Jon's Balisong Blunders
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 12 พ.ย. 2023
My name is Jon and I am here to bring you along for my blunders with balisongs aka butterfly knives. I currently am horrible at flipping but decided to buy some of the best rated balisongs you can buy for flipping. Thanks to Will Hirsch for the inspiration.
My current collection includes:
Kershaw Lucha in Blackwash - eh don't buy
Flytanium Talisong Z Scimitar in Black - Solid starter but has bearings
Squid Industries Krake Raken V3 in Pink - best starter and has bushings
MachineWise SlifT Full Channel x Serif in Pink - ring ting king
MachineWise Prysma Pro x SlifT Blade in Green - best budget and over champ of thwak chwak
MachineWise Serif x Opus in Surprise Me (yellow green - green fade w/ purple distress) - the black Friday special
Fellowship Blades Gaboon in Spectral Blue - I have 2 and thinking of 3
Fellowship Blades Gaboon in Vibe Fade - I have 2 and thinking of three
T7 Metalworks Xyphoid in Purple aka Grimace Shake - has my 💜 and feels special.

let's do some light mods on my A51 Apollo Balisong 😏
A51 came out with some glow spacers for the Apollo and I thought they were pretty cool looking so I decided to order a pair. In addition to these glow spacers he sent me some chopsticks which were sent to the first 10 people who bought the Apollo as well as some 3D printed neutral spacers which I quite enjoy. I also purchased a red python Bali slip for my lite tech but that's for another video. A51 has really stepped up his game for packaging. Those little things are really nice as a customer. I wish I was better at flipping to really show off these glow spacers but anyone who has the Apollo and is a competent flipper should definitely get them as they will make your IG videos stick out!

I broke my JK Design Litetech, let's fix it with some mods 😈
มุมมอง 1163 หลายเดือนก่อน
So it turns out the screws in the litetech are made of titanium. This requires a softer bit so that it doesn't strip the screw. So I asked JK if I could order some new black screws and I got myself some new red slotted scales as well as some different bolsters to swap out for fun. Let's see how easy this is...

The Benchmade Necron should have been THIS! Litetech by JK Design #balisong #balisongflipping
มุมมอง 2813 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Litetech by JK Design is what the Benchmade Necron promised to be. A balisong for flippers. Titanium liners with g10 and titanium scales, T10 hardware throughout (a minus for me since I like T15,) bushings 🙄, and a high price tag to match. However this isn't made in a massive factory getting touched by many workers, no. This is made by an individual with a passion for balisongs and skin in ...

