours or other opinions on it b4 getting it

[@spyroclone152]

I personally have the zenith trainer and have been flipping it for about a month. Some things to note: - This Balisong is made in China, so hardware quality may vary. - The Pivots use the inferior T8 screw hardware with one of the screws possibly stripped out of the box for me. - The handles are made from a rigid 7075 Aluminum with speed channels and a nice, grippy wave pattern that gives substantial grip compared to the Vulp imo. - The ends of the handles are slightly angled, which may hinder the execution of palm fan style tricks. - This knife has a particularly neutral weight distribution, which makes it surprisingly easy to learn fans on despite it's blade shape. - The zen nipple is particularly longer than most other offerings, which is prone to pinching. I myself have been pinched a couple of times. - There is a noticeable ring on this knife due to the blade shape and speed channels. (I really like it but it may annoy some folks) - No tap or play out of the box. - You will need a bite handle indicator since the Zenith blade is a dagger style design with no distinct edge. - The jimping is a little subtle, but substantial enough to provide sufficient grip for ladder tricks. - Chaplins are pretty much on par with the Vulp, which is not that great unless you give a bigger circumference to perform those tricks. - This thing was DRY out of the box. Lube immediately after unboxing. - Boxy handles make the knife feel chonkier than it actually is. I believe this knife weighs 4.25oz, which is a nice sweet spot for having some weight without being overbearing on the wrist. My overall thoughts are that the Zenith trainer is an absolute miracle to be made of 7075 aluminum for a $60 price. The Zenith blade is great looking imo. The flipping performance is on par with most of the other entry budget range balisongs like the Vulp, or most Amazon flippers. However, I will say that this knife has some of the best overall grip compared to the other offerings due to its pattern and speed channels. I was able to learn some tricks like the Short Stop on this thing, as well as some beginner fan combos. I particularly baby my balisongs, so I cannot speak for long term durability. What I do know is that the bushings system is pretty solid so I didn't have to adjust any screws just yet. The only semi-dealbreaker would probably be those T8 screws that they use. It makes it particularly difficult to disassemble since you can easily strip the screws with the wrong screwdriver tension. Another con is that the zen nipple juts out pretty far compared to other balisongs. I have been pinched a couple of times. But aside form that, the milling is very soft and overall comfortable. Overall, an incredibly solid offering that can be used as a beater thanks to its material. I'd say you've got nothing to lose if you decide to pick up this trainer due to its cheap price, and nice warranty.

[@PDG4]

$50 is actually pretty nice.
