Ooooooookay folks, back ON topic:
Jedi:
Seriously man, just save a little longer, or just bite the bullet and spend the money for a Benchmade balisong or better.
Honestly, BM is basically the cheapest QUALITY balisong you will find.
ANYTHING less expensive than a BM is basically a POS.
PERIOD.
I was going to chime in on BM's earlier, but others replied first.
I speak up now because I don't want you to waste your money.
You seem like a guy who can appreciate quality.
As such, you should not buy a balisong less expensive than a BM.
I have a BM 42s, and it is a great knife all the way around.
Also in that price range is the SWAT bali, which is supposed to be quite a sweet knife.
And of course, you can spend far more than just the $100 or so for a BM, and get a Darrel Ralph or something.
Anyhow, again, I just want to stress that unless you want a cheap piece of metal that is shaped like a balisong, GET A BENCHMADE.

Here I am! I'm the 'student' Brownie is refering to. I've worked (trained) with Brownie on and off since last summer and have learned some really good shtuff. This guy is the real deal and not someone full of BS. The knives are great, but sticks are more fun. 
But I digress...
The POP: Brownie showing me how he presented his defensive folder by drawing really fast with the blade SNAPPING to the locked position. I mean a really hard lock, the kind that gets your attention. I said that's neat, I have a waved Mini Commander, watch this. He was still faster. Correct me if I'm wrong, but with the waved knife, I had to draw the knife to rear to execute the wave, then move forward for the presentation. Then I picked up a MOD Hornet and practiced the pop. Everyone says I can present the Hornet faster with a pop, than the Mini Commander with the wave. Here's why: The wave is two motions, to the rear, then forward to come to point. The pop is one motion forward and stop at point. There is no wrist flick, snap, or roll.
I'm not going to go into details of the method. If Brownie wants, he can share his knowledge as he is the instructor, for I am only the 'student'. All I can say is it is fast without relying on waves, studs, wheels, or holes. It works going forward to point, or moving back as in a retention position.

PS: I think further discussion deserves it's own thread.
