I can't wait for mine. I remember the ss balisongs we used to have back in the day, still got my Bradley Kimura in my collection and holy crap that thing is a tank in motion. This looks like it's actually good instead of just being durable.
The fact that it's 50$, flips well, good tolerances, AND it's steel so you can beat the shit out of it is insane. Back in the day 50$ got you a pos bear and sons 114. This is by far the best bang for your buck on a beginner inexpensive bali
Not to mention “live blade” or trainer options and if you want a live they have a way to avoid it being taken by customs incase you can’t have live blades in ur country using the wrench thingy and while it isn’t a live blade (false edge) you can still have a modder put an edge on it for 10-20 dollars which ain’t bad
A steel of a deal some might say
I think maxace Phantom is a close contender
@@loneliestshrimp1181 this is cheaper and will beat better than aluminum
Why false edge 😔
Nabalis is sending me a black acid wash trainer blade canyon to review and I'm so excited. It's my first balisong that I'm getting free to review and I can't wait!!!
ME TOO MAN!!!! WE GOT THE SAME VERSION!!
The taped on spanner is truly appreciated for me, wouldn't get it to the UK otherwise
Did you buy the false live in the UK? And it shipped fine? I don't know whether to get it or not because I'm a bit worried about laws.
I just bought my Canyon trainer and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.
PSA for all who buy the Canyon that this knife is shipped with no Lube or Loctite applied due to flight safely regulations. In time, I will also try to pick up the False Live blade once it's in stock just for collections sake.
Mine’s on the way. Super excited for it to arrive, and better still to finally see more than the two existing youtube reviews of it slowly make their way online
Bought both the acid washed False Live Blade, and trainer blade canyon. Can't wait to see how they flip. One will probably be given as a birthday gift for my cousin.
You sound like a cool cousin
Stainless Steel is more expensive than aluminum by volume but is stronger and offer more grip, only downside is the weight and Nabalis managed to it make it light! Exited to receive it!
the value of these things since the early 2010s when i got into balis are insane
We've come a long way
Wicked Sic unboxing!!! Excellent viewpoints 😀😀😀😀😀
Youre a pillar of the community man, I thought it was hilarious when I saw your comments on YT the other day, after months of seeing them on instagram. Never stop
Duude, you’re ladders got so much better. Nice! 👍🏽
Thanks 👍
Ordered mine in the acid wash black. Looks super sick. I just started the hobby only having the vulp in the blue color and I’m super exited to get mine. Also, I love your stuff man. You and will hearsh got me into the hobby! If anyone’s reading this and debating to get this or the vulp, I would say pick which one you want. In the end it won’t really matter it’s all preference.
I actually disagree. I’d heavily recommend the canyon over the vulp. The canyon is more neutral, and learning on a more neutral balisong will help your flipping be so much better. Also when you get into the 200-300+ dollar range most balisongs are neutral.
I just got one thank u for making a vid =) makes me happy to see steel balisongs are getting beater
i had no idea they shipped it as a 'wrench' until now. i was lowkey worried mine wasn't gonna arrive lol
Its a flipper for sure. Oiled with carbon honey it sounds amazing. I like thick carbon honey though.
I love it. Has a slight handle bias which is perfect for most flippers. Not everyone only likes blade bias balis. Most of the best flippers want a slight handle bias for momentum. Its a very small handle bias though. Most things like this will feel weird if your preference is blade bias.
I completely agree with what you think about with the “sale” mis-information, but its a marketing technique, like a legit one. They just dont do their marking material well to reflect it well.
Regardless of it being a "legit strategy", it's still annoying to me and I believe it's misleading to the end consumer. Especially from a company that we already know very little about.
man a full steel 50$ bushing bali that doesnt weigh like atropos products, i bought one cause thats just a price i cant escape
also that ring tempts me
I just ordered my Canyon, and I also reached out to Nabalis about the misleading price, I originally expressed concern because is seemed that they raised the price due to such quick sales, they assured me that it was just a false sale price, but it still feels unethical.
Unethical is putting it mildly I think
I can't wait to get one to I can reshape the blade and do some weight reduction in the handles
bought one, cant wait to flip it!
Have fun!
yes, i agree that the lightning is really good. you could make a good comparison of a mako and a lightning and i would say a mako v3 will lose to the lightning. both are slippery and on washers but i think that the lightning beats the mako v3 with the jimping and grip
This is super interesting! Might pick one up!
So my first Bali was a Bradley kimura 6, also steel handled, and it has this incredible ringing sound when I flip it! Absolutely music! I’ve since tried a number of balis and nothing has even come close, I wonder if you can comment on this one in terms of that musicality vs something like the kimura 6? Or if you have any other suggestions for a super “musical” ringing Bali?
13:38 hmm where have I heard that before? Super cool balisong really hope I can check it out someday!
I'm not understanding the reference, sorry
@@BladeBias No problem man. I say it at the end of all my videos. I knew you had seen at least one before but probably didn't stick around till the end. No biggie, cheers!
I feel like they could use heat shrink tubing to fix the wrench to the blade without residue.
Possibly?
Alot of companies do that false sale crap. Blade Hq does it on alot of knives. I know at one time a brick and mortar store could advertise something on sale only if the price went back up like 10% of the time per year. Probably no regulations for online sales, especially foreign companies.
Nice vid 😊
Thank you
Vaguely early...Hyped for the vid keep it up!
wow wow wow ohh wow wow ohhhh wowiee wow oh wowwww
Opposite day tsunami
nabalis is coming for the Best EDC category this year
Not sure I'd say a dull blade will qualify for edc but we'll see
@@BladeBias well, sharpened of course
Reminds me of the medusa
Are training blades cheaper. What neutral balance balisong would you recommend for somebody? That hasn't flipped in a while.
