Just wanted to say, I ordered the upgraded pivot and screws from the top link when this video went up cuz I was curious, just installed them today and it’s a very nice noticeable upgrade. Just makes everything feel a lot more solid during flipping. Also it works with a T10 wiha driver
Hey will just wanna say I think you're doing a hell of a good job with the vulp launch, I know how stressful this kinda stuff can get but I think you're handling it extraordinarily well. Keep up the great work man!
Never tuned any knives took this apart and it sat apart for 2 days before I started watching tuning videos and got the VULP back together with less tap and play than when I got it!
For everyone that bought the Vulp before the change would nabalis consider selling the hardened screws separate or send some to people that bought it I just got this the part where you mentioned you hope they do :p
After being in personal touch with Nabalis they claim the following: The upgraded (new) extra hardware package will be sold separate A small manufacturer error happened with a few Hardware Packages that were sent with the original Vulp. The error was that the Hardware Packages had broken pivot threads and more, the people who got these can get a free new hardware package with the hardened screws for free if those people contact them. I was one of them, and was told I will get a new one.
hey, just wanted to come on here and say that I recently took apart my vulp to replace the hardware and im having a whole lot of trouble getting the handles to open up in order to put the washers in, can I have any advice? i tried the solution he used in the video but unfortunately it did not work, even after 20+ tries
I applied the thread locker that came with my nabalis Morse the day after I got it and it had no tap at first but now (a week or so after) it has a little bit of tap but I am sure that the screws did not move, I was wondering if it could be the bushings that compressed or if I tuned it completely wrong lol ( I tightened it a little bit more than the point where the screw doesn't move easily at all). Anyways, was hoping you could give a rational explanation to this mystery of life 😂, love the videos keep it up❤️💪
Hey Will I just got my vulp and I was trying to take out the screws but the pivots were just spinning. I squeezed thé balisong handles as tight as I could while trying to unscrew it but the pivots just spun
A question that I had, that could be a video idea, is how to practice flipping (for how long, how often, is it a good thing to repeatedly do the same tricks or is it better to mix and match everything and practice that way) I watched your how to get flow and how to get better at flipping videos, but I often find myself messing up tricks the more I practice them. Thanks 👍
I would just keep practicing whatever u want or feel like doing. Any time that you put into the hobby, even just messing around is bound to help you improve. Being able to smoothly transition between tricks and have good flow just come from messing up over and over and over again.
You don't have to be locked on to one single way to practice flipping, as everything you've just said is a way to get better. Just mess around and you'll get good, tho I wouldn't suggest spending your time on short tricks, specifically those you see on BigFlip's channel as you won't be using most of them anyways unless you can incorporate them in a way you like if you aren't going to follow the what I'd call "conventional flipping" aka something you see alot online My way of getting better is to dedicate myself to learning combos immediately after I've learned the basis (fans, rollovers, twirls). It will be hard at first, but it will allows you to understand what combos basically are, the flow you're going to need to string combos together, and will let you know the tricks commonly used in combos. The last thing I said is important cus that draws a clear path for you to follow, aka you know what trick you're going to learn next. After that, I would recommend learning from other people to develop your own style and to further improve. My style of flipping is heavily inspired by Banzo Complains, shrimp_flips and Will's tho Will's flipping do feels kinda basic but I've learned from him anyways. As for how long, fuck that, learn for as long as you want, who cares, as long as you get consistent, that's good enough. R
Great job with the vulp! It’s amazing to flip. But my only issue is tap. I tried to tighten it, it doesn’t get to the point where it had little to no tap. It just ended up having tap on only one side. Bit handle has the tap, safe has barely any. Curious if its just me?
Not just you. Unfortunately the vulp isn’t even made as well as the morse. I’ve taken my morse apart 50 times, replaced hardware but never had to tune the bushings. Zero tap zero play. But the vulp I cannot tune at all and when I take it apart I cannot get it back together. The tolerances aren’t even good enough for it to be this difficult honestly.
im gonna instantly buy the vulp once its back in stock, i just have a quick question where does the stock come in first if that makes any sense..? or well... where can i buy it first
I really enjoy my Vulp. Mine has developed pretty bad blade rub and tap, however. Disassembly, part swap, etc, have only made it worse. We'll see what happens. So far it's just annoying and causing some of the finish to rub off the blade.
@@WillHirschFlips Yeah, I've tried generic as well as things like blue lube on it. The only way to mitigate it it to overtighten, which as you mentioned, grooves the washers. I ordered some of the better washers that you posted, and that may resolve the issue. Blade rub on folders is usually a washer issue anyway.
See, the “special trick” that he does is really smart BUT, I would not be afraid of breaking the handle, but instead weakening the handle up where the pivots and the zens are bc I feel like if you keep bending something just like any material, it will get it weaker and closer to breaking. Yes the amount your bending it is so small it shouldn’t matter but for how long I feel like these are going to last, at some point that’s just how I feel it would do

Is there nowhere to get black ones?

