I think the trick is a full twirl
THANK YOU
@@WillHirschFlips I'm a beginner and that's like one of the only tricks I know. I've never felt that feeling before. I knew something balisong-related that Will Hirsch didn't???
@@awgeezslick8802 🤣
I learned that move as the basic ladder.
@@DerReubus yeah me and most other people I’ve met have felt the twirl is easier
I think I big tip for people as well, is to really think about where a trick starts and ends. That’s how you make your own combos and how you can practice new variations of the same trick again. Great vid as always!
That's great advice!
Honestly sounds like a fun way to learn too. Hoping I'm getting a balisong for Christmas 🙏
I flip over a bed and don't drop it very often. Today was my first day of taking a balisong in public and let me tell you walking and flipping is WAY harder than stationary flipping.
You’ll get used to it. I don’t feel like walking and flipping is harder than just flipping for me because I’ve done it a lot
I find walking easier than standing still. It helps me not hyper focus on the knife and relax into more of a flow. If I focus too hard on every trick I fumble.
@@DefOfDopeProductionshow good are you now
@@yomomma3251 I ended up selling my Krake a couple months ago just to focus on other things. I got 'decent.' To a normal person I looked amazing, to a balisong flipper i looked average.' I def wanna get back into it soon though.
@@DefOfDopeProductionshow is it going?
Hey Will! Will you be able to take a picture of your entire collection and show it on instagram? It can be on story, I am very curious about it! (i'm sure its changed a lot)
If that's harder than it sounds that's no problem! I wish you a very very nice day!
Great idea!
@@wtfimcrying he could take multiple photos
Hey Will, just wondering if you’re thinking about making a “Ranking Every Butterfly Knife 2021” video. Would love to see how you rank the tons of new knives!!
Injury topic. Discouragement after injury fear of flipping going forward.. etc. 🙏
I've been flipping for about 2 years and I can say the best way to learn tricks is by breaking down the tricks into small parts and mastering them before attempting the full trick and then mastering that. What's important is consistency, constant drilling of the trick, and learning the trick right. If you teach yourself the trick wrong it could hurt you in the future if you attempt it on a live blade. Remember practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
I like to yoyo and do a few other hobbies and I constantly tell people "it's just practice bro". But I like what you said, practice practice practice!
@@thugnasty1021 thanks
Will, I don't know why but while watching this video I improved on all of the tricks you talked about. I would love to see a video similar to this but talking about different tricks watching you do them and explain them really helped me learn how to do them!
at 14:03 when you dropped it I had a mini heart attack even though I know the blade is already scuffed on this knife
It hurt my soul
I've been flipping for 1 year now. It was pretty hard to learn roll overs and I'm learning behind the 8ball currently
I've been flipping for a year as well, I'm kinda booty for a year tho lol 😆
That krake raken is fucking gorgeous mine is plain aluminum i love the knife but would of preferred a different color
Tbh the all silver is so damn gorgeous, imo.
@@Sin10el it is, and its got some red now because i just cut myself again
It's literally just a full twirl lol
I’m new to flipping and find doing loops REALLY satisfying so I’ve just been practicing this over and over lol 4:20 - 4:30
Do you have some tips how to Chaplin to other tricks
can u pls make a vid to show how not to get videos taken down
Idk, I haven't ever had a problem with it haha.
My main advice is to avoid and copyright content in your video like music and stuff
@@WillHirschFlips my videos get taken down for child safety and i have 2 strikes rn
@@WillHirschFlips I would have no talking and have your account above 18
Thank you for this. I need to focus on the stuff I know, I have a bad habit of jumping into every tutorial I see
Thank you for your comment!
This has nothing to do with balisongs but I know you're a audiophile and I was just wondering, what program do you use to listen to music because i know spotify is pretty bad when i comes to music programs.
Spotify is alright if you set all the stuff manually to the highest settings, it's what I use for daily listening
Bro I just ordered a trainer and it’s coming tomorrow and I love this dudes channel and videos. Is he gay? It’s just a question either way I’m still gonna watch him I just want to know
I kick my trainers all the time when I drop them. I call it the “kick-flip” because I’m so original.
I do this with my beater
Bro guys having their nails painted that’s just wrong🤮
I would love a video about all your balisongs and a few words about them
I really love you fan its interesting to see you flip the safe handle first with like a push I may actually change to do that fan instead
If only I could do this with my scissors :(
Crazy flips mate
How do you film POV?
Thanks
Nails are still so cleannnn
(I've commented on your nails like six times now lol)
"Hand turn thing"
You still doing that hand thing?
yes finally
nice flips bro
The trick is the twirl ladder my favorite trick
That's basically how I was learning how to flip
Is it Inevitable that eventually you will get cut when flipping? I had a trainer for about 6 months and then just got a live blade 2 weeks ago. I've still not gotten cut.
Absolutely, and I’m actually a little surprised you haven’t yet. Still, it’s scary at first but becomes a part of the process after a bit. 😁
@@jahiapw Thanks!
Yes, you will. And usually not even on something super difficult, most of my cuts are failed twirls or wrist passes, since you don’t really focus all that much. But you just need a bandaid, no big deal.
