Thank You very much
 
Also in all honesty, this site on the exchange is a great place, but generally the knives will be used so that is up to you if you care about that or not.
 
assisted knife.

But, whateatsrabbits is right. If your just starting out or if your young then it's fine to have a cheap balisong. But you will appreciate a quality balisong more. A hundred dollars will get you a good knife, the Bradley Kimura is a great example.

Have fun when you get one!:)
 
honestly, i wouldnt waste my time with cheapos, seriously, i have plenty of experience with them, they WILL break within no more than a month (if that), however, if you can find "the tank" balisong, go for it, i got mine for like 25$ on bladeplay, and 2 years later it still flips like the old school balisongs i have from the 80s, only problem is bladeplay doesnt carry them anymore....or any other sites that im aware of, but if you can find it, dont hesitate
 
Try and find an M-Tect twist, they are a cheaper model but still considered to be "OK" for the price.
As your progress though, you will want a higher quality knife.:thumbup:
 
If you can't afford the $75 or thereabouts for a used Bradley Kimura (brand new they cost around $100 shipped), I would take a look at the M-Tech Twist as mentioned by Twinbalis, or any of the Bear & Son model 114 line (114, 114A, 114B, or 114AB).

These are some of the "better" cheap balisongs. Before I bought my Kimura V, I started out with a Bear 114AB (4" tanto blade, 5" black handles) that I picked up for around $30. It's held up quite well. I don't think that money was wasted at all. Even though I have a Kimura (which is obviously much better), I still regularly flip my Bear.
 
I think there are several reasons for people not to want to buy an expensive one...they don't have a lot of income, want it to play with not to use, new to bali's, etc.

The whole, "cheap ones are absolutely going to break in a short time," is subjective. I've had a $15 mtech bali for 8+ years. I'll admit, it's missing a screw, and loosens up somewhat frequently, but I'd have no remorse in buying another.

That being said, you are very likely to notice a difference between a $20 bali, and a $200 one...BUT I don't think you have to spend a ton of money to get something that you will enjoy, & that will hold up to occasional spinning. Especially if you're unsure how much you really like them, or how much you'll use it.
