too many resellers in the hobby, especially those (wont name anyone) who buy knives in bulk/ for really cheap from people who want to give fair pricing and upcharge them to make money. i feel like they arent really in the hobby for flipping/community, but just for making a quick buck which takes opportunities of buying a nice knife for under retail away from someone who genuinely wants to own and flip something i dislike resellers on any platform
I feel like there is so much drama in the bali community right now, that it plays a big part of making the community not as enjoyable to be in, and because of that a lot of people are going further and further from the community, because they are just tired of the constant negativity and drama. About this videos topic, i think that people only making reviews, unboxings and stuff like that really do make the community worse. There should be more of just flipping, talking about experiences with the community, overall flipping and even just some chats about life. Thats a great reason why you are my favourite bali content creator, your original, your videos give comfort and its not all about buying things, more like enjoying the things we have, and flipping them.
Yeah I’ve been trying to shift my focus on modding my existing balis over buying new ones. It’s tough, I have that compulsion to buy new stuff. I honestly wasn’t aware of all the drama until recently
I have definitely been trying to step away from the addiction of consuming balisong media especially regarding reviews. I'm reading Capitalist Realism by Mark Fischer rn and its insane. It's only 80 pages highly recommend. Have barely read any of it tho bc im too fixated on watching the next balisong review lol
you could just buy like one decent balisong and be happy w it for basically the rest of your life if you were focused on enjoying the process of flipping instead of just constant consumption but i also understand wanting to test a few different styles + weights out. I'm still in my testing what I like phase but the hobby is really expensive honestly and most people on youtube /reddit make it seem normal to have massive collections but tbh i think most of the people that id want to connect w in the balisong community arnt actually in the community bc they are busy enjoying hot chip + flipping they knife
Year, we all are all in this stupid thing, I want this new balli, Hype shit and it is a part of the fun in this Hobby. But a lot don’t talk about, most of the new shiny thing go in the collection and often forget that it exists 😂 A lot of tuber reviewers sell there shit after the video and going on the next train. Quality problems that comes with more youse of a Bali or more insights off the Bali never touched in the review. I turned my fomo down an revisiting my older balis i don’t often flip and I nearly forgot. 2 get better choose your fav Bali and rip with it. I often forget this. Good video!
yea i agree but for youtube i genuently prefer reviews like the ones you make and i used to watch will hirch more but for insta you see some crazy flipping and its actually new tricks ive never seen a lot. insta has more high level flippers

Ty :)
That is the most beautiful tattoo I ever seen
lol thank you. It was a Pictionary game during lockdown on a Group FaceTime thing. The word was “mole”
You should try doing live streams, I think it could help you connect with your fanbase
I’ve been thinking about it. I wish you could stream with your chosen camera settings instead of using the RUclips camera
@@pez_flipsDang maybe you could try going live on your insta I think that lets you control your stuff better
the tsunami is like the perfect balisong tho..
