Worth buying
The entire knife works well it is good to play around with a great practice knife so that you won’t get hurt with a sharp one.The only problem is that there are 2 metal pieces sticking out on both sides preventing it from fully closing.Overall the knife is worth buying.

Awesome For the Price, but Not Perfect
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I am a brand new balisong flipper and was looking for something pretty and inexpensive to start learning on. My friend bought this for me and so far I am loving it. There are definite downsides to buying one so cheap, but for the most part, as an inexperienced flipper, it's been well worth the saved money. The knife is very sturdy and has been through many drops to concrete already, after only five days without falling apart or even showing any dents or dings. From what I understand, over time, any knife, cheap or expensive will begin to show wear, but given what I've put this one through so far, I'm surprised it isn't already looking beat.That said, the handles are very rickety and there is a lot of play which can make it difficult to control the momentum of the knife (I might be able to fix this by tightening the screws, but I don't have the correct type of screw driver to try it - having screws instead of pins is another plus, though, for anyone who does have the tool to do their own tune ups). Additionally, the latch has a tendency to flop around and get in the way during tricks, and having the pocket clip on the safe handle rather than the bite handle can be a little inconvenient and interfere with your grip during tricks.Still, it's fairly comfortable to use for a beginner who hasn't experienced better knives, and the look of it is really pretty. Also, the training edge is harsh, but not sharp enough to do any cutting damage, which is perfect for encouraging you to do better without being too punishing in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend this for someone who is used to better balisongs, but for a beginner who is looking to get a taste before spending bigger money, I think it's a great choice. I've attached a video of me doing the few tricks I have managed to learn after about 1-2 hours a day of practice for fives days, as well as demonstrating the play in the handles and the floppy latch.
