Not ONE Balisong?!? Really??

It was okay.

I only got this book, because I recently got into the hobby of balisong flipping.
This book didn't have a single balisong.
It even had a chapter on knives from the Philippines, and not a single mention of balis.

I'm not a big proponent of violence and so this book had quite a bit of dark history.
