I found a way to recycle your el cheapo balis sleeping in drawers.
Cut off the blade at the bottom of it, keeping the pin area. There remain two handles that flip around each other.
Name it swell, give it a medical hype, show up on TV shopping, make your million (or another million?) $$$!
Merchandising is what I'm not sure, but removing blade area will give not only a lot more duribility to cheap balis, giving much less impact when opening / closing, but also give legality in any area of the world.
Only disadvantage is it can't cut anymore. So what? It doesn't cut anyways even with its blade. You have decent knife/knives that cuts already.
Cthulu, I was was thinking a Refloxology related only to foot. Thank you for enlightenint me.
