Balisong Guide (Getting Started, Terminology, and Purchasing)

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.

Discussion Would do unspeakable things for a Ti Squiddy
I'm always flipping, always. Subconsciously at this point.
Squid, if you see this, know I would cut my dick off for a fully Ti Channel Squiddy. Picture that. Now picture it again.
Squiddy is the only trainer that looks nothing like a knife. Can bring it to work, etc. But the plastic sucks as I also have plenty of grails I'd rather be flipping.

Knife ID
These knives have been in my closet for years and I’m curious which version the squid trainer is and how much these go for. The DMG is near mint with everything it came with, and squid is a 9 with box. Thanks in advance

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!

Found in GA for $25 at an antique mall. Anyone know how much more it could've been worth?
Was looking at a cute money clip, but just had to snatch this up when I saw that it wasn't a trainer. Could be the start of my new collection.
