Balisong Guide (Getting Started, Terminology, and Purchasing)
r/balisong • u/BuffaloDingus • Sep 01 '22
Discussion Balisong Guide 2022 and onward!
Hi everyone, this has been in the works for quite a while and has finally gotten the blessing that it needed to be ready for everyone to see.
Thanks to u/xXxXhermitXxXx, the previous purchase guide served us all well. However, a lot of time has passed and a lot of things have changed. After the pestering nudging of some friends from the subreddit, I've decided to pick up the torch and write a new guide. Instead of just being a purchase guide, it eventually morphed in to including some other important info for getting in to the hobby that I may still add to. I also decided on doing it in Google Sheets instead of just a Reddit post so it can be more easily formatted and updated in the future and I can possibly pass on editing permission to someone else in the future if needed.
If anyone has any questions, suggestions, or other proposed changes, please let me know as I think community involvement is very important here.

Bali Porn Machinewise SlifTori and SeTori
When I first got my SlifT (w/ a Serif blade), all that was on my mind was whether or not this blade swap would work. Then at BSW26, I was presented the opportunity to snag a Tottori. Lo and behold, both of these configs work flawlessly.
Also had the opportunity to let Ethan (Blade Bias) try these out at Blade and his initial thoughts on the SlifTori were: "Why does this work so well?!?!!" And "I have to try this when I get back" :)
Disclaimer: Machinewise themselves do not certify these configs due to some potential issues. But my current configs work flawlessly.

How is my knife
I 3d printed her and am having a blast but I would like some help on how I can fix some problems. Firstly is there anything I can use in place of the rubber bands. They are the only thing i saw that works. I don’t want to buy actual metal screws and bolts and I don’t have heavy duty glue to 3d print some. I also have a problem with the crossbars that prevent it from bending while open staying in. This is a much smaller problem and it’s only happened once in the month I’ve had it. Any tips is greatly appreciated.

Bladeshow West
HUGE thanks to everyone who helped make the last Bladeshow West (for a while) awesome! From a sold out table, to meeting tons of amazing new people, this was one of my favorite Bladeshows yet. I’m super grateful for all the positive feedback I received on the Flagship, and all the machining tips I learned. This weekend was really encouraging to me from a business standpoint, and I’m now even more motivated to make knives!
Next up… my first Bladeshow Texas and lots of prototyping!
