  • Oh, if Benchmade made this it’d be $600, for sure. Just look at the chuzpah they have for what they charge for the Necron if you need an example, and that doesn’t even have a latch.

    heh, figures. can trust in the butterfly to overcharge their wares

    I have no idea what the universal fascination is with states and countries trying to ban balisong knives

    tell me about it. my country even consider the classic sd as an offense. silly circus over here. there’s some wording about “unless with proper reasoning” but good luck arguing with an LEO.

    still though, I’m fascinated by balisongs. I should try and get any one somehow and just play in my home.



  • As a weird knife lover, thank you for covering this knife.

    It is absolutely amazing yo see spyderco taking on this intricately and over engineered Janich design and put it to market. I love spyderco for that, despite them running sprint tuns of the same knives with different ingredients over and over. I guess that does fund for fun stuff like this

    I’ve stared at your deploying gif for minutes and it still doesn’t make sense to me. Probably would make more sense if I ever had a balisong to compare I assume.

    I assume them going with washers for the pivot is an attempt to discourage and prolong the need to take the knife apart should it get too gunked up. Having free ball bearing is just such a spyderco move. looks at smock additional free bearing secondary lock

    Would love to get this in my country but it being a balisong, and kind of gravity knife would make it ultra illegal lol

    If I ever can get one this probably would be a safe queen or home cardboard muncher

    I have to wonder though what would the price be if this is made in their Colorado plant. Just musing because the other USA insect brand would’ve charge double this for less intricate knife.
