I have been buying genuine balisong knives manufactured in the Philippines since the 1980s. There is a degree of authenticity in the craftsmanship that the slicker mainstream balisong knives have never managed to replicate. This is a marvelous knife. It is true to the traditional methods of manufacture, while being a modern interpretation of a very old design. The little cap-lifter in the blade is adorable, as well as functional. This is a large, hefty knife and delightful. Like all authentic balisongs, it does require a "break in" period, as it does not immediately perform like a ball-bearing balisong.
Couldn't ask for a better knife at this price. No blade wobble, super sharp and when this thing snaps open it gets attention!
Well constructed. I'm happy.
Great knife for the price and even for a bigger price for that matter. Knife wasn’t super sharp out of the box but sharpened right up. The Damascus is beautiful and really makes the knife a conversation piece.
Excellent value, you guys delivered again!
I didn't know what I was expecting when I bought this. I was surprised at the durability, the ease of using, and the length of the blade. I was very impressed and will be getting my next one here!
Got this for my mother for a random gift. She really liked it and it makes me feel a little more at ease when she's out grocery shopping by herself on occasion.
For the money these are hard to beat. Really enjoying this lil gem of a knife!
Thank you folks at Lightning!!
Fortunately I've not had to use it...yet- but it snaps quickly and loudly! I think it will be most effective is I ever need to deploy it.
I wear bib overalls and work around my farm all the time depending on the situation you can't always reach your knife in your pocket or on your side this fits right up in my bed pocket it's very lightweight the blades are scalpel blades so they're always sharp if not throw it away and put another one on. This is an absolutely wonderful life that you don't have to even worry about trying to touch and close the blade very lightweight very wonderful knife. Chet the chicken man
I would wanted them to be a bit thicker. But it is a solid product. No buyers remorse.
This is a beautiful piece. Wonderful hand craftsmanship. Really glad I was able to grab this piece.
Fits on belt out of the way. Quick deployment to make short work of those annoying amazon boxes/bags.
It needed polishing of the handle. The handle is not loose enough for free action. I would give it 4 1/2 stars if it would be an option.
Good price. Relatively light weight. Good price, but everything should come with free shipping. Would be better if the sides were polished like the top.
I wasn't much of a comb guy until I saw this. An immediate buy, satisfying to use and that lovely "ding" it makes when it retracts
This knife is the product of Russian reverse engineering of a German knife. The fit and finish are good, no play in the blade when opened, but it doesn't fire with the authority of a German springer. The lever doesn't have the same tension as its' German cousin but for half the price of a Hubertus, all in all it ain't bad.
The Balisong is very nice add to my knife collection
Nice, solidly built knife. Doesn’t fit my AK, but I’ll keep it in case I need to stab a ****.
Really nice knife with great action. I am very pleased with this purchase.
Great knife. Solid and good weight feel to it..The only issue I had is the blade was basically dull, not sharp at all.
This is the second brass pen style bali I've bought. I use mine for a letter opener on my desk. This one is a gift for my brother in law. Super cool handmade balis. Buy one
