Due to the varying state (and international) laws regarding the sale/possession of balisongs, we will not be able to pursue a drop for these at this time. It is possible that we could do a drop for these at a later date though.
Thanks for voting!
Just so people don't get the wrong info...all the 60 models from Benchmade are NOT Titanium.
The 60's have the same overall design as the 40 models(which were always praised by everyone and had Titanium Handles) but they are D2 Steel Blades with Stainless Steel handles,which not only makes them corrosive,but also makes them quite heavier than most Balisongs.
P.S:The 51 Handles are G-10 Scales but with Titanium Liners
So, the Benchmade isn't going to happen due to their policies about not allowing their knives to be sold for significantly less than MSRP, and the Bradley Kimura is discontinued.. So, looks like the Tach 2.
I may be wrong but I believe that their policy is to not allow sites to *advertise* at significantly less than MSRP.
On an unrelated note I owned a http://www.benchmade.com/products/32 for a while and would highly recommend it or the 51. Also one may think the spring latch could be more of a gimmick but I loved it.
I urge people not to vote for the damascus clone from exiled cutlery. They are poor-quality chinese knives that have been imported and resold with no quality assurance and no customer service.
Switchblades aren't legal in Washington state, but I don't know about butterfly knives. Anyone know better than I do?
EDIT: They're illegal in Washington. They're classified as switchblades, which actually aren't illegal in that many states (though they have regulations). Unfortunately, it is here.
Be careful about your state/country if you want to buy these.
Philippines- Generally illegal/licence
Australia- Need a liscence
Canada- Banned
UK- Legal to own, but not sell/import
Switzerland-Banned
Germany-Banned
U.S.
-California, no carry
-Hawaii, banned
-New Jersey, "suggests balisongs are illegal but the question of legality or illegality is an open question"
-New York, legal (surprisingly)
-Oregon, no concealment, but otherwise legal
Take note this is just what's listed on Wikipedia, always check that your state/country allows them prior to purchase. Also, look for the most recent law regarding weapons. Texas just legalized Balisongs in 2013, and many forums still say they are illegal.
