Recommendation for first Balisong

[EliteMist]

Hi,
I was wondering if this looks like a good beginner Balisong. I have zero experience with Balisong's. Also wondering if you need to wait 24 hours after applying Loctite and if I should even get Loctite.
Here is the Knife.

Thanks,
EliteMist

Loctite it definitely someone else will be able to tell you what color loctite. And wait atleast a couple hours after applying should be fine

yes blue and yes wait the 24 hours. you usually get what you pay for in terms of quality with balisongs.

The knife in your link is a trainer (unsharpened) - and that's a good idea for a beginner. You can also get that same knife in a sharpened model (for the same price). It'll have the same weight and feel, so it should be an easy transition from the trainer to the real deal. Once you get good, check out Benchmade's selection of bali's - some of the best production quality available, IMHO (I've owned several, and they were all outstanding).
