I wanted to bring this up somewhere and as Baliyo's are made more or less by Spyderco I came here, maybe hoping Sal or someone else will see it and do something about the matter.
The Baliyo is a great product and I absolutely love it, it's something to quench my thirst for flipping while at work, school or anywhere else for that matter. But it's definitely not perfect.
Several Baliyo users have probably experienced this:
The crack is in the handle where the brass ring is.
I'm just baffled that Spyderco put out a product with such a weakness. The plastic on that spot is just a millimeter or two thick and many users like I have snapped it in one or more places. So I'm requesting if the design could be improved, all that it needs is a bit more plastic on the spot.
If I lived in the States I'd just send it back but from way out here it's too much of a hassle. So I'll fix it with some epoxy.
