Your a gentleman and a scholar and honestly I love your channel your hella funny and a great Role model for the kids to look up too I’m the knife/balisong community and hopefully down the road we can collab at some point cuz your my Fave balisong/music/bmx channel
I swear im never able to accurately predict you, after I flipped the Wing for a while I thought you were going to absolutely tear it apart for grip. Loved the video, loved the bits, and loved having you for the awards, even if you presented a... less than ideal category 😅
Dude you did the best video for your bali awards category. The amount of respect you laid down for these iconic balis. I both nominated, then voted for the BM42 when it made it in. Then I was horrified to find out that it got the least votes out of the entire bunch lmao I also feel like people directly affiliated with Squid pumped the numbers in some of these categories but what can ya do. Other bits of insanity: GP Blades not winning for customs, Lucha losing the one category that it's actually the king of(EDC), NRB's SLight not getting any representation despite being the best bali released in 2023(I will fight the shit out of all of you), Pall's ZZYZX snub/least votes, and our special bali boi DenDen not getting a mention for creator of the year. We need to squad up next year and get some much deserved votes in for Denny. Especially those of you who have a bitch for a mom and smell like shit. It's time for your voice to be heard. I actually ordered the same purple false edge Wing when they dropped, so I'm happy to hear it isn't complete ass, and looks just as good as it did in the promos. I'm just hoping the zen pins don't back out in a week like they did on both my Waves, and my Vulp Pro. The only nabalis knife I have where the zen pins stayed in is the original Vulp, but I can't stop buying more of their crap lol Had to pick up both the Vulp and the Pro to support The Orange Man and Clone Boy, and I can't stop buying false edge balis whenever one comes out. They got me man. But please Nabalis, if you're listening, work on the zen pin QC, or even better, shift to hidden zen pins entirely. Apologies for the size of this shitpost. Great vid, awesome and hilarious start to the new year of bali content. The hits that this man took to complete the line he came up with on the fly lmfao...2024 will be a good one
it's cool to know there's so many youngins in the community but yeah they need a bit of an education on older balis that ACTUALLY have a legacy haha, and i'm bummed to hear you've had such bad luck with the press fit zens, I too think it would be cool if they switched to hidden or even just standard zen pins, glad you enjoyed the vid my dude, thanks for watching!
LMAO at 15:29 - 15:31 great review, basically answered all the questions i had about this wing bali. hopefully they send you the morse v2 since you've reviewed the v1 already, ok p good from what i saw
Thank you, Sir. I love your content. there are only a handful of flippers I bother to watch, not cos theyre not good.. theyre better than I ever will be.. but not everyone knows how to make content thats actively engaging. so kudos to you. Im gona watch the rest of your vid now.... 🍿
This was a great review! I rewatched the specs, just for the laughs, those ways to describe your country🤣🤣🤣surprised that this is grip approved (apart from jimpings) by you! I have a feeling I'd be over-confident flipping this, and get stabbed like you, despite always reminding myself to use live blade discipline when using a trainer, but you were showing much more advanced tricks (always can't get over your parabolics, they're soooo good)!!! Strange, didn't hear you mention KPL in this vid, nor do a sound test before and after applying KPL, which is something I'm used to in your vids (or I may have missed something from previous vids). Hope everything goes well with you and these smashing vids you do!
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video dude! I'm no longer sponsored by KPL and everyone always told me I suck at sound tests so I no longer feel obligated to do them, the wing is VERY nutty tho! Thanks for watching and for all the support dude!
All I was thinking when you announced the kraken won was I was mad and I can’t imagine how mad you would be, the benchmade 42 I think deserved to win anyday, also the wing looks great if I had the money I would get it I think I would actually prefer if the false live blade came like yours cause then I could treat it a little like a live blade without completely getting cut, by the blade it self
I love solid channel handle designs!!! Unlike the vulp pro, the wing has no holes, no g10 scales, and no end screws which makes maintenance easy. I was so hesitant on picking up a vulp pro because it has so many little parts on a single handle.
Maybe it was actually a live blade. Because it probably cut you more than your actual live blades lol. Nabalis are just doing a good job, I pretty happy about that.
Looking to pick up a new balisong, should I get the Wing or The Orion from LDY? I don't have a preference for weight bias yet and care alot about colors and looks.
well of all the nabalis balisongs to date, i would probably be most interested in this, and thats a stretch. as far as inspo, its a similar design to the serif being melted down, just like the vulp pro design, its similar to the cygnus, but i could never be bothered w any nabalis products. 😮💨 also sick socks 🤙🤙
@@DenDenBMX Yeah, it definitely is more of a bowie. I thought this blade was the one that was originally more of a kukri profile, but was changed into the current version so maybe that's why I was thinking about it like that. Either way, thanks for making the review!
This is far better than the Wave, that being said I have yet to try her new balisong which is basically a wave with textured handles, that ones probably pretty good and grippy, but idk how it compares to the Wing, which is awesome
The lovely legacy category wasn't about how good a bali is, it was about the legacy that balisong left behind. And this community literally would not be here if it wasn't for the benchmade 42 and it's massive popularity during its time
hot take: I don't think Jimping actually dose anything PERIOD. the reasion the vulps jimping works is because it adds a taper to the handle and that taper is what adds grip, making the handle act as a wedge in your fingers.
jimping does work when it's done right, the only problem is most people still don't do it right. It needs to be deep and squared off enough so it actually hooks onto your finger. Without that yeah it doesn't do much
all jimping is not created equal. my mw slifT's jimping takes it easy in regards to my collection. aesthetically low key & blatantly functional. rockstar jimps....ü know, for those rockstar lads. if its done with relevant intention, jimping is functional af.
THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Denden is MY favorite youtuber and does the best job!
aw shucks, that's high praise my friend, thank you so much for the support!

