What's a good balisong that comes sharp and is actually made for fighting not flipping?

Why buy a knife like that....ever....if it's for fighting?

Something like this would make a vastly more effective fighting knife.

I just don't get the need to "assemble" a tool for fighting if a rapid draw, ergonomically excellent fixed blade is available.

I have a tops hazen legion that I use,  but wanted another lightweight knife with 4-6" blade I could deploy fast and could be used in forward and reverse grips.

That blade you posted looks interesting.

If I were buying a Balisong to stand up to actual use it would probably be a 29 Knives custom from Chris Olofson. They are heavy duty.

I had a titanium bench made something, maybe 42? With months of practice
It was still slower than even a non-tactical folder. Autos and assisted opening beat it by a lot and fixed blades even more so

Is there some sort of reason that you want to rely on one of the most complicated and difficult deployment mechanism for a self defense knife?
