decent bali under 70 USD ?

[224477]

Can anyone advise a decent balisong which can be obtained for less than 70 USD?
I would prefer something in 3-3.5 blade range.

Links or pics are very welcome.

I guess this is a hard one lol... :p :D

Thanks in advance.

Is the Smallfly on the Horizon?

If you're willing to go up to 4 inches there's the Typhoon and Tsunami.

You'd have to assemble and 'fine tune' it yourself though.

:spyder: Spyderco balis willl be LEO only. Nobody's happy about it. Under a hunderd's tough, save yer pennies my friend. :spyder:

The Bali situation is pretty grim in the US. I have given up on getting one.

Firstly there is no good bali for $70

You can still pick up a Spyderfly for about a $100

Or just save some money and buy a Bm 42

The Smallfly might come close to filling your needs. It will be LEO and military only over here, but, as you live outside of the U.S., you may be able to get one--I am unsure how Spyderco is going to handle non-U.S. demand for these items. To the best of my knowledge, selling these overseas would not be prohibited by the Custom's ruling/Assistant United States Attorney opinion that caused Spyderco to pull its civilian domestic sales of such knives. Price point overseas, if it is offered there, might be high.

If you look at knifezilla they have a lot of bad ones but the "classic" ones are really cheap and after use the handles get pretty loose but they are really light and fun to flip around. If they have the all-silver one (not mungo) then get that one. It was my first bali and I loved it up until the day I gave it to a friend. I plan on getting the black one in the near future. They are $20 and really easy to learn on. I definately suggest getting one until you have enough money to get , dare I say it, a Benchmade 42 :eek:
