i'd start with a CCC tbh, its a specific hobby that takes a lot of cash to get into. I think you should buy a CCC and see if you like the knife, if you don't, then oh well, they're about 15 dollars on aliexpress
started with a stock 51, then i got v6 flyti scales on it and later a zenith blade with bushings. After that i got a 67. hated it. got v2 flyti scales for it, hated it, went latchless on it and suddenly loved it to death. AFTER that i got a 42 and OMG is it amazing. Then i got a rep and it blows the other 3 away and is cheaper than all 3 of em.
New to the balisong scene but your videos are GOLD man. Very informative without losing the chill factor. I could watch your videos while drinking a beer which is what I'm doing right now 😅😆
what if i am broke and i have no money.... I cant buy shit from bladehq, knifecenter etc because taxes... i really dont want to buy a clone but i guess its like only thing i can buy
If you can only afford a clone go for it. Just make sure it's a half decent one that will last while you save up for a genuine one. For a decent clone use eurobalisong.com
balisongs are illegal where i live so i cant get any good balisongs, all i can get is like some ccc knife from some small store when im in some other country
Man, I bought a CCC from Amazon, I then bought a 51, 87, Mako, then a Bas Elite, then I started looking at new makers within the first few months... bug got me good and I hope I could keep these knives forever...
Transition song : Lykke Li - Little Bit (Autoerotique Bootleg Remix) And also I started with a CSGO butterfly knife, then moved on CCC live blade knives because I'm stupid and finally got a Squidtrainer. If I could afford a Replicant and if I could walk in the street without risking prison if I get arrested with a live blade balisong in my bag oh boy I would already be flipping that Replicant !
Started flipping with a Böker Magnum Balisong Trainer like a month ago. Screws got lose incredibly fast, now I finally got some loctite. Got big hopes up to get my hands on a squidtrainer at the next drop. I live in germany, otherwise I´ld be already owning a barebones or a rep, but I´ll have to wait to flip with a live blade till I spent some time somewhere balisongs aren´t illegal.
Started with a ccc bali i got in Tennessee 3 years ago, still have it. Actually im flipping it rn atm, i really want a benchmade model 42 but can never find anyone that wants to sell
I think I am going to buy a b400 g10 just because I've had my share of modding my cheap ccc's into "decent" flippers. I'm thinking locktite/ new bf washers/my specialty press fit Tang pins/cord latch/ I just want your input as in if I did all the things above would it still be a bad flipper?
I started out with a CCC. I now have a BM 67 and I absolutely love it. I am however saving up for another knife to flip with. Hopefully I can get something cheaper than the BM that I can flip and just really have fun with.
I started on ccc junk then 4x clones and rep clone now I'm after the real thing reps my jam so far I modded mine as I make knives too anyways I messaged u about seeing if we can hook up and you help me get a real rep. If be really grateful if u can help
i started with a $20 bali from hampton and i only bought it because it was a "butterfly knife". Needless to say it broke 2 months later from me vigorously standard opening it for all my friends. My next knife was a bear and son, at $50 i thought this was what a good bali would be priced at, over double my original. must last atleast 10x as long.... nope. broke 3 months later, but i learn rollovers with it and it got me hooked. then i bought a benchmade because it was super expensice, felt great, and had warranty. Long story long, i still have it, bought a 42 springer after, then an 87, then a CF Rep, and now I own a KB Rep and freaking love it. Also i can do a couple more tricks.
Personally not sure what knife i want, i currently own an alpha beast infinity but imo its so blade heavy that I would consider it unflippable, if i had to mention some knives that catch my eye those would be the basilisk-R the tempest and that bc palatheous mid-tech has my eye, would cop any of those three but the palatheous is the one im really driven to find.
great vlog man! but really the bm51 is the way to go if your new to flipping, or your just unsure about your new hobble. the BM51 has great material, cost is not too high, different weights can be had with ti-scales and alternate scales are popping up left and right. the brs rep is over priced imo (maybe around $50 to high..) but really its a great one to cop. My vote is the BM-51 for a first time buyer hands down!
