The finger pinch or the back nuckle tap get me. I use a pretty heavy trainer because it was cheap and tapping your knuckle with it on a double roll out hurts like hell. But hey, if I can manage with it then a lighter blade will be easier.
I passed the test and can now do the trick and am very willing to learn more like the double helix. But now I'm scared of tricks like literally throwing my balisong in the damn air
50 Blades of Grey Ok, btw thanks for the videos, even tho I've been flipping for a couple months I've learned from you probably the coolest tricks I can do
50 Blades of Grey i can nail it like every 10 tries, but im working on getting it every time ( btw its cool to see you interacting with fans, i just wish you would post a bit more....if you could...)
Tristan Byrn If I can do videos more often I will try for sure, it's hard for me though. I work full time and each of these videos can take 5-7 hours to make between filming and editing. New video every 2 weeks is the current goal.
I feel stupid for not thinking about just taping the blade edge. You just saved me $50 on a Zenith trainer, now I can probably afford to try FlyTanium scales!
He is so detailed on how to do the trick this is honestly one of the best butterfly knife videos I've ever seen I'm excited to see what kind of videos you have an future I was wondering if you could do a butterfly knife trick, completion where we submit videos and you choose the best ones to be in a RUclips video of butterfly knife tricks love your videos I am subscribed
oh ok :D I because of you i learned the behind the 8 ball really fast :D And now i got it like 7/10 times.... I also learned the helix but i am not really good at it xD i can do it but often i fail....
Zen rollover was the first trick i learned. Helix being the second I just went pro on balisong when i finally got it. I actually learned the zen rollover in 1 day
what kind of butter knife do you have? I want one I want to know where to get it :3 oh so i sub and like all of your videos thanks for da training sensei!
Electro the knife should be able to do it unless the handles are extremely stiff. It took many attempts for me to learn how to get it roll around my thumb. Aside from the advice in the video the only other thing I can say is try, try again
50 Blades of Grey well at least I learned to tape the blade so far, I think it's my hand and wrist that is stiff. A little KY jelly will loosen up my grip...
Kawaii Nightcore glad they could help, I've gotten comments from a few lefties and am strongly thinking about putting a collection of my tutorials together and flipping the video so lefties can learn more easily
Milica Oljaca it's a good first to know for sure, I think the zen wins for me just because so many advanced moves rely on you begin able to confidently grab the bite handle while the blade is coming towards your fingers
Question about taping the blade. I am learning tricks like hellish and a bunch of rollover combos, and I want to tape the blade so I don't cut myself so much. Which tape should I use that will stay on the blade, but will leave little to no residue?
Charles Fields perhaps I am incorrect, I use the trick known as the Y3K as a reason to support the idea of the Y2K starting on the bite handle and landing on safe handle. Both the zen rollover and Y2K are thumb rollovers I just use the zen rollover and Y2K as ways to describe what handle the knife will land on
Quick question, what knife is that? Could you link to my an amazon link to that knife? And if there is a trainer version could you link me the amazon link please?
Hey 50 shades, I am learning this trick, with a live blade. But I am starting on the bite handle. I am just having trouble with my balisong. It has the metal rods that go through at the hilt. Could you just tell me a few good balisong knives I should buy on the web? And where I might find them as well please. I've been searching but it's hard to tell what's actually good by their terrible descriptions. Thanks bro. Nice videos. You've been helping a lot! Along with Bite handle. Thanks for the knowledge.
Ogoshdam Plays hello, for a balisong I think your best bet, regardless of price is something that weighs 4-6oz, is 9-10" long, and that's about it The one I used in this video is the BRS Replicant for example but a more affordable Balisong with similar stats would be a decent option too. My first was a $30 bear and son 114 for example, nothing spectacular but it worked
another thing you can do if you don't want to tape the blade is to just start on the bite handle so if it gets too close you wont get cut but you will still feel it to know that you messed up.
I think there is a difference between a y2k and meet the spy all be it very subtle a y2k starts on the outside of your hand doesn't it and the "meet the spy starting grip is more on the inside of your hand with the rolling going over the back of your thumb. the tricks are essentially the same but they start from different positions.
Dr Epic I suppose you could make that distinction but I'm not sure how worthwhile it is to go to that level of detail. Some people don't think it's even worth making a distinction between the Y2K and Zen rollover
GamingMastr467 I think the general consensus is that you can do tricks on a curved balisong but depending on the trick it may be more difficult than on straight handled balisong
tx man,,,great tutorial..i;ve got cut and bleed....kinda of traumatic...lol.....thx for that putting tape on....i used trainer...but definitely i'll use tape to get my confidence back..
