Oct 2, 1998 · It would be a fallacy, then, to say "My rostfrei bali was of low quality" and then infer that others labeled "rostfrei" would be of similar quality. This would be similar to claiming that, say, a cheap United Cutlery folder with a blade of 420J2 stainless is equal in quality to a Spyderco in CPM440V stainless because "both are stainless."

Nov 27, 1999 · On a lark, I bought the first balisong offered on the bladeforums auction. It was a cheap Rostfrei China and I didn't expect much. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm still banging that thing around practically every day. The edge is crap, but he handles are reasonably tight, lock up well, the pins are holding up well, the joints move well.

Oct 15, 1999 · I can open my cheapie, silver, half serrated, balisong in about .75 seconds +/- .05 seconds using the basic horizontal opening. My fastest is still my Buck Crosslock, that thing is SUPER fast, I would easily compare it to the speed of a switchblade (just an outward flick of the thumb on one of the studs) or faster.
