That thing just sounds buttery smooth. That click clack is music to my ears

[Lunar]

The quickdraw, opening, icepick quickdraw, and latch drop was easy to learn. The icepick opening got me tripping

Nice! Been flipping and using balisongs for 35 years. Figured out the ice pick as a kid long before YouTube, and I do it differently. Pinch where thumb meets hand, let handle swing, move thumb, close hand.
Faster and easier IMO. But I'm going to learn your way just to have options.

Just bought a Krake Raken, time to check out more of your tutorials.

I love how well you explain everything!!! I'm about to get a balisong and wanted to know a few tricks before I even had the knife. I looked at a few videos and you're the first one I found that didn't go straight from basic opening to flipping around your hand multiple times.

Big fan of the silver/black two tone. Thanks for the comprehensive explanations.

Got my first trainer today and one thing that I noticed is all the transitions involve having to reverse/twist the handle to return to the closed position. Focusing on achieving this really made me understand the movement and flow of the trainer, and managed to learn 3 of the openings today (obviously after doing multiple failed reps for hours haha)

#squid please, continue more of these trick learning videos. You’re the leading balisong manufacturer, so the thousands that buy your product would love to learn the tricks. :)

My absolute favourite channel for butterfly knives

[NaughtiusMaximu]

i got a balisong because they're quick to open, and the well built ones are alot more sturdy than flip knives. bonus for using it kinda like a fidget toy. i take mine whenever i'm hiking or camping and it's been extremely useful from prepping meals, to eating, to general utility. used it for 3 years and it hasn't failed yet, unlike similarly priced flip knives

[SomeRandomDude]

#squid I've been flipping for around a month, so I've definitely seen these and repped them to a fairly comfortable point, but I cannot overstate how much I'd appreciate pov, slowmo, LEFTY demonstrations, exponentially so as the difficulty scales. Please keep these up, and thank you for saving me the mental reversing!

EDIT: By the way, the audio on this vid was a little muffled. It's perfectly understandable, but just thought I'd let you know.

[TailyonDaath]

I appreciate the more step by step method that you are showing. I have tried to watch some other tutorials on the basic tricks and even with them slowed down they are explaining on the twist or turns aspect of the tricks.

[poshdelux]

Finally a video I can comprehend... You're a good teacher

[froggerzot_Alt]

I'm only beginning now, but these are very useful in depth tutorials, and they are a great way to start flipping.

[antikiiwii]

so smooth I didn't even notice the bandaid guest appearence

[Frablous]

Thank you! Great tutorial. Picked up a bali for the first time and learned all 5 tricks in 1-2 hours. Fun :)

[Aether-vmmn]

I dont care what other people think about your knifes I absolutely love them

[clifcc]

I feel like a child but I'm slowly getting it. Thanks for the explanations for us uncoordinated folks

[JaxonGerard-stwv]

I just got three balisong trainers on Jul 17 and I've been looking for an easy and simple tricke

[czktvxk]

I love this video. I can do lots of intermediate tricks. And I never considered the quick draw. Lol. I love learning something simple I just never considered before! Thanks!!

[TailyonDaath]

Finally got the basic opening working consistently. Left handed not too good yet, but the right hand I can open and close consistently. Now to just get the ice pick technique to work.
