Maybe if you manage some kind of herb garden, since it's a foraging blade, and you want a bali style knife to cut the stems. Other than that I really can't see a purpose for it.

Yeah I have held a lot of them. Jared west of Mantis Knives, kind of messed up when deciding which side the latch should go on.

I personally don't like it, too much money for what it is.

looks pretty cool. most balisongs aren't designed to be utility knives so this may be good for some people. looks to be quite sturdy.

IDK I never really liked the karambit style blade but as far as quality goes it looks like it might be alright.

Got one of these awhile ago. It's nice just to say you got the original "balibit", but other than that I honestly can't recommend it to anyone. It's absolutely horrible as a bali (as I'm sure you could have guessed), and it's double the price it would be as a regular folder/fixed karambit. The quality/ fit and finish is great, and it just feels awesome in hand, but for $80? Wouldn't do it again.

I have seen this flipped before. Not a good flipper its pretty small (if you know the size of karambit knives its about the same size). Very cool thing to have tho for a collector i guess.
