New Bear Ops Trainer
I bought it in support of the community, based upon who designed it.
It is very good.

For those who want a trainer or cannot have a live Balisong, then this is for you. I cleaned and oiled it. I had to sand the blade and handles, though. I prefer smooth handles. If the live blade is any representation, this Bear Ops Balisong will make a solid EDC, as well as an excellent flipper. This one has bushings and PB washers so it's smoother than a 51. It's thicker and a smidge wider than a 51.
This will give a 51 a run for the money. It will put the nail in the coffin for the 53 and it will serve as a wakeup call for the Kimura line who only perpetuate the same 3 blades.
