Good Balisong?

[Disco Stu]

I saw a Bear MGC 'butterfly knife' with a damascus blade t'other day. Very pretty. But is it any good?

As I understand it, finding a good bali is about as easy as finding a good Italian stiletto; in that it's almost a myth. But among cheaper butterfly knives, is this one worth the $35?

Thanks,
Disco Stu

For the lower end balis, Bear is pretty good as compared to china's and Jaguars. For $35, its not bad of a deal. However, if you plan on using it as a user, I don't suggest a bear tanto as it has a heavy and unbalanced feel. You might want to look at the bears with the clip blade or at the Jaguars at 1sks.com.
