Unbelievable collection, Ive never seen anything like this. Thank you for sharing. I wish Benchmade would just bring back the 4x series, even if it were only for limited drops.
I don't always buy balisongs. But when I do, I prefer very expensive ones that I make snobby videos about. Stay salty my friends. (Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video)
Your collection is VERY impressive! It's a shame you don't flip but I am glad that someone is keeping track of all of them and collecting pieces of history.
Genuinely fantastic collection. I couldn't bring myself to flip them but just admiring a collection like this should be enough for anyone with two brain cells. GREAT vid.
I love balisongs i only knew a few Benchmade models. This is very interesting seeing how they changed when time passes. I like to learn about new stuff when i get the chance! Great video!!
This is what butterfly knives are supposed to look like in my book. That classic silver skeletonized handle look is so menacing. Half of these boutique knives now days look like a fucking 20 dollar multi-tool. I'd be happy to get one of these one day to stand above my cheap ones
When i see Balisong knifes and lots and lots and another,lots of types on today's market,hi tech materials and then only think,what we have before 10+ years when i start with flipping and learning some hard combos with many Chinese and other bad,crappy,falling a part knifes and get lucky if we find only one so so "good" Bali and we are so happy..You guys don't have a clue how lucky you R
The majority of these were widely available on eBay back in the early 2000s i remember collecting the low end balisongs like jaguars and bear and co for under $30. Benchmades were sold for about 150-200 new and used ones would go from $75-$200. I was just outta high school a kid working a part time job so I never wanted to spend more then $50 on a balisong. Most of my small paycheck went to the movies on the weekend and dining the high school sweetheart. Wish I picked up a few of these. Always wanted the 49 after seeing the movie face off. Also fact fact u could buy almost any model back in 2000-2003 on Asian knives.com and knifezilla I remember seeing them very cheap not even sure if those knife sites still exist
I was finally able to pick myself up a Benchmade balisong and honestly everything about it is so cool to me I'm glad I did. Not only use it made back in 1985 which means it's pre a Benchmade, Benchmade balisong, not only is it one of Benchmade very few Japanese made balisong, and not only did it Inspire the name butterfly knife, but the blade was hand-ground by the same man who made the swords for the Conan movies
Very impressive collection, thanks for sharing it. Minor correction: the 41 (and other 4x series) handles were both cast AND machined. You have to machine it after casting to get the flat smooth faces and accurate holes. If you didn't, the handle would have the rough texture that you see on the inside of the tang pin cups (not to mention that the tolerances would be abysmal). Also that bit about the mother of pearl cracking because of expansion isn't true. Mother of pearl is very commonly used as an inlay in wood (like in guitar fret boards) and wood expands and contracts far more than any metal due to absorbing and releasing humidity
Im gonna rob this guy's personal favorite balisong, go out the house, flip it while recording and put it back into the collection with a note saying "thanks dood"
Nothing like showing a collection on youtube then sitting back and waiting for.....BOOOOOOM!!!!! Great collection and I hate balisongs. (shhh....dont tell anybody!).
I subscribed at 01:05 bro. You are a repository of Benchmade balisong data and do due diligence in preparation. How this video isn't at 50,000 views is a mystery. I'm going to benge watch your channel 😁!
Very impressive collection and i personally,never so collection like this one...beautiful...you are a lucky guy for sure!!You need a money and a time and a lots of luck to find and collect so many nice knifes and i envy you,specially cos i love very much Balis but have only some Chinese s#@t in my country...but what to do!!Love your collection and good luck for trucking more nice Balis and everything best ! ! !
Great collection! Appreciate you sharing I'm and betting your collection has grown since the making of this video . It would be nice to see any new blades you aquire .
Thanks. It does take a certain amount of luck, especially in the beginning. You need to have funds ready for knife drops, and those are hard to anticipate coming from private sellers. In the later stages you get to know people and finding rare pieces gets easier, though no less expensive.
Surprised I did not see a anodized 42A T latch in your collection I think they were a limited of 500 I had one stolen many years ago wish I still had it only recently did I get a great 42 I live close to th BM factory and have wandered in many times over the years seeing a few of these peices great collection by the way Amazing
Unlike some of the people in the comment section, I envy your collection of balisongs. I'm not going to complain or say that you sound like a snob and are showing off these knives to brag. I imagine you have a job which is how you are able to buy all these knives and that it took a while to get all of them. By the way great collection.
Insane video great collection, your Bali’s are very nice and it would be great to see some individual videos going a bit more into depth about the anatomy an history of each blade, maybe start of with the three DM Bali’s.
Awesome collection man ! I have a benchmade balisong,I fucking love it,the design,sharpness and weight all are lit !! Just started a day ago,had to cover the blade with tape 😂😂 !!
To everyone saying get a job I say, try buying one of these without having a job or fixed income, then I will be impressed. No stealing now! Nice collection, regardless of all the crackpipes you peddled.
hey bro ...i have a pacific cuttlery ...which was benchmades first name ...first run pat num4,364,174 balisong has the butterfly on blade ...stainless steel milled handles. beautiful except for the very tip on knife is broke...factory can put new tip on on it will just be shorter but still retain blade stampings...u need this for your collection...let me know if interested ....very rare
"And the Lord descended from On High, and came into the midst of them, and said unto them 'let no man who follows the Law be forbidden the use of arms'. And He bade them write the Second Amendment, saying unto them 'thou shalt be shepherds of My flock. Satan works ever to spread his corruption in the minds of men, and turn them from the path of Righteousness to thievery and criminality. You, the Law Abiding, shall send these infected sheep unto the Lord thy God that I may judge and purify them. Where Satan prevails, the just fear the unjust. But where the Lord thy God prevails, the unjust shall fear the just, and commit no crimes lest they answer to the hail of fire and lead that it is the sacred right of all free men to dispense.'" The Gospel according to Browning
Is there such thing as holy trinity of knives in Balisongs? For example Chris Reeves, strider, hinderer. Looking for few balisongs to buy to keep for my collection
as a Benchmade collector all I can say is HOLY CRAP
YOUR SO RIGHT

