Hey all,
I know its not exactly a knife but i just picked up an orange and red one for 15$
and its a pretty cool toy thing :D . what do you guys think of them
 
Those are fund little balisong esque items. You should really spring for a real balisong or atleast a trainer, or just tape the blade on a live one.
 
I recently got one and i loved it because it gave me something to do while I order take at drive-thru with my freehand! My only problem with it is that its super light and can easily fly out of your hands. Another feature that i didn't like was the fact it does not lock when opened...i wish they made a latch for it. I made a makeshift one using a paperclip and worked good until it started to poke me. I had the baliyo for 2 days until the plastic circle area with the metal insert broke. Now its really light and not worth flipping. But for $10 shipped. Kind of a good deal! I ordered myself another one :D
 
I believe there is a cheaper Chinese one and then a more expensive one. I would assume the more expensive one would fair better.
 
The budget Chinese-made one is a more brittle plastic and lighter construction. The more expensive one is USA-made, a much more impact resistant plastic, and has brass weights rather than steel so it has better heft.
