I have a Benchmade balisong. I've actually learned some cool tricks, but after sharpening it to my standards, I gave up on the tricks. There is no future in it.Got a Benchmade 62 BaliSong today as a Christmas gift. D2 steel. Pretty cool but I'm not coordinated enough for these jewels. I'll stick with the Infidel.
Buy a Squid Industries trainer, or put some layers of tape on the edge of your BM62. Safe handle is the one without the latch.Got a Benchmade 62 BaliSong today as a Christmas gift. D2 steel. Pretty cool but I'm not coordinated enough for these jewels. I'll stick with the Infidel.
Thanks. I agree.That’s a really good looking little knife!

I taped the edge of my balisong for practice. I'm very secure doing the standard openings now so I'm good now with the edge un taped and a proper sharp edge on it. When I had the blade taped I was doing some of the roll overs and noted how I would have cut myself very easily several times. I like having the blade un taped so that I can actually use it. I may at some point tape the edge again to play with the fancy tricks. A knife that you can't use except for tricks is a yo yo.Absolutely!! I have a Squiddy as well and it beats the cuts and all. But anyone who dabbles in the balisong should definitely get a trainer. I also have a BRS Barebones that is one of my favorites! Will post pics soon.
An old Victorinox Weekender or Spartan, couldn’t figure out the exact model. Redid scales in mahogany, right side is thicker so the corkscrew is flush. Cross and ruler are bone inlays.