The Canyon is hella hype
I want to buy a cheap balisong but I don't know if I should buy the lightning or canyon
Canyon
I bought it 3 days ago and it'll be at least 2 weeks until it's here xD (POV: living in Europe)
I just bought one thinking it was sharp. I'm a little bummed it doesn't come with a live blade option.
Yall cut stuff other than yourselves with these?
Are we getting a week with the AL?
Yup
Im a relatively new flipper. Can someone explain to me what a “false live blade” is compared to a live blade? I would assume it’s a dull blade But I’m not entirely sure. And is it more recommended to just get a trainer over a false live blade? I already have a vulp and squiddy but I’d like to buy the canyon at some point as well.
It just looks sharp but cant cut you. I would stay away from practicing ariels with it if you are newer because tip is still similar to a live blade
A "False Live Blade" is simply an unsharpenned blade that is able to be sharpened, unlike a standard trainer blade that is hollowed out. It's essentially a way for manufacturers, specifically Nabalis, to emulate the look, feel, and balance of a live blade without the inherent dangers of cutting yourself. Be warned, the tip is still sharp, so you can still be stabbed if you're not careful. In terms of balance, a false live blade typically adds more weight and adjusts the balance of the trainer depending on the distribution. In the Canyon's case, the false live blade increases the weight to 4.46oz with a more neutral distribution. Whereas the trainer version is significantly more handle biased, but lighter at 4.33oz. If you're looking at this objectively, a false live blade balisong could be an incredibly cheap alternative to purchasing a live blade balisong if you know how to sharpen it. So you could in theory have the Canyon be a beater EDC.
However, the downside of a false live blade is the fact that since it looks so real, it'll definitely get you in trouble if you're caught with it. Balisongs are pretty illegal in most countries and certain states. So it's best not to travel or be seen with the faux live blade in public. It's essentially a trainer that you can not take anywhere lol.
@@Toast408 that makes a lot of sense, Thank you for the insight! Also sounds like something worth buying because i love the look of a blade but I’m not comfortable enough to flip live blades yet lol. I’ll keep the Ariel thing in mind too!
@@spyroclone152 Thank you so much for the response! Especially since I’m sure there was some fair amounts of time put into it. I don’t know too much about the actual feel difference of neutral, handle biased, and blade biased, but i do think that it sounds that it’s neutral. Ill probably due research for what the balisongs i already have are in terms of bias so i can have a feel and knowledge of whats what. And i think it’s a really nice touch that you can simply sharpen it and it’d be an actual blade. I don’t do much public flipping as of right now anyway, and i recently ordered an edit lite so if i do flip publicly ever id probably use that. Thank you so much again for all of the insight though!
@@mackbgoinham2819 My pleasure. Just be warned that this balisong is overall pretty heavy due to the fact that it's made of 420 Stainless Steel. It's comparable to the weight of the Squid Trainer V4, so your wrist will need the occasional break once in a while. It'll also feel sluggish at first, but for $40-$50, this value is straight up highway robbery.
Alrdy sold out🥲
The canyon trainer is currently sold out, it will be restocked right? Pretty eager to get one as my first balisong
That's a question for Nabalis
@@BladeBias Well just yesterday they sent an e-mail saying it'll be back in 1-2 weeks so yeah
would u recommend the canyon false edge or the trainer?
I like the trainer better
looks just like a jk design embassy handles w an orcaish blade
i like it for that reason embassy was gonna be my next bali I think imma grab this first.
how often are balisongs restocked?
balde bias
How would you say the balance compares to a kraken 2.5 trainer
Less handle bias
this or as kraken
What are the best cheap plastic balisongs?
Squiddy b
I've made a whole video on most of the plastic balisongs
2:40 Isn't that false marketing? Would not that make it illegal?
I don't believe so, no
i got the nabalis lightning. whats your opinion on it?
Never personally tried it
I have 2, got my first one a year and a half ago now. I personally love it for its price. Okay grip on the handles, fair balance, on washers. I HIGHLY recommend the Canyon over the lightning.
For style, bushings, weight and tolerances.
slayed🏔️
Having a “sale” price isn’t unethical. It’s just a sales gimmick. Just trying to increase demand by creating a “limited time” scenario for customers. This is Marketing 101, especially if its also combined with a new type of product.
But that product is not on sale, and it will never return to that price. Regardless of this being a standard tactic I'm still going to call it out because I find it to be annoying and misleading.
It's pretty unethical to trick people into thinking something is on sale when it's not
Yes it’s not unethical to trick people into buying your product at full price when they think they are getting a deal. What a horrible take lol.
most marketing strategy is tiptoeing the line of ethical/unethical. increasing demand by lying is still lying hahah
Waiting on my acid wash to show up.
what is your main channel?
Links in the description
Would you recommend it for beater
Dog it's 50$ and steel it's like the best beater imaginable
@@DLB916 hey thank you i thinked about it and you are absolutely right
Yes
is the vulp better than the canyon?
I don't think so
I personally gotta say a hard no. I have been flipping both for a couple of days. The Canyon is definitely heavier, but the momentum it carries flips circles around the vulp. This thing chaplins great, unlike the vulp. The grip is incredibly more sufficient thanks to the skeletonized handle construction with concave speed channel cutouts. Plus, the balisong comes standard with the extra hardware and goated Nabalis T10 pin needle bit inside the box, so you are not really missing too much outside the standard vulp.
will they restock?
Eventually I'm sure
dang its already sold out
Bro they are already sold out wanted to get one guess not
They'll inevitably be back
Hi
Hi
Early lol
wtf is that goofy box
Second
Gets free knife complains about tape lol
Ah yes, I could definitely be so trustworthy if I got down on my knees for any company that sent me something for free 👍