Started with a 5 dollar amazon trainer, broke week after because some girl dropped it. Then bought a csgo balisong, still lasts to this day. Bought a 20 dollar channel construction Bali off eBay, then upgraded to a squid trainer. Asked Lucas for a blemished model, sent one over no problem, and also bought a new 2.5. Never go back.
Grails is just a fancy way of saying custom balisong. Not all custom balisongs are worth the money or offer any real benefit over production balisongs in terms of performance. However, they are collectible if taken care of. Personally, the $400-$600 range is the sweet spot. Your Alpha Beasts, Titanium Basilisks, Tach 2/3s, etc. Anything above those is just because you like the aesthetic/collecting. Even so, a Rep is all you really need to flip.
started with a ccc trainer (paid 2 much). moved to a bm 51 then got FlyTi scales. Finally ended up with a Rep. I want a premium rep or an alpha beast a limited alpha beast would be sick.
I started on a ccc and then a 51 and then a 62t then a squid trainer 3.5 then a rep then a barebones then a chab clone then a krake raken which I ordered today, I sold the 51 62 and bb but the Chab clone is insane and it’s 110
Don't buy a Replicant or an Alpha Beast. Go with any Squid Industries trainer. They are a lot cheaper and amazing quality, and you can get their cheapest metal flipper for $75.
I started with the boker plus and was relay good with it due to buying it when it first was available and dropped it a shit ton due to it being a good beater then
I have wanted a BRS alpha beast for a long time I’m like an immediate flipper and just used trainers never bought one over 20 bucks in the highest I will ever spend on a balisong is probably 100 bucks until I get a job and can save up for alpha beast
Why do you have few subs? I am Spanish and I see your videos, the English community does not support much youtubers. in the spanish community only have one or two channels of balisongs
Don’t get a barebones or a 51 and it’s so hard to get a hold of one that’s it’s almost not possible not possible to buy a rep or ab I would more just get a triton or something from squid industry
8:47 - You're welcome 😀
15:55 - Moral of the vid
And then there's Squid Industries, which just changed the game by putting out quality trainers at a good price and that are restocked often.
Samuel Davis yea they get restocked like every Monday but they cheap as but amazing quality
Every Sunday actually
Wednesday
Your all wrong squid industry’s restocks every week
@I have no idea for a name *you’re
Actually the best vlogger, talks about balisongs and is a good vlogger!
i'd start with a CCC tbh, its a specific hobby that takes a lot of cash to get into. I think you should buy a CCC and see if you like the knife, if you don't, then oh well, they're about 15 dollars on aliexpress
Generic And Unfunny I started with a ccc cus I wanted to try and now I’m gonna get into more expensive ones
@Oliver Engholm dint care
Dont
Bought a "CCC" just to see if i could get into the hobby, fell in love with it, "CCC" broke on me and i cant afford this hobby fukingkillmepls.
ELECTRICWORLD 05 yeah mate got one on the way.
They're absurdly loud m8 its fucking insane
squid trainer, boker plus, shankle trainer, maxace dmg
faded robin they made the BBarfly V2 which is way quiter
Buy another ccc or bbbarfly then save up
started with a stock 51, then i got v6 flyti scales on it and later a zenith blade with bushings. After that i got a 67. hated it. got v2 flyti scales for it, hated it, went latchless on it and suddenly loved it to death. AFTER that i got a 42 and OMG is it amazing. Then i got a rep and it blows the other 3 away and is cheaper than all 3 of em.
My grail would be a bowie tach 2. Fucking gorgeous knife
Meech hell yeah
i can barely afford a bear and son
is rep really that great？im using nautilus now
Oh and how do you feel about the atrophos demon// have you flipped one?
started with a ccc got a better ccc now have a shanklesong which is incredible!
