Balisongs. Light or heavy?

Question

What is a good weight for balisong tricks? Lighter (3-4 oz) or heavier (5+ oz)? What weight do you prefer your balisongs?

Answer 1

Personally I prefer the heavier balisongs.  My cheaper balisongs are much lighter and take  some getting used to with the aerial openings.  The heavier balisongs can take more punishment I've found, particularly when starting out or learning new flips.

Saying that I've a pair of jaguars that are really light, but always land right when I flip them.
