Bump
(Yes, I know, it's old, but I figured I would bring it up again. I'm curious.)

Not into balis at all.They are farm tools to me and nothing more. Do not see the fascination with them. I know I will get flamed but so be it. Somebody asked.

It's not everyone's thing. I'm not into automatics. They're useless to me.

The original question was For those Who ARE interested in Balisongs. If you're not, you don't need to answer. Hahaha!

Sorry Doc. You are right. I shouldn't have commented. My bad. I actually have 35 balis presently but they will be sold today to 35 students at a martial arts studio. I tried one out and ended up with a sliced finger. Guess I deserved it for dissing balis. :D
