P345:
Owning allot of Balisongs, I picked up a Spyderfly knock-off that I had to have to compare to all the others I manipulate. It's different than all others and feels a little too light for me. The positive locking latch is nice if you carry yours in your front pants pocket next to 'Wally' as most Balis come open which could be perilous. All mine are 'latchless' as I sport them in a horizontal sheath. As a normal pocket knife (even in California) I have a clip-on Spyderco Meer Cat serrated. I've used this knife for 6 years, cut everything and anything and it looks brand new. Spydercos are definitely worth every penny you spend for them, ... but I can't see carrying a Spyderfly unless you really work with it for defense purposes, ... it's overkill for regular pocketknife duty, and if you really want a Balisong that's a good value, yet you won't cringe too much if Johnny Law gets hold of it, ... A Jaguar or Bear Balisong hits the spot! (Jaguars are my favorite!)
Well, ... that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Best of luck with your new choice.
