man's ballisong buisiness fails because he wants to keep all of them.

Addiction is a mental prison

I literally had a dream on Monday that I walked into blade hq and the guy behind the counter looked at me and said "how yall doin s' Jared". Same voice and everything. I have been thinking about it ever since. I might be traumatized emotionally.

I tend to run into the same problem with anything collectible. Gotta get two of em. One to use and another to never use.

I felt this video in my soul

These videos are just straight up flexing. I love it

I can stop when I want to, I don't have an addiction.

How y’all doin,it’s Jared. - Jared

This “rant” makes way to much sense so I’m not sure if it counts as a rant. This is simply a video with facts on top of facts.

Keep your knives. Sell a kidney, you only need one.😉

You need more subscribers my guy! Id love for you to make a vid on the difference of curved and straight balisong flipping. Your vids are awesome!

Love your collection. I had one back in the 90s that got stolen from me. And have searched for a true benchmade every since. Found my 1st one last year at a swapmeet in Missouri the #67. These things are hard to find. Especially now I moved back to California. I cant even find a shop to do a professional cleaning and sharpening. Mine sat in my gun locker for about 6 months and has a couple small black dots on the blade.😭

My problem with knives (I own 60+ now, with ~50 being $100 or more) is that I’m not a tactile person...EXCEPT with knives. Nearly every knife I’ve bought is something I love to fiddle around with in my hands. The only ones I don’t like are some of my early purchases that aren’t worth the trouble I’d have to go through to sell them.

I go through the same thing every time I go to sell knives. I just have to remind myself I don’t have infinite funds to pump out videos and do giveaways so I have to sell. And then the culling happens and I cry in the corner for two weeks. But eventually I’ll get over it...right?

where is my "sharp balisong are illegal in my country" gang at?

Anyone who has a collecting hobby understands this feeling all too well

man im petty but you take this stuff to another level

Most people normally encounter this problem when buying things, but it is funny to see that you are on the other end of the spectrum. Owning things is more complicated than just purchasing or selling an item.

Damn these balisongs are so damn gorgeous I can't even afford one of these balisongs

Awesome vid man!

I didn't understand knife collecting before this but I think I get it now

love the vids

This crack is really good crack. I like crack a lot. I'm going to keep this piece of crack. I am also going to keep all of the other crack rocks I have been more crack rock is better than less crack rock.

I’m pissed he didn’t flip that otf closed as soon as the video ended

I go threw this in my head everyday, just bought a Black Washed Kershaw Lucha so I decided to sell my old Lucha then I changed my mind 33 times and decided to keep both. (I love them)💪

There are so many times i had to scream "BREATHE DUDE" at the screen. Also Nice Knives man.

love you luger bro you're so dope

Me happy just having my one since Christmas

I love the Tachyon 3's so much, wish i was in a country where i could get Live blades ;-;

i feel like i just fell down a knife filled rabbit hole

Hey Jared, full ti Hybrid Reps are in stock at BHQ right now 🙃

I actually have an idea, instead of selling knives, trade them for a short period of time. Others can try out your knives for a month and you can try theirs and neither of you has to spend money. You can also buy them off each other after that month if both sides prefer their borrowed knives.

Good rant. Now imagine watching this when your local politicians say this is all forbidden fruit one must never even think of having a taste of.

Lmfao I feel you man

just watched a 3 minute ad on your video. you can have that

Me explaining to my mom why I can’t get rid of my legos:

I have the same issue all the time, and I always say "in 5yrs it'll be way more valuable" so I just keep everything 😂

I’m glad I’m not the only one who buys duplicates; one to keep NIB, untouched, and another to use / play with. 🤫🤓

If you ever decide to get rid of the 32 please let me know. I'll give it a good home. (Also this video makes complete sense)

I understand this but it’s giving my cheap Amazon balis to my friends it’s hard to do

good job

Since the 63 Discontinued do you ever think they will do the same for the 62? Just wondering because I got mine for a really good price.

I feel your pain brotha

Damn your wild!!!! Wow thing tweak is involved

I have this problem with flipping my knives and end up just flipping my rep all the time but I have all these other knives I can flip but i forget about em and leave them to collect dust

Gonna get that plaque soon

We all have this problem it's just a thing when it comes to balisongs

The way I always look at it is if aren’t using it you don’t need it. Why? Because of you died tomorrow someone is getting it free or of little charge and they’re going to use them and you passed having never enjoyed them. Scary thought but very realistic.

Where do you get these knives to begin with? I would want to start a collection but idk where to get them

I had to pay 500 dollars for my white and Purple mint rep since it is so hard to find.

I have the opposite problem I can’t seem to find knives I want to keep usually.

