What makes a weapon deadly? It's user.

This here is called a Balisong, or butterfly knife in english. Its a folding pocket knife from Philippines. As so the Spy's main weapon for backstabs in Team Fortress 2. Looking at him flicking the knife whenever I want to use it makes me think they look cool. So I did a little research. It's very historical, according to Wikipedia, they were used in duel's over matters of honor, though such practices has been discontinues for decades.

I've been looking for it for quite some time now. I know its illegal to own sharp objects and carrying it around in Malaysia, let alone a knife, which can be used as a weapon, but I just want to own one for the sake of it's coolness, and who knows if I can use it for self protection, right? Injuring people as an act of self defense is not punishable by law.

I've also found a cool site dedicated to this knife. There are also video demonstration of the knife usage and freestyle knife play. Here it is

This site will also be posted on the links part, to the left of this blog.

I really want to have one, if any of my readers knows where I can get one, do tell me, I will appreciate the help. =D
