You’re probably reading this and thinking to yourself, “what the hell is a balisong? That’s obviously a butterfly knife.” If you weren’t, you’re way more knowledgable about this stuff than we are because that’s exactly what we were thinking. But we digress. This Balisong is the first that’s legal in all 50 states because it’s not actually a knife, it’s a 2gb USB stick artfully concealed in ABS plastic with a working latch. You open and close it the same way you would a traditional butterfly knife, but it won’t get you arrested or kill anyone. It’s only good for transferring or storing files. Yes, yes, we know, you have a 5gb Dropbox, and Google Drive and Microsoft Skydrive, but sometimes there are files that are too precious or personal to have living on the Internet forever. For those types of files, this Balisong should be your weapon of choice.
