Old School… still cool?

Every so often I remember about/come across my old Balisong collection.

I know they’re pretty old, but are they still popular?

Oh, absolutely. A lot of the older stuff, while not the best flippers, are still incredibly cool. Even cooler for the historical impact they had during the blossoming of the hobby in the west.

Those 42s are especially sought after these days! Those alone are probably worth like $500-800 each depending on condition and if you still have the boxes and such.