New to the balisong scene but your videos are GOLD man. Very informative without losing the chill factor. I could watch your videos while drinking a beer which is what I'm doing right now 😅😆
what if i am broke and i have no money.... I cant buy shit from bladehq, knifecenter etc because taxes... i really dont want to buy a clone but i guess its like only thing i can buy
Virus don’t buy a clone
Save up and don’t waste your money
But squid industries
If you can only afford a clone go for it. Just make sure it's a half decent one that will last while you save up for a genuine one. For a decent clone use eurobalisong.com
Try Megaknife
Ok virus if u really are broke af get a ccc and see if u like flipping first
Hey bro I was wondering how you feel about the dog bite 3.1. I've heard that it's actually better than a rep and costs less
started with an mtech twist clone, right now im sitting on a rep and an infinity and imm looking for a standard ab or hom
Aaron Wang hom is dropping a batch of rhapsody trainers on 9-28-17
balisongs are illegal where i live so i cant get any good balisongs, all i can get is like some ccc knife from some small store when im in some other country
It’s simple. VPN
The best thing to do cus they illegal in my country to u should get a trainer
Sam Kartheiser theyre not illegal to buy there, just to carry
Caleb Wortham vpn doesnt solve the issue of getting them through customs which is the main problem
LeTHaL_Energy_YT if u want a live blade ir best bet is probably to buy a high end clone from like eurobalisong
what tricks do you suggest me to learn first, ez cool tricks, tips, etc?
Man, I bought a CCC from Amazon, I then bought a 51, 87, Mako, then a Bas Elite, then I started looking at new makers within the first few months... bug got me good and I hope I could keep these knives forever...
Only grail left I want is a Ryworx bali with good japanese steel, the Kono or the Moth and I'd be set
My bm87 is my beater EDC

Have you flipped any Heibel Knives? Curious how they flip especially for the money and being a custom kinda thing.
There are good balis under 100. Barfly, Rep Clone, Titanium Tach 3 Clone, Shankles, Squid, Boker Plus g10 trainer
i think he meant live blades
Started with a ccc bali i got in Tennessee 3 years ago, still have it. Actually im flipping it rn atm, i really want a benchmade model 42 but can never find anyone that wants to sell
me: Siri, define BELLIGERENT
I started nearly a year ago with a Barebones Trainer and purchased a squiddy two weeks ago,
just to try something else and see the difference.
I've heard pretty good things about the squidtrainers, I might get one
Who are the best people to watch for balisong flipping?
I have a feeling this channel is going to grow big
eh...
Balisong channels will never get big.
@@CraftyyFruit they'll never get really big as in 500k+ but big flips is somewhat big
He would if he ever fucking uploaded
Balisong Boi so I’m not the only one rewatching his vids. Would be nice if he uploaded more
Started with Squid Triton. I want to get an alpha beast. I don’t know my opinion on any grails until I flip them.
How does the ab flip compared to the rep? Im lookimg REAL hard at a chab
I think I am going to buy a b400 g10 just because I've had my share of modding my cheap ccc's into "decent" flippers. I'm thinking locktite/ new bf washers/my specialty press fit Tang pins/cord latch/ I just want your input as in if I did all the things above would it still be a bad flipper?
yeah, I have modded CCCs before as well, in my experience it isn't worth the effort as it will still be subpar.
I started out with a CCC. I now have a BM 67 and I absolutely love it. I am however saving up for another knife to flip with. Hopefully I can get something cheaper than the BM that I can flip and just really have fun with.
Started with barebones but I modded the hell out of it...think it's like 4.90 oz now...stock BB is meh but I do prefer my modded BB to my AB Infinity
Can you review a eurobalisong and see how it compares to the pricey ones please?
I started on ccc junk then 4x clones and rep clone now I'm after the real thing reps my jam so far I modded mine as I make knives too anyways I messaged u about seeing if we can hook up and you help me get a real rep. If be really grateful if u can help
I prefer the 10 dollar amazon CCC
ok then
Man have tried a high quality knife the thing are glass smooth
I started with a Bear and Son, bought a more expensive Bear and Son, regretted it, and now im saving up for a Maxace Scorpius.
what do you think about squad trainers and the 1.5v and the 2?0v
i started with a $20 bali from hampton and i only bought it because it was a "butterfly knife". Needless to say it broke 2 months later from me vigorously standard opening it for all my friends.

