Spyderco Forums

Mine arrived today :D thanks Spyderco, it is way cool & alot of fun - I do need some slower motion video of the moves though & maybe some written directions / drawings or something I have watched the video over a bunch of times but I can make it out to good to see what to practice.



I have never flipped a bali or butterfly so I have no experience to draw from.

At least you won't have to explain knife cuts until then.

There's quite a few balisong instructional videos / websites. I have never taken the time to really try to learn official tricks. Just don't give up (like you said). The rest will come eventually.

This just wrong...

When I was a kid, you had to worry about cutting yourself on a Bali. I mean, we would have to flip a Balisong, bare handed, while we walked 10 miles to school, up hill in 5 feet of snow in the middle of July. We cut ourselves often, and then would have to have our grandmothers stitch our hands up with needle and thread. Kids today... geez....

Looks fun, I need one or two...

your pics make me want one now, looks fun

is the only spot to buy these at the baliyo site ?

nice colors, George, happy flipping!

Wow your post made me order one 10 seconds after leaving this site!

It's okay...I was planning on it some time anyway...
:D

You showed your grandma? Did you blame the cat as well? LOL

No, but the knife sites don't have them (I don't think).

Has anyone else gotten theirs? Possibly post up some pics of a Baliyo in another color scheme?

got mine now, but it's just RWB like the others. fun stuff tho' gonna have to spend a little time with the dvd to get real good :)

I am waiting for mine.

I have a gray one coming.
I will try to get some pics if no one beats my too it.

UPS man just delivered my RWB BaliYo. I have to admit it's a lot lighter than I was expecting. Really fun to try and manipulate though, without worry of getting cut. :D

I got mine. Its taking some time to get used to how light it is compared to the spyderfly.

I've been flipping mine all evening. I can't stop. It is completely addictive. It is going to work with me tomorrow. Somehow the Fisher Space Pen refill has separated from the mothership and gone airborne a couple of times which keeps things interesting. :D I just keep pushing it back in. The poor BaliYo has hit the floor a number of times, but this thing looks like it can take a beating.

I'm still awaiting the samples for the Spyderco representative for the Asia Pacific/ Oceania region.... Sal ??? :p

Very nice photos George :D As has been said, at least this one won't leave you with nicks in your fingers !

Cmon guys, we gotta see photos of the other colour combos...no holding out on us now.

I got mine yesterday, but it's the same color as George's so no sense in posting pics.

For anyone interested - Torx sizes for the pivot screws are 8 and 9.

The authorized dealers are selling them as well but do not have in stock yet. probably not til the end of the month.

Congrats George, very sharp and crips pics too. Mine is the same variant as yours and I should have it tomorrow. I do have some bali-experience from my teens, but got rid of all of them over the years, so I can't wait to see if I still have some skills on the BaliYo.
