It's sharp, ain't it? (My example is as at least as sharp as any knife in recent memory.)

Indeed! My most recent Rex-121 PM2 might have been a touch sharper out of the box, but they're both literally hair popping! Big fan of their BBB 15V!!!

Weird Wednesday, checking out this Cold Steel "Paradox X"

A good name for the knife/design, but to me, it defeated the other big plus for a balisong; namely one-handed operation.

Flippability aside, those were always the advantages to me, for balisongs: easy 1-handed opening and closing, and no real concerns of lock failure in use.

Miss the old Pacific Cutlery balisong. Lost it a long time ago (and yes, flipping them was the OG fidget spinner . Yes, I was the dumbass in the group who went, “Whoa… that’s Jeff Imada!”, when we went to the opening night for Big Trouble In Little China ).
