Andux Folding Stainless Steel Lightweight with Replacement Screws (Black-Silver)

This is the second balisong ive bought from this company and i must say im impressed of overall performance. I bought the orange version over 8 months ago and its still going strong after excessive use and abuse. I just bought a second one in black and im even more impressed, it now comes with replacement bearings and screws for knife.Performance - Ive been flipping balisongs for a while now and and this is an excellent knife for the price. There is play in the handles but nothing that isnt manageable. The flipping action is smooth but takes a while to break in, it will come a little stiff but after some flipping will loosen up and perform well.Hardware - The hardware is subpar, but that is to be expected at this price, DO NOT USE the allen wrench that is provided you will strip your screws and never be able to work on this knife again. All screws will need to be removed and Loctite will need to be applied, or you will have screws fall out on sooner than later.Build Quality - Overall very good, the G10 scales can take a beating and still look sharp, ive dropped this on concrete numerous times and it still performs as well as before.My opinion- There is only one other knife that competes with this and its the Squiddy from Squid Industries, it flips better and carries its weight better for rollovers and Chaplins. However, it is plastic and you have to decide if you want this as a toy or something where your training for a live blade, the weight difference is definitely felt when switching between the two. I highly recommend this knife!

It comes tight and after playing with it for a bit the feel is on point. Only things to note are the handles are kinda short but that’s just me and my big hands. It’s got a nice sound when you flip it plus it’s easy to catch. I can say that the handles counter weight is a lil weird and they didn't send a tool to remove it but i could buy the screw driver and remove it myself which isn’t a big problem. Hande’s comfy and is super good quality. It rarely pinches and has no unwanted play right out of the box. I suggest you don’t take out the screws and hust use it as is

They made some kinda odd decissions here, but overall a solid trainer. If you're looking for your first trainer this is it!What I didn't like is they left maching dust in the bearing recesses, shipped it with plastic bearings in it, but then gave you brass replacements (kinda odd?) didn't lubricate the bearings, and epoxied, not threadlocked, but epoxied the pivot pins. I got one pin out but had to drill out the other. Major pain to do so.If you manage to get the pins out, clean the parts, swap the bearings to the others they give you, lube it, and loctite the pins this is a near perfect trainer especially at the price point. Just weird that they were so, so close to perfect and then fell short on minor stuff. The machining and overall construction is actually really good.

I've had alot of Balis in my lifetime. Much experience with these knives, trust my opinion.I was looking for something for my wife has recently become more intrested and I wanted her to have a nice one aswell as not get cut.I didnt want to get her one that will break as soon as it drops or unscrew after a few tricks.This trainer truly impressed me for the price I paid for it.The hardware washers has bearings in them which I've only seen in the $300 plus balis.Very light and easy to flip, very sturdy and great construction.I also found a fingerprint on it which proved to me that this was hand crafted and not heavily manufactured on a line.The smallest inconvenience was one of the screws was the right size for the alan wrench it just might have been tightened too much because the teeth did not hold in the wrench and turned without resistance to unscrew.Also all screws were sealed with loctite and I like it when I dont have to do it myself.Very satisfied, 7 out of 5 stars. Will probably buy 2 more, for neice and nephew or just for myself.

Fantastic balisong at a great price. Probably the best you can get in this price range. I highly recommend especially for new flippers.