I had my live kraken for a week when I was flipping while in my computer chair. I dropped it and went to get my hand out of the way and I smacked the knife and my hand into my chairs arm rest. 4 stitches. Point is, don’t flip over things, make sure you have ample space.
It'll happen but usually it's not bad
I was thinking of learning balisong flipping like karate dojos do with karate.
A certain set of moves is put in a certain order is called a Kata so something like your basic rollover combo would be kata 1, then you add more to it to make it kata 2 and so on.
So for example if you wanted to learn the choker fan or become better at the choker, your choker fan totorial is kata 1, doing a fan first before the choker is kata 2, rollover then choker would be kata 3, etc.
I think it would be a good method but I'm not sure
yes yes consistency through steps is a great idea
I just got the new mako v4 what balisong are you using?
It’s a krake raken from squid industries (probably v2.5 but who knows)
0:07 what is that trick!? I must know!
Thanks for this it seems I’m stuck in limbo doing the same combo I made a new trick tho that’s really it.
Edit update: the little fan thing you do I just did an aerial of it I can believe I just did that
@Peter Bregnbæk lassen behind the 8 ball,index,whip rollover, Ariel into ice pick
How often do you practice with your off- hand? While I'm practicing I always feel like I'm neglecting my non-dominant side. How important do you think it is to learn with both hands early on for a beginner? I'm diggin this new channel you got. Thanks for the content.
Not often enough, I need to do what Addison True did and do only off hand flipping for a while
@@WillHirschFlips your next RUclips Channel can be called Will Hirsch Flips Lefty.
Ayyyyy
SHOUTOUT PEBBLES
It feels like a threat when he catches the knife at 1:46 and says "right."
noice
Hey Will I was just wondering if in the future when you have time you could make a tutorial on the behind the 8 ball aerial you usually do or just give me a tip on how to land that aerial? I’m really interested in that specific trick and it’s the throwing and the landing of that aerial that I’m having difficulty with. Anyways happy holidays!!
You are correct. I love green and pebbles.
I'm flipping my atropos kirat watching this and I've determined I would rather get cut than get pinched.
Dude for real pinched sucks
@@WillHirschFlips ive gotten a pinch so bad that it bled non stop for around an hour its way worse than any cut haha
HESS MEAT MARKET

Fundamentals are so key. As an advanced flipper, I still think it's really important to practice simple flips. Helps me warm up the harder stuff.
As an advanced flipper do you think the plastic squidy practice balisongs are helpful or harmful due to how light they are compared to regular knives?
@@blusheep2 low key harmful. Squiddy b is a decent thing to actually train with but at that point just get the vulp. It’s fire
@@GormLore the vulp? Haven't heard of it. Ill look for it. I'm looking for a bit budget at the moment. I bought an amazon 30 dollar trainer but it looks to much like a real knife and I'm a pilot that wants to be able to get through security so I can practice on the road. I just don't want to waste my money.
I was flipping while watching this, dropped my knife on my phone and the screen turned black at the exact same time because of an ad my heart stopped
I always turn my phone upside down when I'm flipping near it so I can't do that
I'm trying to do the zen rollover and make it roll around my index finger and repeat but I have butterfingers lol
My squid trainer has tap. How can i fix it? Is a bit of tap normal?
With that yes, you need to tune it and then loctite it. Basically tighten it until it won't move and then loosen it bit by bit until it swings easily
I just ordered the purple, Halloween mako v4 😎. So excited!
I hope the markings don’t wear. The tritons I’ve seen with less than a year of use made me think any Halloween edition needs to be a safe Queen
That drop intentionally on the concrete was painful to watch💀
Thanks for the y2k index ♾ combo
It's just the trick I needed 🦋🔪❤
im worried to drop my balisong. I use clone Nautilus V2. Dont want to loosen it and create a tap cuz its pretty costly to me. I have another cheap one but the handle is rectangular so its pretty hard to spin in. The other option i have is a life blade so the clone Nautilus is my only option for training
I just started flipping. But I need to remember I can’t learn every trick right now. Hard not to want to learn everything
Noice
Question, do I have to learn how to flip with my left hand too? I think I'll learn somethings but I'll mainly flip with my right hand because it's so weird flipping with my left, and I'm a beginner too and I can't really do that much right now, but I see that you're mainly flipping with your right hand too so I wanted to ask.
