Does anyone here flip balisongs? It's something I started recently, and it's a lot of fun.
About a month ago I bought my first balisong, a cheap ($35) Bear & Son Cutlery "Black Armor Piercing Butterfly". It has a 4" tanto blade and 5" cast handles with a black epoxy powder coat.
I've been flipping it quite a bit since then and have learned most of the basic tricks (such as the horizontal and vertical openings, latch drop, quick draw, icepick spin, Y2K rollover, and the moves performed by the spy in TF2).
I'm continuing to learn, and just worked on learning the basic aerial tonight, which I now can do correctly around 25% of the time.
I bought the cheap $35 Bear balisong because I wasn't sure if it was something that I would enjoy. Well, I'm now hooked, and have just bought a Bradley Kimura V (around $100) which will hopefully get here sometime next week.
It's supposed to be a huge step up in quality over the Bear, and I can't wait to see it for myself.
So are there any other SRRP members into balisongs?
