The replicant is my fav knife in my collection, it has a bit of tap because I have used it for 6 years all the time! So I’m definitely not trying to say anything bad about it :)

Tap and play does not mean cheap. Some older flippers prefer more play because it can actually facilitate manipulation of the balisong better in some cases. I love my 42 and it has a good bit of play and tap. Still a god video though, it would have only said differently when there is so much tap the handles completely pass each other horizontally, your knife is probably too lose. Many good balisongs also just get loose and need a tighten on occasion Keep up the good work!

It sounds like you’re implying that she’s trying to sell her brand by using it as an example of a quality build. A) That’s what you’re supposed to do when you build a quality product. B) This video did not come across like a sales pitch at all. C) Keep in mind that she said the first knife is her favorite. Forgive me if I’m wrong but your use of “clever” implies you suspected some kind of self serving intent. I didn’t get that vibe at all.

@3dChris no worries. Hard to tell on the internet with snarky, spiteful jerks at every turn. I'm just a family man, flipping balis and having fun 😂😂.

Thank you I will have to buy one

Since the wave is channel construction, and more room is cut out in the channels the farther down the blade, it makes for less tap. Sandwich balisongs can be tuned to a T and still have tap, but it’s not bad, won’t affect flipping, and isnt an issue if there’s no blade rub. Reps will have tap since there’s barely any space for the blade to move, and tap can be worked out through a couple of odd tricks, for example, dropping it. Lol. Either way, both the wave and rep keep their tune very well, as mine has proven to hold up very well with little maintenance, and reps are reps. Very well proven to be great.

I’m waiting on loctite to come in the mail but what I’ve noticed is as my pivot screws loosen and I start getting more tap and play, roll overs, chaplains and aerials get a fair bit harder coz the knife doesn’t wanna stay balanced You just said it doesnt really effect flipping much and I wanted to add my 2 cents It’d obviously depend on the knife tho, mines already handle biased so if the handles are moving around it’d have more of an effect on the centre of gravity than it would in a pivot-balanced bali

It's crazy you never even thought you'd be some hot knife flipping badass, yet here you are explaining the intricacies. Lol so cool.

Tap and play are preferences. Some people want maxace tolerances and some people want tap and play. Believe it or not.

I was sad until I realized I was testing out a balisong that I got off of AliExpress for a literal single dollar with free delivery 💀

Acquired the Kershaw lucha in blue titanium and carbon, I couldn’t ask for a better balisong

I got a trainer on amazon for 499 Indian rupees (approx. 5.99 usd I think) and It's pretty good, no tap and a little play

I just got the Amazon knife and it’s pretty good🎉

I advise everyone wanting to purchase anything online that is wanting questions on what you want to buy just do a review of probably any product out there and purchase with knowledge and save yourself from getting taken. 👍🙂

the only Balisong i have is super cheap and has tons of tap and play, but i still manage to do things like the full twirl and y2k

Instructions unclear I’m a butterfly now

Thank you

my knife has a lot of both tap and play, lets just say you can fit a marker in between the handles during when checking for play

So cool

The rap is coming from that metal thing on the end that keeps it closed

Good info.

i bought a cheap amazon one as my first and the play doesnt really affect it to much imo but that might just be me

nice

I just got a $68 bear and son butterfly knife and It has a lot of play and tap

i have a cheap amazon knife and i've learnt to many advanced tricks

As the town folks of Barangay Balisong in Taal Batangas Philippines used to say. Flipping and manipulation is nothing if you can't use the balisong for self defense or utility work.. it's empty and just for show..

Have it right now and mines perfect somehow but there is just a little bit of tap

where are the other two knives from? not the amazon one?...

I had a practice butterfly knife that had a lot of play in it end up, losing both of the screws that attached the handles to the blade itself so now it’s no longer usable

I'm a beginner what balisong should I be using to learn tricks? Dose it even matter?

Are you able to do these tricks with those butterfly-combs from amazon? Are they bad quality? I was thinking on getting one of those to play, as I don't want any knives, also it's illegal where I live

I can only do a basic twirl with mine and it’s a cheap one off amazon

My Kershaw lucha has no play and no tap. It's even better than I thought!

The Amazon knife is a trainer! 😶

I got this cheap 7 dollar balisong and it has little to no play and the tap only comes from the rattling of the lock thing on the end of the bite side

I have the same Amazon knife in my hand when I saw this

I have the cheap Amazon knife used in the video at the handles don’t move like how she said at there’s no tap.

I stopped flipping for a while and just came back to it, what knife is the 2nd one?

my cheap practice one had huge play and tap after a year of dropped it got lose and i could not tighten it no matter what i tried till it finally fell apart 😢

My one and only knife has so much play that the handles spread about an inch away if u hold them apart 😅

I got a squiddy-b for my birthday and a Lucha for Christmas, the Lucha has some tap and play and I was wondering if there is any way to fix it?

Is it at all possible that it is because the Amazon knife is a practice knife? Probably not, just curious.

That’s a lot of tap for the rep me and 2 other homies share all of our knifes we beat tf outa ours when ours are on they last time they have tap and play but I think you need to tune your screws a little bit maybe oil

The cheap butterfly knife actually does not have any tap it is that little thing coming off of it which makes it tap but it does have play

Damn that brs is crying in your hands

Mines both a tap, and play balisong

How is your Amazon knife still intact, I had the exact same one and I fell apart after like 2 months