thanks for watching my friend, I also think it would be interesting to compare the old morse to the new one

Finally a review on the wing! Now im torn between the vulp pro and the wing to go alongside my vulp and bbfirefly
difficult decision, but you can't go wrong either way, thanks for watching!
@DenDenBMX probly gonna end up with both at some point anyways 😂
as someone who has both I think the wing is slightly better but they're both great
the roasts to america are so good
All I was thinking when you announced the kraken won was I was mad and I can’t imagine how mad you would be, the benchmade 42 I think deserved to win anyday, also the wing looks great if I had the money I would get it I think I would actually prefer if the false live blade came like yours cause then I could treat it a little like a live blade without completely getting cut, by the blade it self
I had anticipated the squid shills were gonna ruin it, but I wasn't expecting it to be THAT egregious, I almost threw up. thanks for watching!
@@DenDenBMX lol keep up the good work
this guy makes my brain tickle, nice review
I'm glad you enjoyed the tickling, thanks for watching!
Fantastic video as always. Big fan
glad to hear you enjoy the content dude, thanks for watching and for the support!
I love solid channel handle designs!!! Unlike the vulp pro, the wing has no holes, no g10 scales, and no end screws which makes maintenance easy. I was so hesitant on picking up a vulp pro because it has so many little parts on a single handle.
that is true, I will say the vulp pro's build seems very solid tho, thanks for watching!
Great vid! If I hadn't just bought a vulp pro I would be very interested
haha either way I think nabalis is happy about that, thanks for watching!
Maybe it was actually a live blade. Because it probably cut you more than your actual live blades lol.
Nabalis are just doing a good job, I pretty happy about that.
LOL right, thanks for watching!
Now try the trainer blade version. Its better with blade bias tbh
if you had to pick the wing or the vulp pro what would it be?
HMMMMMMMM I think that depends on what day you ask me lol, like today i'd probably say the vulp pro, but on a different day I could say the Wing
Looking to pick up a new balisong, should I get the Wing or The Orion from LDY? I don't have a preference for weight bias yet and care alot about colors and looks.
I haven't tried an Orion, but I've heard great things about both
You sold me - I'm buying one!
aw hell yeah!
well of all the nabalis balisongs to date, i would probably be most interested in this, and thats a stretch.
as far as inspo, its a similar design to the serif being melted down, just like the vulp pro design, its similar to the cygnus, but i could never be bothered w any nabalis products. 😮💨
also sick socks 🤙🤙
i'd give em a chance, they just might surprise you, thanks for watching!
I'm surprised there was no mention of the kukri adjacent style blade
huh I never really looked at is as kukri-esque, when I see it I think more bowie
@@DenDenBMX Yeah, it definitely is more of a bowie. I thought this blade was the one that was originally more of a kukri profile, but was changed into the current version so maybe that's why I was thinking about it like that. Either way, thanks for making the review!
I left the light just for you
thank you I am VERY afraid of the dark
I had to skip a few parts due to time, I missed the part about grip. How's the grip?
gud
Can you swap blades with the wing and Vulp Pro?
I have no idea, perhaps not, I hear Will say nabalis doesn't really try to make their balis interchangeable
Hey broo, Squiddy B or Ownall Addax
oh god, can I pick neither?
This or ArtSea bali fight to the death? Vulp is 2 furry for me
This is far better than the Wave, that being said I have yet to try her new balisong which is basically a wave with textured handles, that ones probably pretty good and grippy, but idk how it compares to the Wing, which is awesome
I’ve got one, its better than the vulp and the vulp pro, it’s insane
that's some high praise, thanks for watching!
Does the tip of the blade show when the Bali is in closed position?
on mine it does
i got brain damage
it's okay so do I
man did not hold back on the US slander LMAO
someone's gotta say it, thanks for watching!
I got the trainer
This video was too good. Great review. Metric to imperial bit was too good
glad you enjoyed it my friend, thanks for watching!
Yo I have that same peavey amp! I hate it!
Haha how can you hate it it's one of the best modeling amps out there!
Bro, that shit on your lip’s got some shit on it’s lip. Killer vid, dude.
that is one of the strangest compliments I have ever heard, thank you!
Great review, very poke blade!
AINT THAT THE TROOF, thanks for watching!
That kinda looks like the serif
It kinda do be giving Serif

I can understand why the bench made 42 isn’t considered top notch tho. It’s not really amazing flipper compared to the modern stuff
The lovely legacy category wasn't about how good a bali is, it was about the legacy that balisong left behind. And this community literally would not be here if it wasn't for the benchmade 42 and it's massive popularity during its time
