How many people actually use balisongs?

[Grease]

One thing I don't understand is why people say it's a strong design. I've seen too many Batangas balisongs that were loose as heck because of worn out latches and pivot pins. They probably wear out faster and there are better lock designs out there. One good point is that they are a design that doesn't really require coils or springs, making it easy to manufacture in less industrialized settings.

And that is why they say to only buy a high end balisong if you buy a balisong.

If you like it, you'll never need another. If you don't, it's got resale value.

I carry my 32 all the time. It's like have a small folding fixed blade at hand.
