Best budget bali imo and I have tried a lot lol. -Baliplus BRS Replicant Tanto - somewhat heavy balisong and great for modding. You might need to put a lot of work to get it really good though lol. -TheOne CHAB - best overall but cost more. Most of the time, I heard it is perfect of the box and really good tolerances and grip. -Baliplus Kraken Tanto - kinda light but really good balisong. The only aluminum balisong that has good grip imo.

Appreciate your take on the subject and thanks for the video. I'm no expert by any means but my thoughts are, like with anything else 1) get what you can afford and don't feel bad for it 2) popular brands tend to be over priced (some are worth the price) because they know people will pay for the status symbols. These are all massed produced which saves money and the popular brands are selling their product at a very good markup because they know people will by them for the status. I've worked in manufacturing plants that made other types of products than knives but its the same principle, when its done with cnc machines its for a couple reasons 1) cost, over the long run it is cheaper to have one machine you pay for once and maintain than it is to have multiple employees who have benefits, expect raises and get paid overtime that do what one machine does 2) one machine can churn out part after part consistently the same in every asspect. Clones prove that these manufacturers dont need to be selling their knives for as high of a price as they do. Sometimes quality parts and materials may be a factor but the clones are starting to also prove that isnt necessarily true any longer.

A little more expensive, but the CHAB clone from TheOne is a solid option and a great balisong if you want one that will take a beating.

In my opinion sellers are taking advantage of the market. The hardware they are built cost under five bucks washers an bolts and want people to pay two hundred plus. Sadder they market fake blades at the same rate. I buy only cloneswhen it comes to trainers. Paying anything over sixty for a knife to just play wirh is dumb and thats why companys make them because they know people will buy into it. I like companys making plastic flippers for under 100. Makes more sense then asking for two hundred to just spin it around

S2g is a really good seller. You py a premium over ordering yourself from aliexpress but you get it ALOT faster. And they take the time to really try and put the right sized bushings in each one off the bat, ive gotten a few knives from them and all have been great. Got the frankenrep and it was awesome out of the box, i think they even loctited mine, since they are pre-assembling these using baliplus and theone parts. Theyre pretty good at tuning them decent before sending. I cant speak highly enough of them.
