pretty dang good
"Just got this in the mail today. I'm quite happy with the weight and look of the blade. It's sturdier and heavier than I expected, which is a plus. The blade came pretty sharp, although MY blade not as pointy at the tip as it is sharp along the edge. Of course, a few minutes on the stone will fix that. The lock at the base is nice and tight, though I'm sure it'll loosen with use. In the same vein, the arm of the balisong that DOESN'T have the latch attached to it(the arm you would hold whilst flippin') is quite a bit tighter than the other; in other words, the blade tends to stick in the "close position" after one attempts to flip it open. Unfortunately, that's the natural place the thumb goes after the initial motion(I only shaved off a little skin from my thumb, no blood). But again, that SHOULD loosen with use. If not, a flat head screwdriver or something should loosen that pin up. The tip and the blade sticking is the reason for only 4 stars. I totally recommend this balisong for ANYONE, whether just getting into balisongs, or looking to add a mid-tier blade to the fold."
