Description

[edit | edit source]

The LDY Orion V1 is a relatively cheap balisong, released in March of 2023. When it was produced, it cost 100USD, and for that price you were getting a trainer and a separate live blade. It featured bushings, which allowed for easy tuning and hidden zen pins. Handles could be finished in two ways: anodization and ceramic coating. The balance is neutral or handle biased, depending on the blade and handle finish.
