I quite like the simpler ones.

That's exactly how I feel. I didn't even want a "Rambo" bali.

I carry a Victorinox Huntsman for when I need to open a bottle!

Mang Ona is a great guy and a real Batangueno barako! He's in great health for his age too--I think he's in his late 60s! Going to have him make me a matching pair of custom balisongs with clips soon.

It might just be the kopeng barako, but I can almost smell the jeep and trike exhaust when I look at this thread!

Yeah, I'm not too enthused about stainless blades. They're okay for EDC folding knives, but even in balisong knives I'd probably want ball bearing/carbon steel of some sort if I wanted one. They'r illegal here so there'd be no use in me having a Balisong for every day carry though.

He looks like one of my uncles, except my uncle is in his early 50's

(also, did you get my e-mail?)

I don't EDC anything stainless aside from my Nalgene and my SAK.

I replied to your last e-mail last night.
