Flick Red Balisong Butterfly Knife - Satin Plain

Good for learning tricks before buying a more expensive one

Let's face it! For ten bucks you are not going to get a Benchmade or a Bradly. This is a $10 knife from China, but it is very attractive and fun to play with and just to have hanging around on your desk. I own a great number of Balisongs, most of them of high quality that are made for flipping and to last. This one is for a beginner to play with but serious flipping is not on the list of its attributes. It will break given a very hard life. If you take care of it, it should start you out in the game. I bought this knife because I like the finish, which is very attractive in red speckle enamel. If you want a serious knife, don't look for one on the $10 counter. If you want a starter or just an attractive desk ornament, you can't go wrong here.

This was a great knife, and it lasted a few months. The handle snapped after hitting a carpeted floor, though I did abuse it a lot. the "mirror" polish was shotty and bad, horrible I'd say, but the blade itself was good, just weak handles.

This is the 2nd knife i have bought like this. I agree that they are very cheaply made and they do break after constant use but for me they work fine for casual flipping nothing extreme. Nice to learn on if you aren't interested in a trainer. Flips easily out of the box and not sharp at all out of the box but that's probably a good thing.

i was hoping that when it said the handles were stainless it would hold up rather well but it hasn't even lasted me 2 hours and i was doing idle fliping watching hulu and one of the handles just snaped off.

This is a very skinny knife i would say the perfect flipping knife is between the flip and scoundrel. if you want a knife thats not sharp at all get this but if you want a knife that can actually cut and can flip eh then get a scoundrel its great for the price.

I had this knife for about two weeks and its already broken. I was doing some tricks and somehow the handle just broke off. I tried putting tape on it but now it wont close. Its a good knife but breaks too easily!
