For anyone who doesn't know, in the hands of an expert the balisong can be deployed as fast as an automatic switchblade (I know... I was a skeptic until I saw a video of this old man in the Philippines who makes/sells balisongs and he made 1 fwd motion and the friggin' blade was out before u know it). Knife fighters also don't go around flipping the balisong during combat. Mandala Rommel is simply doing an exercise.
@s3ksee There's also types of balisongs that are specifically designed so about an inch and a half of the blade protrudes from the bottom of the handle the idea being that you can still utilize the blade without having to deploy it first.
