I Just Bought A 100 Year Old Balisong & What A $350,000 Swiss Army Knife Looks Like !!! 

Think of how much history that bali has seen. One hundred years. Telephones were barely a thing. The television hadn't even been thought off. It's crazy.

Here is "tomorrows" video today :) lol couldn't wait to post it so here ya go, enjoy for the next 48 hours...

11:06 to see the $350,000 Swiss Army Knife...

Congrats on the find !!

“Banging out moves” im weak🤣🤣🤣

I actually get pretty excited when I have to spend hours tracking down information on something. For the most part I grew up in a time where you could just google everything and have the answer in seconds. So when I google something and *don't* find the answer anywhere, and I have to dig, I feel like I've found something special. Something that hasn't been touched by the modern world.

Really cool piece of history, great find!

Balisongs are probably my favorite design of knives. When I see a cutlerylover video with balisong in the title it’s gonna be cool, because I know you like them as much as I do. Bali’s are still taboo topic even among knife guys. Also most have never held a quality Bali or took the time to learn tricks.

Nice find!

I’ve got a 1908 Hemming Brothers “Fisherman” still sharp and still stiff. Love your new find Jeff

Thats a really cool balisong,ive been trying to get me one lately

Hey Jeff love ya videos

Nice find. Really interesting

Very unique find!!

Give us at least one good flip! It won't hurt it (probably). Love your stuff Jeff!

I have a late 90’s Jaguar balisong & a early 2000 440 stainless china balisong. Both are pinned with nails cuz the original pins fell out lol..

Great find.

Found a bunch more information On that particular “SAK” the newest edition I could find of the same book (circa 2010 but I’m sure there is a newer version) the value was still $350,000 the color photo of that knife is pretty wild

Nice find not something I would particularly spend money on but I can hear how happy it makes you

Jeff looking at you’re phone in the early morning is more likely to wake you up. The ‘blue’ light the screen gives out stimulates your brain. I’m guilty of the same thing tho haha

late night internet searches are the best. ive ordered a lot of old 90s stuff ive had or always wanted. try the cheap knife sections on ebay i still have a small fixed blade i spent 1.20 on.

Very cool knife

Cool how things that would be so normal back when they were popular get cooler as they age.. I'm 18 and I just bought a walkman and a ton of Cassettes, very cool stuff.

Not surprising to see the two handle design around for a long time, but I'd be interested in seeing when/where the idea of making it free-flowing (and consequently latches and kickers) started vs this type of friction folder that just happens to cover both sides of the blade Would also be interested in when the idea of pinching the blade with somthing like a tang ping or zen pin came around.

Never knew Balisongs were somewhat popular in Europe like that. How crazy. Also I'm currently moving out of my college house that was built in 1910 lol. Back to movin!

Interesting blade Jeff.

Holy crap that table is still going strong

I have two old balisongs. One with a bone or horn handles, the other with wood and brass handles. Think they are early 1900 balisongs. Maybe late 1800.😊

I got exactly the same knife, the only one difference is the pin to block the handle is not round, but square-shaped, with an incision to insert a fingernail.

I found a bronze butterfly knife in my grandparents room...i think it is very antique, yet very simple design...

Jeff likes it stiff

Please do flipping videos!! I’ve been a fan since 2011 and loved the tutorial series.

Great vid , I have the same one.😀

I had not watched this before today and found it fascinating. Made me wonder about the Company and if they produced WW1 and WW2 fighting knives or bayonets.

My oldest balisong is a 440 stainless steel from Winchester that my dad bought back in 1987

Amazing old Balisong knife! :D

I had one that was made in the Philippines back in the early 1900

"No Tang Pin" lol

I just got one from a pawn shop for $5 and I think it might be from the 20's from the very little bit of info I can find.

Ah, if I would have known you buy balisongs I would have sold you my original Butterfly brand balisong from the 60's. It was in great condition but I sold it.

Cheap ? I see a knife that's slim, nice and lightweight, and when sharp would slice like a dream. That's what I love about old imperial shell construction slipjoints. For most people myself included a folding knife doesn't need to be heavy duty and impractical, it just needs to effortlessly cut through things.

My dad have a butterfly knife, cause when he was a kid, he was in turkey on tour and bought a butterfly knife and we still have it. But imagine it’s much worth.🤔😅🧐

Antique appraisals are usually a let down, I bet they put a $150-$200 value on it. Still not bad if you paid under 100.

What reference book is that you have on the table

Hey Jeff, I’ve got a trade offer of a g10 dragon fly and a orange Kershaw leek for my orange griptilan. Does that sound like a good deal?

