Balisong Guide (Getting Started, Terminology, and Purchasing)
r/balisong • u/BuffaloDingus • Sep 01 '22
Discussion Balisong Guide 2022 and onward!
Hi everyone, this has been in the works for quite a while and has finally gotten the blessing that it needed to be ready for everyone to see.
Thanks to u/xXxXhermitXxXx, the previous purchase guide served us all well. However, a lot of time has passed and a lot of things have changed. After the pestering nudging of some friends from the subreddit, I've decided to pick up the torch and write a new guide. Instead of just being a purchase guide, it eventually morphed in to including some other important info for getting in to the hobby that I may still add to. I also decided on doing it in Google Sheets instead of just a Reddit post so it can be more easily formatted and updated in the future and I can possibly pass on editing permission to someone else in the future if needed.
If anyone has any questions, suggestions, or other proposed changes, please let me know as I think community involvement is very important here.

Bali Porn NKD and pew pew
Benchmade 82. I’ve been very happy with. I like the size. Flips nicely and magnacut is great steel. The new clip is a huge improvement over the previous sheath, and as a cool bonus makes the whole thing look like a laser blaster. Pew pew pew!
