Is Asian Knife Express any good?

[Cerealman]

Well, I was searching around on the internet recently and stumbled upon http://www.balisongworld.com/home.aspx?Merchant=asianknifeexpress and wondered if the site was really that cheap or if it's just a bunch of crock.

So, has anyone here bought something from them or can vouch for them in any way?

Also, I believe this is the right forum to post this in, but it might not. Sorry if it isn't.

Hmmmm.....

This site gives no ownership information, no street address, no telephone number, no e-mail address. Do you really want to send your money off into a black hole?

Their returns policy is, "Asian Knife Express will not accept returns. No returns - No refunds - No exchanges." That doesn't exactly encourage me to buy from this site.

No. This site is clearly
a shady place doubtlessly selling cheap junk.

If you want a balisong knife, ask in the balisong forum here at bf.c and we'll point you to good places to buy good knives.

QFT.

Also, imho, it´s never a good idea to buy a cheap Balisong. I know it´s tempting and I did it once. After an hour or so of flipping, one of the screws had stripped out and came loose. As a result, I sent the Bali (minus one handle) flying through the room. Thankfully, noone was hurt.

In the end, trust me when I say that you´re better off spending more to buy from a reputable manufacturer, such as Benchmade, Spyderco etc. than to go with a $15 cheapo that you´ll throw away after a couple of days.