This channel needs more subs. Great editing and good vlogs.
Good youtuber who speaks about balisong 👍👍
Personally not sure what knife i want, i currently own an alpha beast infinity but imo its so blade heavy that I would consider it unflippable, if i had to mention some knives that catch my eye those would be the basilisk-R the tempest and that bc palatheous mid-tech has my eye, would cop any of those three but the palatheous is the one im really driven to find.
I have had a vear and sons for about 3 years and I want to get a benchmade 51 if anyone has one for sale please let me know
Started with a bm30 when I was 6. Been hooked ever since.
Get a Maxace Banshee. It’s $150 and you can get it off AliExpress. Just make sure to loctite
Great video and makes a lot of good points!
Elb knives?
Started with ccc's then flyti 62, then I got a 42 2 years ago and haven't felt the urge to buy any more since
great vlog man! but really the bm51 is the way to go if your new to flipping, or your just unsure about your new hobble. the BM51 has great material, cost is not too high, different weights can be had with ti-scales and alternate scales are popping up left and right. the brs rep is over priced imo (maybe around $50 to high..) but really its a great one to cop. My vote is the BM-51 for a first time buyer hands down!

so... you live in cali but own live blades? how´d do it
Grails is just a fancy way of saying custom balisong. Not all custom balisongs are worth the money or offer any real benefit over production balisongs in terms of performance.

to a kid with barely any money, a grail can even be a barebones, its a relative term. I agree with you though.
Was squid industries a thing at the time
Where can I buy a used replicant of a used 51? My budget is around $300 and I don’t want to buy a new one since the only available replicant is 340.
started with a ccc trainer (paid 2 much). moved to a bm 51 then got FlyTi scales. Finally ended up with a Rep. I want a premium rep or an alpha beast a limited alpha beast would be sick.
My first balisong was a 51 and it was stolen from me😭, I'm looking for a new one but I don't know wether I should go rep or AB
Started with a BM51, have an ELB now.
copped an elb mamba clone and i love it! after some mods and tuning it flipped just like a rep.
What was the last knife?
I started on a ccc and then a 51 and then a 62t then a squid trainer 3.5 then a rep then a barebones then a chab clone then a krake raken which I ordered today, I sold the 51 62 and bb but the Chab clone is insane and it’s 110
Boker g10 the sharp version
I started with a flip finz (lol) I am getting a squiddy soon... And I really want a rep or an ab
I am your sub number 1000!!!!!congrats!!!!!!!
What about an Exiled Cutlery Cyclone? They're only $64.
Exiled cutlery knives are $5 CCC knives imported from China, then they just put their own markings on them, and sell them for 10x what they're worth.
Started with a fake bm42 trainer. Moved to a flyti bm51, then AB, then barebones (hate this one), then custom carbon rep :)
What's the best trainer?
Could you do a review on the Hom prodigy?
Don't buy a Replicant or an Alpha Beast. Go with any Squid Industries trainer. They are a lot cheaper and amazing quality, and you can get their cheapest metal flipper for $75.
Great video bro. New subscriber.. I'm with you love my knives and to hell with what it costs. A decent product costs money.. and knives make us happy
I started with the boker plus and was relay good with it due to buying it when it first was available and dropped it a shit ton due to it being a good beater then

I got my start on a barenones and my grails are tach 2 Tanto and a 87
I think I heard radio mirror park play in your car😂😂😂😂😂👌👌👌👌
Omfg... a person who unboxs balisongs and knows how to flip them
Why do you have few subs? I am Spanish and I see your videos, the English community does not support much youtubers. in the spanish community only have one or two channels of balisongs
Started with a ccc, got a cf replicant, and I’m on my way to a basilisk
Don’t get a barebones or a 51 and it’s so hard to get a hold of one that’s it’s almost not possible not possible to buy a rep or ab I would more just get a triton or something from squid industry