I need to work on that myself a bit
@@WillHirschFlips Sounds good, I'll try to too.
what jacket where you wearing in this video, looks comfy
Just order a mako v4 few days ago so this will be my 2nd squid product I don’t want it to be a beater shark my favorite sea creature
You should do a video going over just the tricks you do in these shorts, cause honestly I'd rather one trick those than learn like a million different tricks on youtube and use a random 5 i can remember 💀
the whole time in trying to decide whether I think you're actually talking real time or if you carefully recorded audio afterwards matching words to your movement
Heyo, I got 2 things, 1, could we please see a more in-depth tutorial to the underhand ladder? I know you touched on it but something for formal would be cool. Also, the intentional drop of the Kraken on concrete just for demonstration purposes was such a painful thing to watch, hope it’s ok :)
Hi Will I have a question that I haven't really seen explored. I was interested in balisong flipping as an artform for a really long time. The reason I didn't get into it sooner was that the default is to use a live blade, and if you don't there is an assumed diminishing of the skills you are showing. Having done other types of prop manipulation (think juggling pistol flourishing etc) one of the main tenets is to remove as much danger as possible especially when performing for a crowd. At its core flipping a live blade is still essentially manipulating a weapon with the ability to cause severe bodily harm. How do you feel about this from an ethical level and can you express your feelings on live blade gatekeeping/superiority complex? Is there something you appreciate significantly more about flipping live blades that make it worth the risks?
Not really! Both live blades and trainers are great. For me, carrying a live blade is mostly for the utility of having one to use and also being able to flip and enjoy it.
Also yes I did do juggling stuff before!
I’m not Will, but for me, it’s about the thrill. It’s not really more dangerous at all, you might need a bandaid, but it’s just more fun IMO. But I love flipping my Squiddy as well and not really caring about anything and doing dumb stuff I would do with a live blade. If you’re having fun, you’re succeeding basically.
@@pepavasata6790 I totally agree with you! The adrenaline rush from flipping a live blade makes you feel alive. I dont flip my live blade that often so it's probably a bigger effect for me
Something I noticed is your not whipping it. Is that a key to good/clean flipping?
Maybe when you put the video about fanning, you could add in a little section about hand strength or how to build strength with your fingers? I'm a new flipper and I'm having a hell of a time trying to fan and I feel the strain on my muscles, espcially around the thumb, after trying to get the balisong to spin or trying to keep the balisong in a grip that isn't using my thumb. Not sure if it's a 'you will just build it up over time' thing or because it's not so constantly used, you have to go out of your way to build strength in parts of your hand.
Love the tips and glad to know I was mostly going in the right direction.
Great knife, great flips, great video!
Oughta call that Zen to Index rollover the Zendex.
14:01 😰
Have you made a palm spin tutorial?
If you have not, will you?
Not me catching my live blades with my work boot to soften the concrete blow LOL
"dont try to catch falling knifes"
*catches flyghing and spinning knife*
How many weird looks do you get when filming and flipping in public
Honestly the way I got the best was using a live blade the fear factor helps makes u not mess up
yes yes all very helpful and all but where you get that jacket man looks comfy af
I personally feel very uncomfortabel flipping in public cause i'm afraid of karens and people looking not to mention dropping my bali, do you have any tips?
Why does the trainer blade Krakky sound way better than the live blade?
When Will was talking about getting live blades in the future, I started to move my feet out of the way because I wanted to get a live blade in the future. 2 weeks later, while flipping, I suddenly realised that live-blade balisongs are illegal in the UK, that made me sad. I really enjoy the videos, looking forward to see where both channels go in the future :)
Having grown up with guns and knives, I can't imagine as a law abiding citizen not having them. Some of our liberal States would like us to be like the UK. No thanks, I'll continue to live in safe States where you can protect yourself. When seconds count the police are minutes away.
Hey Will. Honestly I have to say you explained like a pro dude. It’s really really clear. Thank you so much 😊
You and your family are on a walk and you see a guy talking to himself and flipping a knife
What’s the name of the video for the tutorial of zen to finger roll
Not entirely sure, but I think that trick is called the kiss goodbye
Hey will. Thanks for detailing your flow. I was curious about the tricks you did. Especially that rollover with the throw and ice pick catch.
I'm sure someone has said it. But the trick you couldn't remember the name of was the full twirl. I was just practicing it last night
What camera gear do you use for vlogging?
Hey, can you make a playlist on your channel for all your tutorials?
why did you drop in on the bricks when the woodchips are right there oh my lawd
When you dropped the knife i felt a piece of my soul leave my body
what is that transfer fan thing called? looks so sick.
I have been doing better on dropping but I still dot flip over hard surfaces
Why u painted your nails it looks ok but aniways
I love all your videos dude - you’re awesomely hilarious & immensely informative.. Thanks!!
Will doing aerial: gravity What is this ??
I was about to ask for a continuous roll over but you showed one in the video so that's sick, it reminds me of the infinity, the only pen trick I can do
Until now, i only dropped my knife tree times
God i just want 1 of my combos to be as smooth as urs…..
Great video! I’m glad somebody finally put it into terms most begginner and intermediate flippers can understand. Keep up the great work
I’ve watched this video at least 5 times in the past month lol. Your flipping with the Kraken is satisfying to watch, and listen to.
the trick is either a full twirl or a chadder
If his ladder counts as “not confident” then I haven’t even started the balisong hobby 😂 lol
Underhand half-murnax.
Normal ladder starts with pinky and ring
14:30
or they are illegal in your province
Just recently got a bit better at my back fans. Been loving the adjusted choker fan to back fan.
Can any one tell me what the first trick he does is
Just twist the knife then throw it no biggie
What is the first trick that he did when he spined it with his other hand
