It would be nice if there would be some basic info readily available here. E.g. a pinned post or just some links in the sidebar.

Questions in my head right now:

• What to look for when buying balisongs?
  • Materials
  • Bearings or no?
  • Latch or no?
  • Size
  • Weight
• Some concrete recommendations
  • Training
  • Something for utility, not just flipping
  • Available outside US too
• Guides or videos for getting started
• Anything you wish you had known back in the day..

Every time I tune my balisong, there is tap. If I tighten too hard then the handles become stiff. Is there a better technique or tips and tricks to achieve better resilts?

Edit: I find that it's better to just tweak it in very small amounts. Still, if there's a better technique to getting results in faster times, let me know. I've seen squidindustries's videos on it and they seem to tune balisongs very quick.