The problems I'm having are: 1) I can't find any articles that explain the physics of the balisong in-depth. I'd like to know why what's going on in my hand is happening the way it is, so I can manipulate it with better understanding. 2) There are no mentions anywhere about balance. I noticed yours had a clip on one of the handles and I'd assume even that amount of weight would through you off. I want to know which brands are properly weighted/balanced that makes it the most effective. I would also love to know if the pins becoming looser over time will affect the knifes operation.
Yoshikage EHKOS, first, a balisong is manipulated with your fingers, so your fingers should be strong depending on the weight of the balisong. Also, the only physics on a balisong is the momentum you use to do rollovers. Also, the clip on the bite handle won't affect the weight at all. The clip on that specific knife is made of titanium, so the weight on each handle would differ by a few grams. The best brands i would buy balisongs from would be HOM Design, Blade Runners System, and Benchmade. Hope you find the right knife.
Also, the knife he is using is top notch quality. It is one of the best butterfly knives you can buy. The pocket clip is also removable of the weight puts you off.
I started with a trainer so it was much easier learning these, and yes I do flip a balisong with a live blade, so I'd suggest getting a trainer to start out with, not a 300$ knife meant for experianced users lol
Knife Lover I agree that trainers can be good buuuuuut I also think tape can be a good substitute. Plus you get the added bonus of getting used to the knife you will be using for live tricks. Just depends on what is most comfortable for the individual 😄
Yes I can see that, I was actually looking into getting a B&S Balisong plain satin, I personally like a trainer because I can flip in public without crazy looks, well, a few here and there heh
Jáchym Šulman late on the reply here 😅 but it really depends on personal budget, for example I learned on a $30 bear and son 114 before buying more expensive balisongs months later
Jáchym Šulman I will just add that that one isn’t perfect. It will get the job down but it’s nothing crazy impressive quality wise and the handles can crack if they are dropped over hard surfaces like hard work or concrete repeatedly. Alternatively the bbarfly is actually pretty durable and is around the same price. Unfortunately, it is a trainer, albeit a neat bottle opener trainer
50 Blades of Grey Oh, okay. I haven't quite got to the combo part yet. I don't really know enough tricks, and the tricks I do know I haven't mastered well enough to combo them
I'm not scared of being cut by the blade, i'm scared of the handles pinching my damn finger.
abasthemighty that is almost as bad honestly 😂
Lol
Not really
If you get pinched it will bleed on the inside but it won’t come out and it would hurt for like five minutes if you touch it
The finger pinch or the back nuckle tap get me. I use a pretty heavy trainer because it was cheap and tapping your knuckle with it on a double roll out hurts like hell. But hey, if I can manage with it then a lighter blade will be easier.
These are by far the best flipping tutorials I've seen, I'm honestly excited for more!
Where were these when I started flipping 😝I just hope my personal progress hasn't too far outpaced these tutorials
Noah Seal thank you for the kind words man 👊🏻 I'll try to keep it up for sure
Noah Seal but I'll have some goodies later on 😉
Yeah not too in to detail and not a lot less detail
that tape idea is genius!!!!!!! thank you!
I'm glad you make a reference to Meet the Spy video :D Spy is my favorite class in TF2 and the reason I'm interested in these tricks
Dennis Fueru I didn't know about the spy character until after I started flipping balisongs but I do enjoy the animated videos they make
I passed the test and can now do the trick and am very willing to learn more like the double helix. But now I'm scared of tricks like literally throwing my balisong in the damn air
and can you do a double helix tutorial too?
Get Schwifty I would like to get to that trick in the future for sure! Not sure if I have a timeline for it yet
50 Blades of Grey Ok, btw thanks for the videos, even tho I've been flipping for a couple months I've learned from you probably the coolest tricks I can do
Get Schwifty glad to hear man 👊🏻 hope you can learn more as well 😊
Yung Swoozy I'm not really scarred about throwing my knife in the air. I can do the icepick arial easily
bro you helped me learn the "Behind The 8 Ball" in less than 45min thank you SO MUCH
Tristan Byrn glad I could 😄 one of my favorite tricks even today
50 Blades of Grey i can nail it like every 10 tries, but im working on getting it every time ( btw its cool to see you interacting with fans, i just wish you would post a bit more....if you could...)
Tristan Byrn If I can do videos more often I will try for sure, it's hard for me though. I work full time and each of these videos can take 5-7 hours to make between filming and editing.
New video every 2 weeks is the current goal.
50 Blades of Grey sweet man im just fairly new to the realm of balisong*ing* and ur videos seem to help me the most
Tristan Byrn I'm glad they help😄 thank you!
