I have always said, that the importers are very sensitive to what people are saying about the knives they import. I don't even know for sure, who imports butterfly knives, and they want it that way. But when people complained about the hollow pins being junk, it was not to long before solid pins began to shop up in the butterfly knives.
But now it seems like everyone is complaining about everything except for the Taiwan made knives. I just checked with one of my suppliers and that is all they stock now, is the Taiwan made Butterfly Knife. They are offering a fantastic price on it, but still there is not much selection available.
There are a lot of butterfly knives available, made in Korea and China, but the big boys are just not taking a chance on them anymore, and I think it's because people are setting their standards to high and wanting to good of a quality knife.
Yes, the Taiwan is the best for people who want to flip it around a lot, and the price on it is fantastic. But a lot of other knives that may not be as solid and last as long, are still interesting and would make wonderful additions to people collections. But I think your going to see less and less of them, because they just don't hold up as well under a lot of use.
At this point about all we can do, is hope they get there act together over in Taiwan, and start to produce some different styles and designs for those of us who want to have more than just one style of butterfly knife in our collection.
Maybe what we need to do, is get them to come up with another style or design on the Taiwan made knives.
So lets hear it, if you could have a chance to design a butterfly knive and have them build it in Taiwan, what would you want to seem them build for you?
I would like to see a slim line knife. Or perhaps some different sizes, like a 4" or even a 3" handle. For me a 3" handle Taiwan made knife would be Ideal, because I could crank those puppies out on Ebay. Also, they are legal to carry and people would not have to leave them at home. Then maybe we could start a trend of people who actually carry butterfly knives with them. Thanks, JohnR7 www.BalisongKnife.com
