Good cheap balisongs (butterfly knives)

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

I'm trying to find a good, sturdy (but relatively cheap) balisong, but the ones I've been seeing fall apart pretty easily. Does anyone know of any good balisongs? If you could add a link it would be very helpful.

Have you tried 888knivesrus.com? They're a bit pricey though, at least depending on what you think is cheap and expensive.

 

Also, are you limiting yourself to ONLY Balisong butterfly knives, or to any other kind of butterfly knives?

Well theres this one store at my local mall that sells knives,and butterfly knives too.I just bought a new one there because my other butterfly knive was falling apart.So my advice is to go to a knife store.Then ask one of the employes to see if they would let you interact,and touch the butterfly knives.Because not all butterfly knives arent made with the same metal/alloy metal.You can see wich ones are tough and strong by pressing both of the handles to see if the handles bend or not.The new hard,sturdy butterfly knife I got was $26.

I've been to quite a few shops where they sell knives, but I haven't seen a single butterfly knife. I think it's illegal to sell balisongs in Louisiana but I'm not sure.I should probably ask my dad (He works for NOPD), but that's why I'm looking online. Edited March 8, 2013 by Artemis