Huge fan of your channel so far. Can't wait to learn more
Djayk thank you, hope to come out with more every 2 weeks 😄
I've watched some videos explaining the butterfly tricks, and this is by far the best one
Henrique Reis thank you very much man! I'm glad you liked it 👊🏻😄
Your tutorials are pretty informative I've learned all three of these trick from you. Now I'm not afraid to try other tricks
danny _r27 thank you 👊🏻 as long as you keep a level head and not go balls to the wall with crazy tricks you be good
Nice job my friend! I never would have thought of typing the blade 😊
please keep going with the tutorials :D i like the way you teach them, keep it up !!!
kneeco thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them 😄
Thanks for the info Grey now i have more confidence while flipping balisongs!
I feel stupid for not thinking about just taping the blade edge. You just saved me $50 on a Zenith trainer, now I can probably afford to try FlyTanium scales!
Figgy Newton 😅 I mean it's not the end all be all option. Some people can only use trainers due to their local knife laws.
But good to hear!
Lmao i got a trainer for 15 bunch on ali express, it's not a bad knife and looks good, but the blade handle still hurts(but doesn't cut)
Great video! My trainer is on the way. Looking forward to it!
these videos are really helping me out, keep up the great work dude!
SP00KY Same
SP00KY thank you 👊🏻 I'll try 😁
I like your point about, loosing the fear to get cut.
I also think it's one of the most important things to learn early on.
Russen Zock thank you! I really do think that once someone can get over that initial fear than most tricks become doable
He is so detailed on how to do the trick this is honestly one of the best butterfly knife videos I've ever seen I'm excited to see what kind of videos you have an future I was wondering if you could do a butterfly knife trick, completion where we submit videos and you choose the best ones to be in a RUclips video of butterfly knife tricks love your videos I am subscribed
flawlessrhyme very later responding to this comment but that could be a nice idea if enough people participated
thx man now i can finally do it
keep these vids up dude
Mr. Snufflepuff awesome to hear! I will try my best to!
excellent video! great tips. keep em coming.
Reverend Skulls thank you 👊🏻 😄
What a great tutorial video!!
Your videos are relaxing me idk why 😂
DexterGames NL 😂 I'm not sure, but I'm okay with it
You make the best Tutorials on yt :D But i can already do the Y2K and the ZenRollover :) Can you do a chaplin tutorial in the next video?
Skryptex I will hopefully get to that one in the near future 😊 next one is full twirl but after that I'm open to ideas
oh ok :D I because of you i learned the behind the 8 ball really fast :D And now i got it like 7/10 times.... I also learned the helix but i am not really good at it xD i can do it but often i fail....
Skryptex awesome man! But yeah you'll fail a bit at first but the more you do it, the better you will get 😄
OMG THNX dude i learned it because of you i got it on film in slomo it looks really cool thnx
Zen rollover was the first trick i learned. Helix being the second
I just went pro on balisong when i finally got it.
I actually learned the zen rollover in 1 day
Tolimpia awesome tricks to learn early on 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks with everything man, nice and simple
bRiAnStudios glad you liked it 👍🏻
what kind of butter knife do you have?
I want one
I want to know where to get it :3
oh so i sub and like all of your videos thanks for da training sensei!
Napsterblook thank you, glad you like my videos!
This knife is a BRS Premium alt Replicant. I got mine from bladehq.com when it was in stock.
You can find a butter knife in your local kitchen drawers.
He has the ones that you butter your bread with, he’s not holding it in his hands though.
Mr.Machees it’s a joke
chlorine-l I should have made a joke
Thanks for the tape idea, i would never think about it lol
IT'S Y2J!!
YES 2 JERICHO!!
YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!!
I'm trying this with a taped up bear and son. I can't get the handle to roll completely over my thumb. Am I too stiff or is that knife too unbalanced?
Electro the knife should be able to do it unless the handles are extremely stiff.
It took many attempts for me to learn how to get it roll around my thumb. Aside from the advice in the video the only other thing I can say is try, try again
50 Blades of Grey well at least I learned to tape the blade so far, I think it's my hand and wrist that is stiff. A little KY jelly will loosen up my grip...
Electro that works too 😂
Thanks for helping. i will get my first balisong next week thx
great to see someone usin' the latch
Im left handed byt your videos still helped me out alot thanks :D
Kawaii Nightcore glad they could help, I've gotten comments from a few lefties and am strongly thinking about putting a collection of my tutorials together and flipping the video so lefties can learn more easily
i fell the same way about the zen rollover,but i think the basic flip open/close is the most important trick to learn as a begginer
Milica Oljaca it's a good first to know for sure, I think the zen wins for me just because so many advanced moves rely on you begin able to confidently grab the bite handle while the blade is coming towards your fingers
This is actually the first trick I learned too
NateDchamp a very good one to learn first!
