I really like mine. Its pretty sturdy. I don't manipulate mine though. I got my 3" godlen dragon for $15.00.

I hope this helps,

edit: are they all 3-inchers, or do they come in different sizes?

According to mr. Imada's Advanced Balisong Manual there are 3 sizes of Golden Dragons, a 3", a 5" and a whopping 7 incher

These are nice quality knives from the "japan bali" era of 1980s. I think most of us agree that Taylors best was the manila folder in its many variations but the golden dragon is a good one. If anyone saw them at $15 it would be worth buying a truckload of them.
At one time I had a few even one,oddly enough eith black handles that was still marked Golden Dragon and other then the color was exactly the same. I've never seen the large one mentioned in Imada's book.
