rarefishfinder giving them bad publicity

How did I do this? By telling a make belive story? Did I say that I could pull the stunt off? So please tell me what I said to give them bad publicity? was it throwing the balisong? I can throw a balisong quite well I dont even lock it when I do, Im sorry that all of you thought that the story was a delusional fantasy that I really believed that I could pull off, But from all of your responces it seems that in a Situation you will just wait to be saved. Im sorry I am confident enough in my skills that I would try and help any way I could. not just stand and hope to be saved.

so please I have respected all of your responces , respect mine & dont say that Im giving the balisong a bad name.
 
I dont think anyone need be offended over any of this. There's really no animosity, no one has gotten out of hand. Just a little fun.

Ninjas don't want balisongs anyway; they're far to noisey.

Yes, but if you threw on the anti-IR coating and the blood spatter control and developed a silencer...
 
:D Thank you for this hillarious post! The most I have laughed all day (and I have laughed quite a bit today already)! :D

Don't give the Dark Ops people any ideas. :D (I love the anti-IR coating bit.)
 
My friend, what you really want is a tactical Swiss Army Knife, or a TacSAK as elite black-op types like to call it. I have honed the edges on my toothpick and tweezers to shaving sharp and with a flick of my thumb can take out three bad guys. (The tweezers can take out two guys if they're standing really close together. Don't forget to use the magnifier as a scope.) Then, I extend all the tools and use the attached lanyard to turn my TacSak into the Flying Nunchuk of Death. I've brought down entire armies this way and even several girl scout troops. So, forget balisongs and learn to use the weapon that has brought the Swiss to the verge of world domination!
 
.........Hahahahhahhaahahhahahh

Edit (a serious question): I was thinking a while ago, and I recall rarefishfinder saying something to the effect of "A bali doesn't have to be open or closed to be deadly."

Anyway, does that mean that you have to hit someone with a half open bali? And even if you're holding the safe handle, isn't the likelyhood of it smashing/breaking every single damn bone in your hand really, really good?
 
no it wont break your knuckels.. I was taught to swing the knife you can use it as a club or you can swing it blade side out, its just the way I was taught swing front & back in the same motion in this time the bali is allways allmost open all the way, unless you want to slap some one with the handle. the knife should never touch your hand . you should be able to swing it the same safe handle or not. also I like and prefer the double edge blade.
 
This thread reminds me of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', when that guy draws his sword and does some fancy swings with it and Indiana pulls out his revolver and shoots him.:D

Lets take a look at this statement. First, you post the "4 armed men in a bank shooting people" story as an explanation for why you carry 4 balisongs- so you can be prepared. But now are you saying that you COULD actually do this, or that you COULDN'T? If its just a fantasy to you, then its not much of a rationale for carrying four knives, is it? If you honestly believe, all by yourself, that you could take out four men armed with guns and ready to shoot people for no reason, with your knife throwing skills, then good luck, because you're going to need a hell of a lot of it. I'm not doubting your ability to throw a balisong, but unless you are insanely lucky you are not going to take out four armed targets at once.

Sometimes waiting to be saved by professionals who are trained (and armed) to deal with it, or for the situation to change, is more likely to lead to your survival than whatever skills and weapons you might have on your person. Taking on 4 armed criminals who shoot unarmed people without hesitation, with a handful of balisongs seems suicidal.
 
I dont think it's silly. What if his arsenal of bali's was made of korths, dobruskis, and pabus? Whip them out, and while the the bank robber is stunned by the beauty of a custom balisong, sucker punch him. Maybe the correct approach is to carry 4 customs and not bms.
 
Ok cant fight a brick I tap out!

Im not a idiot guns win over knifes 95% of the time and yes it would have to be a very lucky day to win over 4 armed men, I do know this & my bank story was never ment to be taken as seriously as it was, but I am glad I could entertain you for a while. Peace!
 
So... why do you carry four (expensive and illegal) balisongs then, as opposed to just one, or one good one and one cheap throwaway?
 
Well I just like to have 4 , I work them with both hands and occasionly do drop one while working it . cheap throw aways would be cool but they just dont feel as good as a nice Bali.

No one in their right mind would do fancy balisong manipulation in a self defense situation. The fancy stuff is not designed for self defense at all...
 
MAN!!!

I was just getting ready to tell Heath to chill that no one was bashing Bali's and what if the guy was using the multiple implements on a SAK? Then I read further and see the SAK post. LOL I also thought about the Indiana Jones thing with the sword play vs the .45. Made me laugh even more.

Before I go any farther, what's a red chicklet? Not sure if I want one, but does anyone really think that someone with enough whatever to buy $800 of bali's in the first place, then replace said Bali's, would post this humor?

Sounds like a wet dream with a BM catalog and late night TV.