Ike I NEVER WVEN KNEW THISNMANY EXISTED WHAT THW CRIXK HOWWW

Please do an update or just more of this PLEASE!
Ikr
Loolll
@@unhandyflyer447 yes
hi
Where are you dude?
That moment when you realize he has about $62,000 in balisongs and you can't even afford one. I'm jealous.
One day i hope to make enough money to have the spending cash to afford even one of these lmao
The moment you realized your only a worker bee
jon lipton why hope? Get of your ass and work for it
I buy mine from wish for like 20 dollars xD
Same
Finally, somebody who knows what they are talking about, you really know your stuff dude, nice!
Unbelievable collection, Ive never seen anything like this. Thank you for sharing. I wish Benchmade would just bring back the 4x series, even if it were only for limited drops.
Lots of salt in these comments.
Very informative video, and great job with this collection.
I don't always buy balisongs. But when I do, I prefer very expensive ones that I make snobby videos about.
Stay salty my friends.
(Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video)
Lol fuck the salty kids keep doing what your doing man
1986mpv can I borrow the salt I need some
@@1986mpv ur at 69 likes
this remains one of my all time favorite go to videos. seriously i watch this like once a month lol
When you’re trying to go to sleep?
@@chilldudeace that's what I use it for. His voice is calming
Your collection is VERY impressive! It's a shame you don't flip but I am glad that someone is keeping track of all of them and collecting pieces of history.
no balisongs were flipped in the making of this video
Fr I was wondering this, if you have that many you have to be able to flip it a little bit
@Zak wouldn't doubt he has one for flipping at least
Genuinely fantastic collection. I couldn't bring myself to flip them but just admiring a collection like this should be enough for anyone with two brain cells. GREAT vid.
I love balisongs i only knew a few Benchmade models. This is very interesting seeing how they changed when time passes. I like to learn about new stuff when i get the chance! Great video!!
Great video, not only a chance to see some beautiful knives but also very informative. Thank you!
Damn! That's a very impressive Collection!
Sir you have the best collection of balisongs I have ever seen and you should consider starting to flip them
It takes a lot of dedication to get to this point, respect.
Holy crap man, thats a great collection! Do you have other Balisongs as well besides BM's? Would love to see them. You got my sub
+FlipZone Nope, nothing but BMs now. I might get back a Tach 3, as I was impressed with it. Or branch into customs
+Christopher Dugas Not really. I can do a few basic moves. Nothing fancy.
+1986mpv Whats the point of paying so much for them and not even learning to flip them?
They're pieces of Benchmade history, which is why I don't flip them. I have a CCC I practice my limited moveset with.
This is what butterfly knives are supposed to look like in my book. That classic silver skeletonized handle look is so menacing. Half of these boutique knives now days look like a fucking 20 dollar multi-tool. I'd be happy to get one of these one day to stand above my cheap ones
I don’t care you don’t flip, you have a very cool collection and you have gave me a lot of information about pretty much every 4x knife.
What a fantastic collection! You have museum pieces. Those gold class blades are something else.
Stunning Collection and Knowledge! Loved the Video

