So this is how you flip a Bali

[Bradsknives]

I received this message from one of my customers along with the video........Holy Crap!

"Hey Brad, you sold your Benchmade 42 to me a couple of weeks ago in Indy and I figured that you might want to see the first competition that I used it in. This is just a qualification round for an upcoming tournament on JerzeeDevil."

Holy Crap! is right.

I'm not a big knife guy, but that is amazing. Craziest thing I've ever seen...

Omg!!!!!!! That's it...all I can say.

 

[Dtrap]

Insane!!!! That is bad a%#.

 

[X piller X]

Those are some skills! Wish i could learn to do things like that, but all I've managed is the basics.

 

[grunt soldier]

I can do a lot of the basics and some more advanced stuff with it but I keep all mine dull as hell lol. I would have lost a finger already.

very impressive! music sucks but his skills are amazing.

 

[Limpy88]

That is awesome!!!

I think the music works for the video, some classic rock would'nt have the same impact as a very fast beat, hard bass song does. Death metal would be silly for the video, drum and bass techno would work probably.

That is some amazing blade work!

I will NOT show this to my daughter..I will NOT show this to my daughter..OK, I might show it to her. She has been after me to buy her a Bali for about a year. (She just turned 15, think she's ready?)

Start her with a trainer......less investment in band aids and fewer trips to the hospital.

That is an awesome display of persistence. Remember: You don't have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great. ~Zig Ziglar

Is there any real world value to that skill? I mean, yeah, its cool, at a party but will it help him do anything important. Opening the knife quickly is the important part. You can close it with both hands after you need it at your leisure.
Its weird what some folks think is important.

Is there any world value in many of the things that people enjoy?...........sports, firearm shooting events, hobbies, etc. I don't necessarily think that it is "important", but I do find entertainment value in watching, and I'm sure the people that are into Balisongs as a hobby, whether collecting or competing in competitions will tell you it's just as important as your hobby or passion that may not have any "world value"

I have no more straight 42 models that I'm willing to let go at this time. I do have a 42A (anodized) and a 43A (Bowie blade/anodized) that I'm thinking about parting with.

 

[indyjohn]

NOT showing that video to my kids..

 

[Stschil]

My thoughts exactly!

I had the same doubt about utility.

I think this activity is more art than martial skill. I am not saying that in criticism, but to help Caveman understand that it is not a failure of practicality, rather a demonstration of aesthetics.

 

[esrice]

Holy crap!

Actually like a lot of asian hinged and chained weapons the art of opening and closing the weapon are a part of its intend use. The flashy opening and closing are ment to be a distraction. To draw the opponents attention away and create an opening for a strike.

I used to have a Bali and I was pretty decent with it at one time. nothing like that though. That's wild

Parted with mine a couple years ago to rent a tux for my friend's wedding. Been somewhat looking at replacing it, whenever I can find one for close to original price that is
