First off people might want to check the law in your state closely on balisong knifes. I hear that some states are OKay with this style knife if the knife is in a pouch supplied by the manufacter. I don't always keep my BM42 in the pouch but have it in the event I think it wise to place the knife into it.
Also I much enjoy tossing my balisong around when waiting for whatever then tiddling my thumbs.
I know if Spyderco makes a balisong knife it will be of the same high quality as the rest of the Spyderco line.
Note Have you checked out the new Benchmade model 31 with a clip? I hear mixed feelings on the length (being shorter then say a model 42 or 43).

If Spyderco did a bali I might bite, IF...the blade is 2" or so. If I can't carry it in CA then I will not buy it. Spyderco is really the leader in making 2" blades that seem like much larger blades, though I would foresee a Spydiebali as having a thinner blade than, say, the Salsa due to design.
I would not consider a balisong as a trick knife for Rambo wannabes. Actually, IMO a good balisong COULD make an awesome user knife which, when held open, is basically impossible to shut on your hand. Although requiring tight tolerances to make well, the mechanism overall seems fairly simple and extremely strong. Just like any type of knife, it's only as "evil" as the mind of the user.
I think a small (maybe 4" closed?) model with semi-wide spear-point, 1 7/8" blade with SS handles for handle weight, may be a good idea. For those who want a large one, have a larger one, too...but I would only consider the smaller one for myself.

Sal, can you give us an approximate price, size, and steel? Thanks. Will it be ready within two years or is there any way of telling?
