Keep in mind that it will probably break quickly.

is much cheaper, and has very cheap shipping.

[butch]

kozak6 is right,if you dont put loctite on the screws they will losen very quickly and the knife will come apart.

[SniperStud]

are waves pretty durable knives? in general or should i get somehting else

[butch]

theyre great for fun but no theyre not very durable the master balisongs are built better but they will come apart too if you dont use loctite.

[SniperStud]

what are the master balisongs?

these have a variety of scale matierals and they are built better than the wave balisong knives but I still recomend using loc-tite on the screws.

Two options, Typhoon kit for around 70 bucks or a Benchmade 42.
Anything else is a waste of money if you want a durable balisong.

[butch]

Id go with the benchmade myself,its pricey but worth the $$$

[kozak6]

The Spyderco Spyderfly is also around $70, and is also supposed to be quite durable, but many feel it flips awkwardly.

[butch]

the thing I dont like about spyderflys aside from awkward flipping is that it doesnt lock open.
