New Kid on the block. BOSS
Well some may and other may not have heard there is a new company making Balisongs in the market. The company is BOSS and thier Bali is the Cheetah. Made by the same person that made the Microtech Tachyon, and Dragonfly. The Cheetah is a knock off to the third degree. Made for the market that couldn't afford $100.00-$300.00 for the design. The knife is the same size as the Two Microtechs same and the same Handle and blade style. The first generation of knives only come in silver or black with plain blade or 1/2 serated blade. I've seen them priced between $15-$25.00.

Borrowing heavily from his design, Mike Turber's Cheetah is the best value in the butterfly knife market today.
I received my Cheetah and started flipping asap. First thing I noticed it needed some breaking in because the pin's didn't seem to allign properly with the handle groves. The other complaint I have is the loose blade during swinging. While locked open or closed the blade is tight. Also would it be asking to much to add a little thread lock to the screws that hold this thing together? I've said this about my Dragonfly and it holds true with the Cheetah this knife is a small flipper and if you have larger hands it isn't easy to work. If you want a larger Bali to throw around I'd recomend a Jaguar M4 which is a copy of the Benchmade 42. If you have your mind made up on a Dragonfly I'd say try the Cheetah first.

Bigg I would say my Dragonfly was well worth the $95.00 I paid for it. It's well built, sharp as a razor, swings perfect and fast. The only issue I have with it is the size during swinging it's smaller than most others. I think some of the draw to it is it's tactical design. The quality is what you would expect from MT.
