(Part 2) Best products from r/balisong

Pick up some Whink Rust Stain Remover from a local store or Amazon. Dunk the blade in it for about 5-10 seconds then rinse it off and you're good. It gets pretty humid here, especially in summer, and Whink does a great job getting rid of the annoying rust spots I get on my knives. Just make sure not to touch the stuff with your skin as it has toxic acid in it.

If you are worried about it, you can buy medical grade cyanoacrylate (for veterinarians) on Amazon, but I just use regular ol' super glue and an accelerator (although accelerator's not really necessary unless you're using thicker CA like a gel).

Popular brands are Nano Oil 10wt,Militec-1,Benchmade Blue lube,Hoppe's No. 9,KPL Knife Pivot Lube,3-in-1 oil,and Tuff Glide dry lubricantjust to name a few in no particular order. I personally like Nano-oil the best but have been hearing really good things about KPL.

Cheap and easy is the Lansky system from Amazon. $32 and you can repair (reset a bevel) and simply sharpen a blade easily. You can get the 3 stone one for $25 but 2 extra grits for $7 extra is worth it. Just follow the short instructions and you'll be good to go.

Looks like a vintage ekco wine opener, those things are hard to find. Nice score!

If you're shooting for a new trainer, this is as good as they come. Chrome!

Tried a balisong can opener, was pretty crap. 0/10 would flip again. Stick with the fancy chrome trainer I linked you to.

I'm pretty sure this is the one I have. with the height of the camera added it should get you pretty close to 6ft I think.

I'm completely new to this, and I would love your opinions on what trainer I should start with. I'm looking at these three:

1. Butterfly Knife Trainer Practice Comb No Offensive Blade Black,by Moon Boat
   
   
2. Bear & Son Cutlery 114TR Vein Butterfly Trainer Knife, 5", Silver
   
   
3. Icetek Sports 44477 Metal Practice Balisong Butterfly Knife Trainer, Blue
   
   Or if you know of a better one to get, I'd love to hear it.

The Original Super Glue Cyanoacrylate Gel, 0.12 Oz each, 2 tubes https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I4CWHD4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_K7mZAbGSC1XWK does this one work fine?

I got my hands on some of this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BNEXA6I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and a collection of different resins. Some application vinyl (in some tries, i used masking tape to some degree of success)
Its actually a very simple project, BUT...its very tedious

long story short, these photo's are the results of.....10 attempts?

ran into MANY issues on the way, but im very happy how they turned out.

These cases fit balis perfectly, they make a 4 slot and 8 slot. https://www.amazon.com/Mantello-4-Slot-Portable-Storage-Organizer/dp/B074CN3C82/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_qp_0_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B074CN3C82&pd_rd_r=FZX0PEFFENEZZPBQMP66&pd_rd_w=YvaTV&pd_rd_wg=DLyyO&psc=1&refRID=FZX0PEFFENEZZPBQMP66

I would like to make a combo video after I hopefully get a squidtrainer fairly soon and I was wondering what setup do you need to have to get a first person viewpoint in a video. I have a GoPro would a chest mount like this work?

I’ve used Flitz for surface rust and it worked great and knife was like new.

Fastest and safest way to handle cuts and literally have you flipping again in 10 min.

1. Wash under water.
   
2. Spray with bactine or peroxide
   
3. Cover with gauss or paper towel and hold in the air above the heart for a minute (stops blood flow)
   
4. Take krazy glue (not generic super glue, krazy is better for human skin) the kind with the fine applicator tip and lay down a stripe over the cut while holding the cut together so the glue is basically laying over the skin and not getting much or any inside the cut.
   
   Once dried, go back to normal life, flipping, typing, playing guitar, whatever it is you do, if it starts to crack away over the next day or 2 reapply as necessary, after 2 days it's generally closed for me, adjust to your own body as necessary.
   
   In other thoughts, when choosing your bali, if you can help it, try to avoid serrated blades, they make the cuts uneven and jagged and at multiple depths which is harder to heal. Also there's no point in having your bali at a mirror-edge shaving level of sharpness, it'll just increase your odds of slicing a tendon / arteries. Personally, I always EDC 2 knifes, literally 2 knives clipped to the same pocket, one is a 2.4 ounce benchmade 940 folder which I don't even notice because it's so light, and the other is my bali. When I need to actually cut things, i use the razor sharp 940. I've let my bali get naturally duller over time and normal use and I avoid constantly rehoning the blade so it remains at mediocre sharpness to prevent deep cuts. I see it it more of a sporting tool, it's never my number 1 cutting tool, I have great folders for that.

Here's a Shapton. They're pretty good from what I've heard. I have a Naniwa though and those run for more.

NOOO BUBBA, DON'T SUPER GLUE THEM. SERIOUSLY!!!

Loctite 243 is your friend. There is a half size bottle but it's only $7 cheaper so not even half price. 243 is good for most loctite purposes so just buy the big one and use it forever.

Would this work?
