top 5 balisong manipulators.

I dont think I could narrow it down to just 5, but I will try. I'm not going to give it in any specific order but here are my favorites.

Slashncut is one of my favorite flippers to watch because of his always innovaqtive style, he probably has more tricks in his bag than any other flipper, and he flips two balis better than anyone else IMO.

Blasto, his style is just fucking cool, one of his was one of the first balisong videos I watched.

Knifezoid, because he makes some of the best tutorials around, and for all his zero gravity moves work.

Looseyfur, because of all of the aeriel moves he innovated that most flippers, cant do one in ten times.

Bitehandle aka VincentDark, IMHO he has the BEST balisong tutorials around, and a very fluid style of flipping




(Great thread, I hope one day my name will be listed in someones top 5)

My top five favourites are (in no order)

1-Looseyfur (not only has this guy furthered the art, he continues to support and help it grow, straight talking giving respect and shit where its due)

2-Knifezoid (editing skills, technique advancement and above all one of the coolest guys around full stop)

3-Slash (technical excellance - nuff said)

4-Greg (this guy brings style to the table in a way that makes everything look cool)

5-Droopdog (so underated and such a talented flipper)

[Silent Jay]

I'd deffinatly have to go with my top 5 (not in any specific order) being:


Loosyfur - Created some of the sickest arials that I still don't have the balls to attempt

Slash - The shit he does is just crazy, and he just keeps coming up with more

Greg - It's rough to find someone who's flipping is damn near as smooth as his, it's just beautiful to watch

Knifezoid - Is a great flipper, is coming out with some sick innovations for moves, and has created my favorite move (The Blender)

Blasto - Wasn't around back in the day, but watching some of his videos and the flipping he does just looks amazing

Good post !!!


I thought about this awhile ---- before I replied { now THATS rare }.

I really don't feel I have enough knowledge to say.

BUT , my hat is off to ALL The Young Lions who have been mentioned in the replies so far. And that also goes out to all of the Not So Young Lions.

EVERY SINGLE ONE has pushed the limits of "flipping" untill there are NO LIMITS !!!

I am HUMBLED and AWED by the things I see --- and I am PROUD -- PROUD OF THEM ALL for showing the "knifeworld snobs" that Balisongs are not just for street trash hoodrats --- but can be a thing of great skill and beauty.

Of course -- ME , being a "street trash hoodrat" who would belive anything that I say :bwah:

[white_star_32]

well... in no order:

Matnotah - love his smooth style, and Bali WK!!!
Slash - always mind blowing...so fast...
Greg - Again, so smooth and fluid - I always enjoy his videos
Blasto - his were the first videos i watched on youtube :devilzeek
knifezoid - I love his variety of chaplins, rolls, and creative moves (leg catches and the 'WTF')
