Hi everyone,

I want to hear about your most impractical balisong, that you love nonetheless! This is not a slam thread, rather a "I love it even so" thread.

What makes it impractical? That my friends is up to you; perhaps it is too expensive to flip, too large to carry, or too illegal!!

Of course, pictures are appreciated!

PEACE

well i just got two new additions to my collection as you guys know and thay are a little expensive but " i love them so". a 29 and the 49-01 are nice but too nice to carry in my pocket.

I have one that's made by Ukranian prisoners. Very crude, and doesn't flip. But the idea that someone in prison made it just gives me a weird sense of irony.

I suppose that my bali-sword is my most impractical. I also have many balis that I have put aside just to collect and have never flipped. :( If you own a knife and don't use it, does that make it impractical?

very impracticle... i flip both of my balis atleast once a day:p... how does the bali-sword perform anyway? i only have an origional phillipino balisong thats VERY OLD and one of the new silver dragon ones... however im getting a jaguar classic VERY soon... all of this is VERY difficult though, living in canada and all... dumb laws...

Wooden balisong. Wooden blade, handles, and latch.

I've only seen em though.:)

lol... WOW

ive seen a ciramic one before too... Both of these are very impractical indeed... for i cant see the wooden one acting as anything other then a stake and im sure a ciramic one would shatter during a routine...

made in china bali,1/4" stock 5" blade,some type of painted metal handles.It looks SOOOOO bad,very tough ,mean look'n knife,execpt it weighs like 2 lbs.Very impracticle,hurts the knuckles.

:)...I suppose the most impractical types I have are Baliswords.., and one especially. I'm at work.., but I think the overall length is 49" (maybe 47"?).., but it's got to weigh 5 1/2 lbs.+ 0]

Very impractical..., but I got it many years ago in the Philippines.., and I do like some of the native woods from the Islands.

Sniper-Boy has one that is a hair over 5 feet long if I'm not mistaken.., and I've never seen one bigger than that.

This one under the 42 is really impractical; It doesn't flip or cut, it just stand there looking like a bali...

My little impractical bali (http://digilander.libero.it/balisong/images/000_0053.jpg)

I posted a link because I don't know how big the pic would come out. Check it if you wish.

im sure you could get it to flip somehow...

and about baliswords... anyone got pictures of thier ones? like the 5 foot long one that sniper-boy has... a picture of that would be really cool to see...

ALL of my balis are "impractical" as I work in NM where they're "illegal " -- so they're stored in Arizona!!!!! AZ is my "permanent legal residence". Hope that gets me off the hook !! :)

lol... whats a lil mistamienor here and there:p... try living in canada where they can bust you for having a SAK in your pocket... aka CONCEALED WEAPON... argh... canadian laws make my collection limited and such... which i find to be foolish... for the knife is infact a very interesting tool...

i guess my most impractical balisong the little fhm i have it's only 2.125" long open with a 1.00" carbon steel clip point blade, it has alluminum handles with black plastic inserts, i've had it over 15 years. my wife used to wear it as a earring when we fisrt started dating.:D