Same
I love ur vids I kept getting cut but I watched ur videos until I got it right thx so much😊
Smokeweedeverday Baller thank you! I hope it was helpful 😄
you should upload more on rollover flips. those are my favorite kind
SloppyTheSheep perhaps index rollovers 🤔
Awsome vids. Subbed :-)
Eddie King thank you! Glad for you to join me 😊
How do I get the knife ,,better'' over my thumb? Sometimes the knife goes too far and it falls downor my thumb is getting stuck between the handles
Question about taping the blade. I am learning tricks like hellish and a bunch of rollover combos, and I want to tape the blade so I don't cut myself so much. Which tape should I use that will stay on the blade, but will leave little to no residue?
I've always done the zen rollover by the bite handle. And the y2k is a zen rollover but it's vertical instead of horizonal.
Charles Fields perhaps I am incorrect, I use the trick known as the Y3K as a reason to support the idea of the Y2K starting on the bite handle and landing on safe handle.
Both the zen rollover and Y2K are thumb rollovers I just use the zen rollover and Y2K as ways to describe what handle the knife will land on
thanks a lot for these great tips.. will someone please tell me what kind of balisong that is? I really like that one.. beginner here
I'm from Chile and I did like your videos, keep it up crack :)
DarKNo0B FC hello from the US 😊 and thank you! I'll try
This was the first thing I learn excluding the open and close
Quick question, what knife is that? Could you link to my an amazon link to that knife? And if there is a trainer version could you link me the amazon link please?
Patrick Swiderski the knife is the BRS alt premium replicant. I purchased it through bladehq.com, I've not yet seen one on amazon
oh ok, thanks for the help!
btw great video
Patrick Swiderski thank you!!

Oh and my balisong is just a cheap one from a China Bazaar by the way haha nothing fancy
I do have one video on my channel of me playing around with the few tricks I learned my first day
Ogoshdam Plays hello, for a balisong I think your best bet, regardless of price is something that weighs 4-6oz, is 9-10" long, and that's about it

Sweet man I appreciate the information. =) Much thanks.
I love it. I learned it in a day and I can do it every time. Thanks to you I'm more confident about using a real blade
Kipknock10 awesome man! Glad it went well for you 👊🏻👍🏻
You start with the bite hand or then switch over to the safe handle not the other way around
another thing you can do if you don't want to tape the blade is to just start on the bite handle so if it gets too close you wont get cut but you will still feel it to know that you messed up.
I think there is a difference between a y2k and meet the spy all be it very subtle a y2k starts on the outside of your hand doesn't it and the "meet the spy starting grip is more on the inside of your hand with the rolling going over the back of your thumb. the tricks are essentially the same but they start from different positions.

Your blade is beautiful, who makes it and is there a place I can purchase one?
thechexican101 thank you! Knife is BRS alt premium replicant. I bought it from bladehq.com
Where can I buy a butterfly knife like you have?
+50 Blades of Grey can I preform the same trick with a curved balisong? If so will it be harder or easier to preform tricks?
GamingMastr467 I think the general consensus is that you can do tricks on a curved balisong but depending on the trick it may be more difficult than on straight handled balisong
Ok thanks
Hey how long does it take you 2 master the knife I am new I just want to know and tips for newbie I cut my hand 20 times already...
tx man,,,great tutorial..i;ve got cut and bleed....kinda of traumatic...lol.....thx for that putting tape on....i used trainer...but definitely i'll use tape to get my confidence back..

Is it possible to start the Zen Rollover on the Bite-Handle?
i love your thumbnail
nice video can you make a totariel about the helix ?
DieKillerwurst hopefully in the near future, no current ETA 😄
OWESOME TRICK MAN
Wow cool, I learned this trick from you
I started with a trainer so it was much easier learning these, and yes I do flip a balisong with a live blade, so I'd suggest getting a trainer to start out with, not a 300$ knife meant for experianced users lol

Yes I can see that, I was actually looking into getting a B&S Balisong plain satin, I personally like a trainer because I can flip in public without crazy looks, well, a few here and there heh
I learned the zen rollover by doing the y2k with the exact same motion once i mastered it the zen rollover was no problem
awesome tutorial.
wsmaga thank you 👊🏻😄
In one of your next videos can you show us the helix?
acidrain 3000 I do plan on doing it, don't have a current ETA yet though!
