I find that hard to believe.

It seems that most, if not the entire Jaguar line of balisongs is composed of Benchmade or PCC ripoffs.

Chances are, that's what you are seeing.

Well at least now I got some brand names to watch for. I'm thinking most all these are going to be cheapos, but they had a LOT of cheapos! I'm hoping to find something to play with that isn't total junk.

i have been swirling these bad boys for a good twenty years now and love em. I'm ambidextrious so if i get a set that are equally balanced and have the same tension on the pivot pins then I can do one in each hand. My favorite is my benchmade. It has iodized handles for a perfect grip and it has a beautiful clip point blade. Been reading up on using them in martial arts and i am really impressed with it's versatility! It is a nice strike and defend weapon that I can use faster than a switch. Still have a long way to go before i can say i'm really good :D