Where does one sell a balisong? E-bay and craigslist are out. Got a BM42 10 years ago used it for about two hours.

You speak my language

what kind of storage roll is that? where did you get it

i feel u man

Get this man to 100 k subs

SAME i have the same problem but with buying knives not selling them

Where would you get a holster like that

Yeah it do be like that

so close to 100k

This is called "being a collector with good taste" syndrome. It's my whiskey collection, and soon to be my knife collection (assuming I actually have good taste XD)

I just bought a AGA Campolin zero plus

Is there a trainer version of The storm trooper?

Almost 100k

Where did you get that holder

Hahah i am not a knife guy but i feel the thinking process😅

For me as a newbie it's important to compare balis and because I don't know people who own some I have to buy and sell until I found my holy grail. Example: Tang vs. zen pins? Bushings vs bearings? Sandwich vs. channel design? Do I need a pocketclip? After figuring all that out the question remains where to get something affordable that has everything that I want... And that is legal in my country (Germany)... Aaaaarh!

I have a bbbarfly pro v2 now, but I still keep my crappy amazon trainers and my squiddy just because I'm emotionally attach to them

I am confused about the 51. Was it discontinued? It's not on BladeHQ nor the BladeHQ and some say It's discontinued. Love the collection btw. I only have BM51 as my only good knife and I feel emotionally attached to it so I partially know how you feel. Hopefully I can get the replicant one day. Or perhaps the Basilisk. Love knifes way too much

We're for u buy like what website like something like blade HQ or just from the producer it self normally

Any recommendations for a newbie like me? Im kinda looking for something like the benchmade 51, but i can't find any...

I’m new flipper looking for a good knife in the 100 dollar range, any recommendations and where to get them? And nice collection, I’m jealous, I collect knives but I haven’t had a live blade balisong yet, I plan to get one soon, sometime this month just trying to get a good one so it lasts

I need to know the tragic backstory to these knifes. This trauma goes deeper than some people’s daddy issues

literally me too man....only with balis.....

What is the price of the cheapest balisong in that collection?

These ain't flippers dammit! Well apart from that, i get the same issues, with the exception that my knives all fall into two categories: worth basically nothing (at most 50 bucks new) so not worth selling or built myself so sentimental and quite difficult to sell too.

6:22 hit me like a train :( I suck but still would love to grow my collection

My brain when it cant stop

I sold my BM51 about a year ago.... i regret it now lol.

Here I am with a $15 balisong thats half plastic. Good luck with your flippers mate!

I'll buy one

So to help, the 51, barebones, and the tach 3s honestly aren't worth selling to secondary market, they don't get any sort of good prices second hand, unless you sell all at once, they're stuff you might as well keep if you're only gonna sell one. The hom, ab, rep and petrel are sadly the only ones that'll drive decent prices which kinda sucks

Where did you get tha bag? Please... I want to know

I'm 100% the same way man. That being said, I've always regretted not getting one of the Stormtrooper Tachs, hit me up on IG if you're ever interested in selling/trading/swapping, permanent or even just temporary!

Brother,For How much will you sell that barebones and BM51

How much is the stormtrooper and the 51

I wish I had any balisongs however I got rid of all of them when I moved to canada

Is your name Jared, or Jerry? Thought it was Jared, but not sure. Wanted to get it right. Also, do you think that Kershaw knives are better than Buck? Because I know that Buck uses 420 steel (but its heat treated). Not sure exactly what type Kershaw uses.

Would you be interested in proxying a knife up north?

I'd buy that gold BROUS but alas, I live in Cali.

My AB and rep was complete opposite. AB came perfect and my rep came with a too small of bushing

damn bro u still got a doosh? i sold my green one i miss it

Would you want to trade your tachyon storm trooper for an exclusive blue g10 stonewashed benchmade 51?

yeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A video from Luger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As another Balisong collector, I feel the same way, but I won't sell any knife, because I know I will have sellers remorse. With a collection that hit a 4 digit number 5 times in cost, I have definetly put a tight hold on my wallet. To the point that I have to budget for knives, and cut out other expenses. Firearms too.

I want them

just keep them. with all my collections, i weed through them and keep what's worth keeping. and you my friend only have knives worth keeping.

I was thinking I liked fiew but .... selling knifes is up to another point ....by the way I was going for the same knife u had at the ending between classy scandy dagger or clean tanto cause I brake the crap out a my knifes and I saw that as blade option but cleaning after use ain't my thing like wholes saw side even for grip like tumb grip just gets shit shit in the handle after all sadly cleaned my old butterfly and tough check out the video the trooper blade is noice

Hi, my names Asher and I’m a knife addict.

Soooo... how much for the replicant