I could edc that 350k "sak" 😂😂

Cool History on knife

I don't understand tang pins on the newer knives. I'm filipino, these knives originated from my country and our knives never had tang pins. Those latches are designed to keep the knife straight when opened and closed. The handles are always flushed tight without any gaps in between them.

Hello I just came across a bilasong Knife looks to be vintage would you be able to help me identify it? Thank you in advance

Have one like send u a picture of one can u give me the value and yr? Can't find it nowhere

My oldest balisong is from the 70s

Man it must suck to have one back then

My oldest bali is a taylor seto master from the 1980's

Oooo yes

My bear and son 114 butterfly knife is 15 days old

if you dont mind me asking, what is your most expensive knife & how much does it cost ?

hey jeff, where can i buy balisong knives? please tell me a place not a website because in my country i cannot buy anything from the internet. thanks for replying, love your channel, cigars and especially pocket knives, and that's why i'd like to add a balisong to my collection. cheers!

have a Few PC bali and old benchmade customs one with ivory have a 1 hr vid on my channel of most of my collection

The oldest knife I own is a pattern of 1908 Brazilian bayonet

Jeff I picked up a dollar store sharpening stone to see how bad it is. I am just too afraid to test it. Just looking at it I know it will ruin a knife.

Bonza - Werk I don't know if you tried to say "Werk" or you had "Work" as a translation... If it was supposed to be a translation it would be translated with "Factory". But the problem here is that "Werk" could be just a name. Second problem is that "Werk" could also mean something like a work piece and not factory and that way it would be translated with "work" but this is more unlikely. I can tell you that because I'm a German. Greetings from Germany!

2017 brs barebones v.2

Looks like CPM 20CV to me

Balisong- broken horn Bali- from the Filipino word means broken Song- short word for "sungay" means horn "Balisong refers to a broken horn" because the handle of an authentic balisong is made from a carabao horn

There is a Ka- Bar skinner on eBay for around $600. worth it?

I have a model 42 thats 15 years old.

Hey it’s a Manila style balisong

Where are good places to find old knives or knives for restoring online? Of course I’m sure eBay and stuff. My town doesn’t have a lot on Craigslist and can’t go to flea markets cause of family. But I’d like to grab some more. Any type of knives worthy of restoring. Any recommendations, tips or suggestions anyone? I’d like to practice and do more. I spent 25 years in martial arts training with all forms of weaponry and I was a chef so I’ve been around blades my entire life and only recently got into collecting again and restoring. I also just want practice on restoring and sharpening. Cheap or decent it doesn’t matter as long as it’s an ok value ya know? (Have stones and ken onion work sharp, along with some other stuff)

I have the camb

it kinda looks like a bbbarfly

Wait, that was 350,000, dude you should have gotten 1,000 alpha beasts

This one probably wasn’t made for flippability

I have one just like this one if anyone wants it

Check out the math on Jeff

*_If you managed to kill them i assure you they were not like me_*

Valor cho, year unknown. Very heavy

I know you usually stick to cigars, but do you think you can review the JUUL? It's a cigarette alternative, but it's like the iphone of vapes.

a ruler you dont bring to school

These are illegal to own where I live, meaning you could get arrested for having it in your home.

Anybody else realize that the balisong is a Manila style?

Shoepp is pronounced as shoop if you were german! Although I know of a family who pronounce it as Shepp. Just letting you know 🙂

I was gonna spend my 300k on a Lamborghini but okkk

He might not have pulled the listing; balisongs aren't allowed on eBay. Occasionally prohibited items get posted and you can skirt the policy by changing the title. I'd be careful buying because eBay and PayPal might not protect the buyer if the seller breaks the rules.

I believe the balisong / fan knife was invented in France atleast that's as far as evidence takes us for now.

Schoep / Schöp is pronounced more like "Sherp"

Saw one on eBay and I should’ve bid

Talking about expensive swiss army knifes, victorinox sells a knife with a 1 gramm gold bar inside it with a little window to look at it. Seems like your sort of thing lol. Oh, and this thing... assets.victorinox.com/mam/celum/celum_assets/fbc/b4c/8864709541918_celum_125928_1280Wx1120H.jpg weird swiss army knifes man.

That's funny. Your pronunciation of the name is incorrect. Think of it like the icecream. Said like Shepp.

YOU PAID $350,000 wtf Oh wait its in the book he didnt pay it he just showed it....

I actually do not own a balisong since I live in Germany :/

Late to the party colonel

First
