All About Pocket Knives

Does anyone know of a Balisong/butterfly knife set, that comes with a training balisong, and a real one? I want to learn how do do the tricks, and for some reason I think if I bought 2 separate knifes there would possibly be a weight difference. Where if there was a set containing both they should be about the same weight. I don't even know if the "weight" would make a difference or not.

I can't help with your questions W.B., since there doesn't seem to be a big interest in bali's on this site, but check back cuz someone with answers will eventually see your post! to AAPK, BTW!

I have never heard of a "training" balisong. Can't be very hard to learn, a friend's young teenagers have mastered them with real ones.

A "training" bali is simply one with a false blade, round edges, unsharpened, perhaps even made of plastic Gene, so it can be flipped around without fear of cutting one's self while learning how to "flip".

A lot of Company's make the trainer Bear & sons makes a nice one that I gave my granddaughter to practice .

Dang, whodathunkit!! I have never seen such a thing, I suppose it may be a good idea but having seen many young 'uns learn with real ones I guess it never crossed my mind.

If you go to www.dhgate.com (it's safe!) Gene, and search "Balisong knives" 95% that are listed are "trainers" and you can see them first-hand!
