Question about 2 handed weighting, and Cudeman bali

[Gibberish*]

Ok, first is my question about 2 handed weighting. I already have a 23s (silver skeletonized, half serrated), and i want another for 2 handed bali. I really like the looks of the jag with black inserts, but it is heavier than the skelitonized jag. So would the difference in weights effect 2 handed? If so, i'll just get another skelitonized, and maybe the one with inserts as well... Also, i have seen this cudeman bali:

for $10... it looks pretty spiffy, but is it worth the $10, or is it just going to fall apart... It's pretty hard for me to come across cash these days, so your advice would be appreciated. Thanks-

You definitely should want a matching pair for getting started with some double bali action, atleast when your skills are equal in both hands. Before then, you might even consider getting a really light weight balisong to learn some skills and strengthen that hand before you can effectively manipulate a heavy Jag, but that is only a sugestion.

The cudeman is probaly on the same level as the china cheapies but maybe with a little better steel in the blade. For 10$ it might be worth it(seen them go for 30+ at auction) but dont expect alot from it.

BTW, I do love the blade shape...it would be nice to see it as a new blade option for the 42

Well, i can already manipulate a jag with my left hand some, just not that well hehe... So i guess i'll get another skelitonized jag (black this time... woohoo) and one o' dem Cudemans too, cause they look neat. I'll get one of those jags with inserts later on : )-
