Knifejunkie, thank you much for your kind words, but no experts here. Just a bunch of people passionate about knives and edged weapons. All here to learn from each other...

Scarface, Chinese knock off's are available at Heera Panna at Haji Ali from 500-1000 depending on how you negotiate. Nieto Butterfly Knives are available at Saleh Arms Stores in Crawford Market for 800-900 I think but the quality is very poor....

Aren't they illegal here? Remember something of that sort in some document i read.

[knifejunkie]

Balisongs are indeed illegal to own cause of their ability to quickly act (in opening) but everything nice is illegal or atleast made so even if law of the land state otherwise take note of hw much trouble we endure in importing knives.

Add to that spring assist, switch blades, or assisted openers of any kind.Also inertia/gravity knives.

I have all of these. Never heard the Indian Arms Act saying anything about springs, gravity and switches..
Had it been so then the artisans at Rampur, makers of the famous Rampuri knives that you often saw in Hindi films in the 70s/80s would have died years ago.
The only thing that is legally banned are sword sticks popularly called guptis primarily because they are camouflaged.
Experts on the Arms Act may throw some light on this subject.

I would like to gift my brother a Balisong Trainer but can't seem to find a good one in my budget! (I'm based in HYDERABAD)
Would really appreciate any leads!
Found a few on Ebay.in, but they seem to be way too overpriced! If I can't find anything else I'm willing to shell out even 2-3k but need something good. Here are the links-
1. http://www.ebay.in/itm/Balisong-Trainer ... 957wt_1139
2. http://www.ebay.in/itm/Black-Bali-Comb- ... 888wt_1139

Hi Shyn,

Please go to www.knifecenter.com and look for Balisong Trainers or go to this link

http://www2.knifecenter.com/kc_new/stor ... ng+trainer

There will be additional courier charge and customs. All in all you should be able to get this for about USD 40 landed at your doorstep, and within your budget. If my math is wrong, I apologise.

Cheers, Slingshot

get a cheapo chinese knock off from Heera Panna and tape the edge with electricians tape. Viola you have your trainer. Whn you get good at it you can upgrade to something like a Bradley Kimura or even the Benchmade Blisongs if you can afford.

Best
Moin.
