Andux Balisong Butterfly Knife CNC 6063 Aluminum Handle Effective Bushing System Lock Free CNC3

The balisong is balanced really well, almost the right amount of handle bias (could be a bit more in my opinion), but it is way too light to be a decent flipper. Chaplins are extremely hard to keep going and rollovers also lose the balance really easily. The handles are also too slippery for anything besides the most basic tricks. Some texture or chamfering is much needed on the sides, but faces of the handles could use some modifying too. The handles also feel too thin and should be beefed up a little, besides, considering it is an aluminum balisong, it would help with solving the weight problem. The "bite side" indicator on the blade is decent, not too sharp, but lets you know when you have messed up. I'm also kinda impressed by the bushing system, didn't expect such good tuning from a knife in this price range. When tightened with full force, one handle wants to get stuck a bit but with the right tuning and some locktite to keep the screws from coming loose, the knife flips pretty well. Hardware is shit tho, almost as bad as the cheapest chinese knives. Nobody likes stripped screws:) Play is decent, no complaints about that and the tap seems to only develop when blade bends too much from dropping the knife. Pretty good tolerances, I would say. The knife came in the promised timeframe, had no problems with shipping.
So, all in all I think that when the weight problem is solved and the slipperyness dealt with, it would be the knife that I would recommend for everyone as their first flipper, right now it just doesn't cut it. Pictures taken around 2 weeks after the knife arrived.

The shipment took around 10 days (to Italy) and it's actually quick, the product contains spare hardware and the quality is excellent for the price, it has tang pins and channel handles, the aestethic is fantastic and it flips really good, for the price i recommend it expecially for beginners.

After owning dozens of balisongs like the triton v1 and having used a krake raken for a few days I ordered this on a gamble not expecting much. This bali is by far the best I've flipped and I choose this over the krake raken any day , it's a shame there's not more color options like red handles with black blade however this thing is amazing.

It came to me in less than a week and feels solid. If you are looking for a cheep and high quality Balisong trainer, this is the place.