i wish to have this dexterity some day
The wise balisong makers are at the top
So small in ur hands
❤❤❤ love the purple voltaic
He does a nice job on his ano
When I’m excited about a new acquisition, your the only one that’s got a video of it up already 😂 do what you do brother, them hands gotta be safe to make that Bali money lol
Is your new acquisition the Apollo or just the light up ends? I think the Apollo is probably my favorite acquisition of 2024 of which there were many...
@jonsbalisongblunders both! I’m still waiting on the lights, but it’s amazing man! I’m a bit obsessive when it comes to tunes, and the Apollo is perfect! Did not expect to be so happy with it honestly, and excited to see what he has in the works!
Your fliping style has become so unique
I plateau quite a bit but I'm ok with what I know. Love blades still scare me 💀 I don't do aerial's with them and only do roll overs with certain ones.
I want that
Yeah definitely be careful of the tip, I just opened it up a few hours ago and got stabbed. NOT FUN! 😂
Got it thanks for letting me know over all feel u sold me on beater edc have you handled the Bradley kimura butterfly knife?
@@fishxfryed945 no I have mostly flippers flytanium and squid. Ldy does decent balisongs but all flippers. But there are good made balisongs that aren’t flippers. You just gotta know what your looking for
Its looks nice but Thic
I had a baliplus kraken I swapped the hardware for the vulp aswell stuck out a smige but flipped way better
That’s why flytanium makes beater handles for it
Hey quick question - I have looked at the Flytanium Aluminum Channel handles, for the Lucha, on their site (always out of stock) but can not tell - Do they have ANY accomodations for a latch? I know they are meant for "real" flippers who aren't needing the device to really be so much of a "knife" so I know their not gonna give me threaded holes for a clip but do they at least allow for a latch? I like to flip a little. I'm nothing special - basic rollovers an all BUT, to me, it always has to be a KNIFE first soi really need to be able to lock it closed without the little rubber boot.
@ no. But I they have boots to keep them close in pocket. Plus theyre handles are longer than any other balisong
@@InTateWeTrust1 Appreciate the info 👍
I noticed you’re holding the knife in two different ways in this video and the tutorial video you have. I think proper way is this one.
Machinewise is S tier in every category 😍
So jealous you have a prysma
How much are they tho
Beautiful. Visually, puts the good ol vault case to shame
Almost cried watching this😢
Thanks for the tip bro I feel you on aerials those are scary I do NOT wanna try those without this trick
Can you shred on that abasi
For something so simple palm fans are surprisingly hard
Dude, your basic openings are gettjng buttery smooth!
I like the Lucha for edc. Also I’m not a flipper. I just know how to open and close lol
Iv had a Zenith about 10 days now. I'm very new to balisong but have been a knife enthusiast my while life. The Zenith is a little too chunky for me. I think my next trainer is the Talsong z. The slimmer rounder handles will be better for me.
Rev cherrypicker!
I wish 😮💨 that's guna take a LOT of practice 😂
😂 "he's been stuck in a chaplain for days. He forgot to use a trainer and is afraid to let it go. Anything could happen. Someone bring him some water."
Please God help me 🙏😭
😂🗡️@@JonsBalisongBlunders
Go into a full twirl
Exactly what I was gonna say, pretty simple and looks great
Ayy let's goo!!
What a fucking loser this would be about as useful as collecting dildos why don't you just shove these up your ass
The sarcasm is mint.
I like mints 🍬
Im not a pro flipper by any means, but ive tried some of my friend's high end balisongs, and they mostly just sound like toys imo The luncha sounds clunky and metallic, but I feel like im flipping a tool
Curious what balisongs you have flipped from your friends high-end collection. It's all preference so if you like it you like it 👍
@@JonsBalisongBlunders Bionic, Krake Raken V3, and some stuff from machinewise. I always gravitate back my my steel and carbon luchas
That sounded sexual and I do not approve.
The have led handle caps that fit on a wide variety of balisongs on zippy balisong
@noextent
Good to know 👍 these were made specifically for the Apollo by A51 so it's an exact fit that also extends the handles slightly. But love the stuff that zippy produces for the community 🤘
@@JonsBalisongBlunders fr!
I’d love one, it’s just pinsless knives are so bad when it comes to durability imo, and for that much money, I just can’t see myself every wanting one
This is not pin less 👍
@@JonsBalisongBlundersthen I think I’m in love
I'm so jelly
Great unboxing, love your video! thank you!
Thank you for watching and commenting on my videos 🤘🙏
Thank you for sharing your experience with it, I love my Apollo and Dylan is such a nice man to deal with! I view myself more as a collector than a flipper. Balisongs are for everybody to love, flipper or not, those who have too big an ego should sit back and stop judging others, the balisong community is NOT only for those who flip well!
Thank you I think the main thing I'm trying to convey other than that I'm not that good at flipping is that someone who is good at flipping will likely have some very cool clips to share on Instagram using these. I appreciate your sentiment and agree with you that it's okay to just be a collector of these high-end balisongs. Thanks for watching 🤘👊
You don’t suck at flipping guy. The skill ceiling is just too damn high. We all have a unique level of commitment to perfection in the hobby. Enjoying your uploads good sir.
I appreciate the sentiment but if we're being honest I'm like beginner to intermediate at best but pretty solidly beginner maybe like an advanced beginner 🤘
hmmm i get the feeling this guy doesnt like trainers
Where u on crack while filming this
I really wanna get an acid wash one with Tiffany blue scales, the ones in his newer drop
Good luck!
Is there anything specific about the litetech the makes it so saught after? Just the maker?
Idk if it's that saught after but that is certainly a big part of it. JK is known for doing quality work.
Small amount of clarity when I said that the body screws are a different size I mean a different lengths. They are still T10, just not the same length as the pivot screws. Slightly shorter 🤘
It flips way better if you only have 1 barrel in it, it reduces a surprising amount of weight
nice i have #0015
Dang! I was hoping to get 15 because 6/15 is my bday 😋 that's cool you got in on the first run too🤘no more magnacut Sonoras for the foreseeable future!
when you do a video on mushrooms
Ha I had a 2 day break from microdosing when I shot this. Nice try though 🤪
good stuff Jon also about the kraken making you a better flipper, i know you're aware that is an exaggeration. However, the difference in flipability becomes much more noticeable when you try to move your elbow & arm less while flipping. looking again it just seems like you move your wrist a lot too, less is more. You inevitably develop flow after that elbow stops moving. Also, i love your content & want to see more. (i would do unspeakable things for the dark green prysma pro) Sorry if i offend i just love flipping & love challenging people.
I really appreciate those tips and it is something that I will work at 🙏 IDK why but I'm just not a huge fan of how the Kraken feels but it is undeniably a wonderful balisong for anyone to choose to flip. I do have some wild movements and I need to tame it down 😮💨 if you've got any other advice from what you see from me on other vids feel free to comment. I know I'm not that good so I'll always take any feedback to get better 🤘 now if I'm able to apply the feedback that's a different thing 😂 Green Prysma Pro.... doesn't ring a bell. NO CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. I def don't have a green Prysma Pro 🤔🤔🤔would be pretty cool if I did though 😏😉
Me when I spread misinformation on the internet:
I only spread the truth sir.
😭😭💀 This had me weak asf
Glad you appreciated my stupid comedy 😁
Try some push-ups, that's probably what Jon does to be so strong so he can flip the Lyra and not be a wimp like me.
thanks for the stone tip, ordering a live blade for my orca clone, but i dont want to lose all that confidence
Just be careful the tip can still get you! And boy will it remind you that the stabbing is still in full force. Definitely be wearing shoes and just hope it doesn't go through your leg or something 😂😂😂
Damn nice trick
