1) What is a good balisong for around $130.00-$160.00?
2) Are they legal to carry in.. (NC/VA)
3) Would you recommend one as an EDC?

1)Morpho/51 if you can find them in that range.
2) Legal for carry in VA don't know about in NC
3) The Morpho/51 are great edcs. I don't own them but some swear by them

Check out the Balisong forum here we are lots of help.
 
If you dont mind building one urself the Typhoon is pretty good value for money.

For EDC it is a bit problematic. Unlike a typical folding knife you just flick out a simple folding knife to use but a balisong takes too much attention so I feel it is not as good as a typical folding knife for EDC.
 
but it is way stronger. IMHO, a balisong is the mid way between the strength of a fixed blade and a folder.

Agreed. The only way the "lock" can "fail" is if one of the pins actually breaks.
Look at the Bradley Kimura (or Kimura II), usually available for around $85 - 100, made by Kershaw.
Also, seconded: head over to the balisong forum and read some stuff! :)
