Hello,

Welcome to the forum. To answer your question for balisong techniques the only website you'll need is Clay's at http://www.balisongxtreme.com It'll bring you throught the beginner to advance stages, anything beyond that is up to you

slayerized: could you please clarify what you mean by "satin finish",do you mean anodized?If it is then your talking about the BM-42a

I can't think of any other finish that the 42 came in besides the anodized and the plain finish,which I thought was called a "satin finish",because the handles aren't mirror polished on the 42.
Am I the one who's mixed up or is "slayerized" the one who is mistaken?

I believe he was refering to the blade when he mentioned the finish.
