Bad Balisong, Awesome workhorse
So I bought this knife with a coated handle about 12 years ago. It was my first butterfly knife and I knew immediately that it was horribly off balance. BUT LETS TALK ABOUT WHY ITS OFF BALANCE. This blade is built like a tank. I used it as an EDC knife in Alaska and 3 or 4 years ago when Oklahoma legalized balisongs, it resumed its EDC status. It cut through plastics, cardboard, wood, against concrete, tile, and metal. I’ve used it like a pry-tool. A scraper. A slotted screwdriver. A hammer. The coating has started to chip but the blade has no chips and the tip is still intact. Hell. It’s still passably sharp and I’ve never taken it to a sharpener of any type. In short: This knife is not elegant. But it is one hell of a tool. Would buy again if it wasn’t still going strong.
