This is where you start selling off some of your collection, preferably to International buyers with verified paypal

Jokes on me eh?

I would recommend something completely new and different!

all joking aside, for $250 I would save a bit more and pick up a used Sebbie or Strider!

+1, keep an eye on the trading forums, you're bound to find something that triggers your interest sooner or later!

(p.s we still cant access your photos, so dont know what you have and dont have)

Some specifics on what features you like or prefer would help. There are a lot of knives that you can buy that are priced under $250. There would be too many knives to list. So to help us help you, try to give us some details on what you might like:

Fixed, folder, balisong, automatic, etc?
Blade shape?
Blade size?
Blade Grind?
Steel or steel characteristics preference?
types of cutting jobs you'll be doing (materials, uses ie self defense, etc)?
handle material?
handle length?
If a folder, lock type?
opening method?
Anything else you think we should know?

Having a nickname as BALISONGLOVER and having linked a gallery we can check out... all I can say is that we have no idea what kind of knives you are into so we can make an educated suggestion. All we know is you like balisongs.

You need to upload them to...lets say... www.imageshack.us. Then just copy/paste the code that the server provides in your post. That should do the trick.

Close but not quite that. You need to provide the link FOR EVERY PICTURE not for the whole gallery, because you are the only one who can see it whole. Instead of watching it in the modern way, look for a button on the right colum that reads CLASIC VIEW and click on it. You will see a number of dialog boxes just by every picture. Choose the first one (the one that reads FORUMS) and paste that here.

Yes sir, way better now. As I imagined you are mostly into balisongs. I am afraid I have no experience in that field. I never owned one so I can't give you any suggestions. I think that Benchmade makes a few of those. Given the reputation of that brand, seems reasonable to think that their quality will be great.
