So I went to a flea-market on Sunday, and I got this! It's the first balisong I have added to my ever expanding blade collection. (even though I've used them many times before.)
So anybody wanna' link me to some cool tricks I can try?
Quit yer tomfoolery and begone!

Looks rather cheap, actually. Is it a quality bali or a cheap import model that is so common at swap meets? If it's the latter, expect its brittle construction to fall apart at the slightest provocation - a hazard if you intend to do any flipping tricks with it.
I do like knives, but not enough to start collecting them. I keep a budget liner-lock style pocket knife in the car, myself.

Yeah, it's not really a "cheap" balisong, just a lower end model (and at a low price of course). But I knew of the dangers of flipping a lower end model, so I made some drastic adjustments to it, such as replacing the pins to some stronger ones since the original ones were rather weak. I also modified the latch to have a spring at the base so it's now a spring latch. I think it can now withstand some major flipping with those adjustments. (it has channel style handle construction, so the handles shouldn't bend or break).
I do plan on getting a higher model balisong if I ever get the money for it. Thanks for the advice on the hazard.
