Bear OPS Bear Song IV Butterfly Knife Blue Raindrop (4.38" Black) B-400-AIBD

This is the most solid Bali I have ever touched for the price. I’ve been flipping the crap out of it and abusing it and it takes it. I will, per the instructions, put some thread locker on the pins at some point. I like everything about it. Nice latch, great balance and nice solid feel for under $100. You can’t beat that. I plan on buying several more bear song IVs specifically but I’m sure all of their stuff is wonderful.

This was my first balisong and I would definitely recomend this to anyone looking for a budget balisong. The tang pins did break after droping on hardwood, but after emailing bear and song the instantly replied and sent me out another pair with no questions asked. It's also one of my sharpest knives out of the box.

I used this knife lightly for a few months, and one of the stopper pins snapped. Unfortunately, I was stupid and had previously voided the warranty by dulling the blade. I loved the knife while it worked, and found it great for learning to flip on.

So I have 3 bear songs IV, I was really impressed with the design and the way the blade feels and looks. It came a little stiff but it just needs to be broken in. Do not mess with screws because the first one I had tried to loctite the screw, well it already had threadlocker (blue) in it. So don't break seal because if you do then you will have to loctite again. The first one I had I reloctited it because I broke the seal and oiled it and it is smooth as ever. The reason why I didn't give it a 5 star was because one of the handles was tighter than the other and most people want it even.

PS: If you do decide to take screw out make sure your on a flat surface and you hold the opposite side which is that pivot barrel that the screw goes into because it will fall out and fitting it back in the hole is a pain.
