Correction for the video. I was disappointingly clouded out of the Eclipse so I only got to see it get dark. The sun peeked from behind the clouds for a grand total of 30 seconds the entire 2 and a half hours the moon was in front of the sun and I missed totality entirely.

I saw the partial eclipse over here in Alabama on the first day of my last year of Elementary school. Now I am a senior in high school and about to go watch it again!

Just saw your video on the home page and was like "Oh a new video from blade bias". and then saw that it was uploaded 28 seconds ago😂 Great video.

The full eclipse went straight over my home in Austin Texas and we saw it from our backyard. It was super cool!

I knew about the eclipse the same time you did, felt good flexing it

I actually just bought a pre-production hydro second hand the other day. I’m super excited for it to arrive.

The Hydro looks sick honestly, I'm a sucker for titanium sandwich (proud BBSuperfly parent

Let’s gooo. Hydro!!! There was some sort of eclipse going on at blade show west and it was pretty cool. Very fortunate timing for me.

The Hydro is a fantastic balisong def my fav to flip at the moment. I thought the shorter handles would be an issue but the balance is great they obviously put a lot of work into this.

Wicked Sic!!! Excellent rundown!!!😀😀😀😀

Honestly one of my earlier favorites was the squidtrainer so although my preferences are quite different, I still have a soft spot for the slightly shorter, squareish but rounded handles like on the bermuda or triton, I can't wait to try out a hydro :0

I really like the sound on mine as well I find it's a really quiet and clicky as well I don't get nearly as many comments when I flip it around family about it being annoying or loud I have the original spacers I tend to find that the grip is pretty good on the side with the standard sandwich

I love ultem. Great tough material. Looks awesome.

The eclipse was in full totality for three minutes over my house, pictures don’t do it justice. Looking at it without glasses on when it becomes total is a once in a lifetime experience. So cool

is that a phone charger??? oh my god. i was right. all balisong reviewers do is charge they phone, handle bias, and lie

Shout-out cheez it box still in the trash Oh yeah btw the hydro is a actual razor

Respect the IEMs

Game changer for me was getting the zippy extended spacers. Thing is crisp now

"Its so small and slippery" well said ethan

Where I live it was only about a 40% eclipse AND it was cloudy all day so I didn’t see anything. Bummer

I got to experience a total eclipse my freshman year of highscool in California, truly a crazy experience

lmao 10/10 tolerances. mine has a side that was never surface ground so it makes tolerances terrible tbf it's not THAT small it's got the same dimensions as a squidtrainer, just less chunky handles. i do like the balance, it weirdly feels similar to a more angular tsunami, but i wish it chaplined better since it has a good bit of pivot weight. granted i haven't tried a full production one yet, but while i have grown on it a fair bit i am disappointed in what i got with its weird issues for.. a measly $20 discount when a willhirsch code would take off more

Hey Ethan. You probably already knew this and probably think im stupid for saying this, but they do make unsharpened versions of the hydro.

I got to see it but we had like 50% visibility so it wasn’t the best, I’m happy to see it because there eont be another eclipse like this in the US for on other 21 years.

I also live near where the eclipse happened and I thought it was really cool

I just ordered a vulp and a glydr pacific after me and my homie were playing with a cheap 20 dollar one and broke it but how often do you do maintenance on your balisongs? Or is it just situational when you get tap or play

My total solar eclipse was about 89% coverage. but it rained

Only getting the partial eclipse here in the chicago area :(

I wasn’t able to view the eclipse. Though in the path of totality, it was cloudy and rained a little

Snake egg magnet ah noise

I think the next one going through the US is in 2044

I'm really digging mine as I've been getting into shorter balis as of recently. I'd also highly recommend the Zippy lighter than stock ass weight inserts and nothing in the blade. My, preproduction, the only thing i noticed that was wonky was the angles at the tanto area of the blade.

I just saw the total eclipse from Ohio, it was STUNNING

idk why my first thought was a titanium squidtrainer😭

Kinda random but what stand is that?

What balisong display stand do you use? Or did you make it yourself? I want one just like it.

Before watching this video, I predicted you're gonna mention that you got it from Ted Flips, haha! You got so many packages sent over from Ted. I just knew it!

eclipse was cool my school gave everyone glasses free but everyone just looked at it with their eyes so now we might be a school for the blind but we got to see a 100% solar eclipse so

random important question: do you have any idea on what happened to the Slift T in the machine wise shop?

Judging by the trash can, you live on chips and soda. Gotta save up for those balis

Bro keep calling it the hydra instead of the dydro 😂😂😂still love the video though❤❤❤

slayed💦

Really liking my #16/400 First Production Hydro which I picked up at BS Texas - it is buttery smooth. Regarding The Event today, I'm lucky because my hometown is directly in the total eclipse path - so my traveling to see it entails walking out my front door. 😛

4:55 that's what she said

Who is “THIS GUY”?!?😂

Day 1 of asking you to try VTOL VR

Couldn't you just get the dull one since they don't have a trainer yet?

molten hot take, the hydro is tsunamis very ugly little brother.

I was on the way home watching @buffnessflips video and said Ethan should get to flip this cause I like his thoughts too

lol those blades are illegal af here

balde bias

Looks like about the same size as a bm51 lol

only time i wish i was american tbh

I’ll show you something so small and slippery!

For some reason i really dislike the design of the hydro

im glad squid is continuing to develop knives and push the hobby further. but man that has got to be one of the most ugly/simple looking balisongs ive ever seen. it looks like an unfinished prototype

Sorry but I find this thing hideous. 😂

It's a bummer but I've never been excited for Hydro becuse of how f ugly it looks imo
