Heres a couple manila folders you don't see too often. These Taylor/Seto' balisongs came out of Seki Japan in the early to mid 80's, before the importation ban, and have faired well since then.
The brass handled one with stag inserts is one of the rarer versions. It also has skeleton holes in both ends of the handles, lock up is perfect, blade is a typical razor sharp manila weehawk with sharpened swedge, and appears to have never been used to cut anything. The handle patina is original and even. This balisong has perfect hidden SS pivot pins, and little to no latch wear what-so-ever. A real gem. $withdrawn
The second one is exactly the same, but with light weight aluminum handles, and some kind of hardwood inserts. The light weight gives this folder an excellent swing. I have a real hard time not flipping the poop outa this one every time I pick it up. It has some where because of that fact, but still a heck of a lot of balisong for your buck here folks. Blade is razor sharp with a sharpened swedge. $SPF conus