I love the fact that at the end he says "And that's it." Like it's a minuscule collection of common Balisongs.
That 43-401 is awesome
Amazing collection, and great source of information!
Every time you slid your finger across the blade I cringed a little.
I would love a 4x with zen pins.

wow. i usually have ccc's but im getting my first 51 morpho soon. wonderful collection.
Thanks for sharing! Very impressive collection. Some really beautiful knives. Thumbs up!
Very impressive collection, and your BM knowledge is equally impressive. I must say the matched set of DM09s is something I have never seen before.
best balison video on TH-cam. i enjoy watching vids like these while i flip my brs barebones
I just got my first 42 ^_^ after years of looking!!
Would love to see an updated collection. Yours is the best I've seen bar none
Thank you for sharing! You have an amazing collection!
Outstanding collection!!!! Thanks for sharing
Great video and collection. I sold most of my Benchmades, but I do have a 42 military finish. Don't see too many of those.
Amazing collection. Would love to see it now
I've been watching this video for years and years...and I just now realized....I have 42-400 #83/125...!

Great collection! Appreciate you sharing I'm and betting your collection has grown since the making of this video . It would be nice to see any new blades you aquire .
awesome collection. my fav's are the 47's and that rare 48.
Greatest Bali video ever...even if there aren’t any Tachyons in it....
Really nice collection, man.
Excellent collection 👍I do see some missing specimens though...
Future video: Man trades balisong collection for Porsche 911.
Your collection is amazing! You a really lucky to have been able to aquire all of these. Also sucks that so many people hate your accent.
Thanks. It does take a certain amount of luck, especially in the beginning. You need to have funds ready for knife drops, and those are hard to anticipate coming from private sellers. In the later stages you get to know people and finding rare pieces gets easier, though no less expensive.
Just got my 63. Going to get all these someday.

Damn this is such a dream collection😍😍😍
Thank you so much for sharing! Apparently there's a lot I don't know about Benchmade knives XD

Nicest collection on youtube! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice collection you have there.
Amazing collection, great video!
for a second I thought dr miller was telling me about an scp, not a video about balisongs.
Hitgirl liked this video.
This was 8 years ago…..Bro could probably trade the collection in for a Lambo by now
I love your collection
Beautiful collection buddy.
Insane video great collection, your Bali’s are very nice and it would be great to see some individual videos going a bit more into depth about the anatomy an history of each blade, maybe start of with the three DM Bali’s.
His voice makes me want to hurt him but this collection truly is a thing of beauty.
Awesome collection man ! I have a benchmade balisong,I fucking love it,the design,sharpness and weight all are lit !!
Just started a day ago,had to cover the blade with tape 😂😂 !!
Holy shit you have an amazing collection.
Incredible collection. I thought I was hot stuff with a standard 42 new in the box😂
Godliest benchmade 4x collection ever
Balisong ❤️ Thank you for not calling it any other name.👍
awesome video
The benchmade model 49 always reminds me of face/off movie with Nicolas cage and John Travolta
I was going to say that you can't take them with you, but then I realized you could have them put in the coffin. So.... yeah. Nice collection.
To everyone saying get a job I say, try buying one of these without having a job or fixed income, then I will be impressed. No stealing now!
Nice collection, regardless of all the crackpipes you peddled.
Dang man, all these people are so jellous... nice collection btw :)

Amazing 😍😍
I love how he has all these special editons but doesn’t have a single regular 42 lol
Cause it’s not as rare as most of the other ones
damn I feel so bad cause i cant even find a single benchmade in the 40 series. thank good care of them sir.