Sick tricks Bruh +1 sub
CrazySonic glad for you to join me 👊🏻😄
that killing momentum thing you use not to get cut feels like what we do with nunchuks to stop them from smashing our backs xd :O
Fireant G cool comparison! And yeah I would figure, those things probably pack a serious wallop if you're not careful
just got yourself a new sub. :)
Sqij glad for you to join me 👊🏻
which knife model is this ? where did you buy it ?
I have a Trainer knife so that counts right
lets not shed as long as you're having fun 👍🏻
Where did you get the knife
Where did you buy this knife ?
Ive just gotten into butterfly knives, could you give me any advice?
i Ginger depends on what you're trying to do/ learn 😄
where can i buy his butterfly?
awesome tricks but what knife is that?
Where did you get your knife? What's the name?
Deni Stoimenov BRS alt premium replicant. I bought it from bladehq.com
What is that knife brand?
you can do wristpass at the end of zen rollover
KryptoniteGame indeed, you basically have to so the knife slows down enough not to cut you
1:28 wooaah wat did you do did it spin??
what knife should I buy as a beginner who mastered horizontal opening and double rollout and learned a few variations of basic twirl?
Jáchym Šulman late on the reply here 😅 but it really depends on personal budget, for example I learned on a $30 bear and son 114 before buying more expensive balisongs months later
@@50bladesofgrey43 that's around my budget I had one knife around this budget but after a week of active flipping it's screws were loosened badly
Jáchym Šulman I will just add that that one isn’t perfect. It will get the job down but it’s nothing crazy impressive quality wise and the handles can crack if they are dropped over hard surfaces like hard work or concrete repeatedly.
Alternatively the bbarfly is actually pretty durable and is around the same price. Unfortunately, it is a trainer, albeit a neat bottle opener trainer
In the beggining you grab the knife by the safe handle
How did you didnt cut your hand
plz tell me what knife you are using :( im looking for one of these for like 1 year :(
Its the BRS replicant
iiSnikzz z BRS premium alt. Replicant from Bladehq.com
"Or meet the spy trick." Lol😂
The meet the spy is a horizontal y2k
Or a bite handled zen rollover into a basic open
I missed the tutorial part but I did see the comparisons to other tricks and how they are different.
Yuppi the tutorial is kind of mixed in but glad you could see that difference 😊
I love this trick
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT YOUR BUTTERFLY KNIFE
MrCrazy88 what Gnome said 😄
what knife is that? i have scoured your channel and discription but cant find it anywhere and i must say its a damn sexy knife
great video my dude, but for some reason you are hard to hear on my tablet. what are you you using for a mic?
Pow3rh0use not sure, I'm using the iPhone 7 😅 on the phone/computer audio it's too too bad, could be better though
This was the first trick I've learned after my 2 simple openings.
Where'd u get the balisong you have?
Zachisahunter I purchased this one from bladehq.com
I'm new to balisongs, and I'm just wondering what is the point of doing a zen rollover, when a Y2K looks the same and is safer?
Connor Hare you're right about the safety part. You would do a zen rollover depending on the type of combo you were doing.
50 Blades of Grey Oh, okay. I haven't quite got to the combo part yet. I don't really know enough tricks, and the tricks I do know I haven't mastered well enough to combo them
Does anyone know how to do a thumb chaplin
1:28 "Give it a little push"
You know how i got my fear over getting cut
I didnt,i use a balicomb
FoxPeal YT 😂 loophole confirmed
hey fifth Wich balinsong u are using and where can I buy this ???
Where can I get a good starter balisong?
Logan K depends on what your budget is and what you consider to be good honestly. But for sites to look at I recommend bladehq.com or Knifecenter.com
what knife is that, is there any way i can get a trainer version because i live in Canada
01 Balisong This balisong is the premium alt replicant. You can ship real balisongs to canada if you ship the blade and handles separately.
Nathan Nguyen i was wondering where can I order the handles separately
01 Balisong you can ask them to
can you send me the link of where you bought the knife from. How much was it?
Itz_VirusYT hello, it can be found on bladehq.com or knifecenter.com when in stock, this one, the Premium alt. Replicant, cost me $315
Thanks. Man thats expensive
Just found your channel. I hope you are still making videos. I'm a high beginner. Lol Well I'm not that high lol
Anyway. Great job.
Hello can you link where you bought your knife ? :D
Skundli bladehq.com is where I bought it from 😊
Can I get a link to your knife ?? or where can I find it and how much does it cost??
Dusty hello, I bought this knife from bladehq.com when in stock.
Name is, BRS alt premium replicant. Price is $315.00
