      @@wake777 Dude, it's less than $40 with shipping, what do you expect? Also these knives are pretty tough, people treat the knives like trash and then they end up breaking. Give some care and thought it may last up to a year or more surprisingly. And to note some Bear & Sons knives (particularly Bear OPS in this case), are amazing, like the B-800.

      @@bluestscrew7833 actually my friend has a bear ops b400, that thing is kind of a tank and it flips pretty dang well too. its still worth investing in a more expensive balisong imo for flipping and durability. i had a squid trainer a bit ago and for $150 it would not break, and i beat it.

I think they are press fit correct? anyways would i need to remove whole bite handle to get the latch? or is there a specific/easier way i could remove it? If any 1 has answers to any of these questions please let me know. Thank u to all who help me out

    The shear quantity of the pieces being produced and the way they were thrown around, just make the knives look/seem meaningless to me.

      I kind of had the opposite reaction. With the way automation is heading I thought it was endearing how much humans were involved in the process, especially given that the factory is located in a first world country. Also, I think there is a certain appeal to mass produced objects of thoughtful economical design and a fair price. Not saying that is necessarily the case in this example, but in general.

    Seeing the bandaid on the guy’s finger at the end certainly shows the filming of that final part wasn’t perfect

    These knifes are dopes. Machine made, and nothing but replicas. Wanna see the Real Balisong knife? The Legendary Balisong Knives of Batangas, Philippines where Butterfly Knives are made by Man's Bearhands. Honest But Deadly Blades that are made from truck's leaf springs, engine blocks, bearings and more. A real blade that been Forged by man. Thru Anvil and a hammer.

    This is very cool, however, I prefer the Filipino made ones more. This is pretty cool to see though.