Listening to will for 45 mins is so satisfying
Hi will. I got into a fight at school today and i watch your videos and i always get happy
Love the transparency about what to expect from the vulp.
Never tuned any knives took this apart and it sat apart for 2 days before I started watching tuning videos and got the VULP back together with less tap and play than when I got it!
Super-helpful video like always Will!
i don't even have a vulp but this was so helpful. im totally gonna use a lot of these techniques next time i tune my bali
i adore your keyboard
Everything aside that is a sick keyboard Will. How about making a casual video about that and mechanical keyboard sometime?
I just oreder the Vulp on Amazon and will get another one with no opener on Aliexpress. I'm starting this hobby at 63 lolll never too late or to old 😎
Oh my god thank you for this im literally struggling with reassembling the vulp rn

wow beautiful keyboard build!
insanely helpful! My Vulp is as good as out of the box now.
I got the red and black version, where can I find the pivots and screws for that model?
the washer made a smiley face here lol 10:01
Those key caps 🤌🤩
You should do one with the Glidr arctic
Should I be needing to replace screws as of august 2023? I can’t tell on Amazon if that has been changed.
I applied the thread locker that came with my nabalis Morse the day after I got it and it had no tap at first but now (a week or so after) it has a little bit of tap but I am sure that the screws did not move, I was wondering if it could be the bushings that compressed or if I tuned it completely wrong lol ( I tightened it a little bit more than the point where the screw doesn't move easily at all).

Did u wait a day for the loctite to dry
Thanks I got stuck here for hours
Nice babyyyyyy
i got the bushings mixed up is there a way to tell which is which or will i just have to assemble it and reassemble it if i get it wrong
Great tutorial! Will the next run of Vulps have loctite applied in the factory?
what is the best lupe for the vulp?

For the washers, rounded side should face bushing and flat side should face the handles, to my understanding
My vulp came with a small chip but still flips good and it did not come with locktite
When the production goes out on the green teal are you ever going to bring it back?
Do you know if the vulp will be available in India?
How’s progress on the blue vulp coming along?
It's in production!
@@WillHirschFlips that’s great too hear! :D
@@WillHirschFlips any plans for dark blue
I would be interested at what point in the process I should apply threadlocker/teflontape?
Hey will. Any news on additional hardware? Or what size screws are they so I can get them for myself??
I didnt get the t8 bit in my box 😕
Do you do this when you get it or when you use it a lot
I’ve been wanting to get one of those pivot needles but every time I check the site they’re sold out. 😢
They are in stock now!! Not sure how many are left but it’s been a couple hours.
@@jaysaintt6466 Managed to snag one. Thank you. :)

that's a keychron q5 right?
Yes! I love it
@@WillHirschFlips nice! heard keychron makes great stuff
What diameter are the washers? Are they 0.5 or 0.6

Very cool very swag

My vulp still has no tap because I don’t drop it and I’ve had it for a week and a half
do you know if any of the squid industry's hardware is compatible with the vulp?
sorry it's completely out of context, what are those keycaps you got on your keyboard? the orange ones
nice keyboard do it do the big thoccs
Medusa review?????
mine just came in the mail, as I was watching this
Im getting motion sickness from how much you move your head
so sad i missed the drop on Blade HQ??🦊😿
Damn I wish I knew this yesterday cuz I just stripped my screws lol😬
The gap in the handle is too narrow to insert the blade. I tried to force it in and the paint was scraped off.
I'll keep playing with Amazon balisong
thank you
Bro was tinking for a 1 minuta
Will wd40 work?
In order to *assemble* your Vulp, you must first *dissemble* tour Vulp

Hi bro
I pray every day before going to sleep that I don't have to do this.
👍
hi
Second!!!
Lmao I use metal chopsticks as a pivot needle
This is a great idea
At what point does he show you how to assemble? Just confused as to why it’s a 40min video when it could’ve been 10-20min ffs
i think i've already broken it...
Still waiting for them to start selling super lube

I recommend you just red loctight anything by nabalis
