Explanation
[edit | edit source]A balisong is considered a clone if the design has been copied, with very little or no changes from the original.
Quality
[edit | edit source]Clones are usually much cheaper than authentic balisongs, as they are often manifactured in China. However, the lower price tag reflects the drop in quality. Clones balisongs typically use lower-grade materials and have worse tolerances. The biggest quality concern is the blade steel. Clones often unse inexpensive, poorly heat-treated steel with burnt cutting edges.
A couple of years ago, clones were complete junk. But nowdays some clones are surprisingly high quality flippers, often times rivaling authentic balisongs in terms of flipping performance.
