● Ceramic coating and Teflon coating
Nabalis wants to create a cute, public-friendly, and harmless metal balisong. With the current manufacturing processes, even after anodizing, the balisong will still have a pure metal visual, no matter how vibrant the color, and this simply cannot meet our requirements. After some searching, we found that ceramic coatings and Teflon coatings can achieve the ideal effect we're looking for.
Balisongs with ceramic and Teflon coatings won't have a heavy metal feel to their appearance. Combined with a cute cheese-inspired design and adorable colors, these "cute" elements will further reduce the metallic look, making it appear more like a toy. Even in public spaces, people won't perceive it as "dangerous."
● Why Ultimately Choose Teflon?
After a series of tests, we found that for balisongs with ceramic coatings, if they were dropped on the floor during flipping, the ceramic coating on the handle surface would easily peel off. Even a light tap with the hand would cause the ceramic coating to peel off in large areas, which would have a significant impact on the overall appearance of the balisong.
In contrast, for balisongs with Teflon coatings, even when dropped on the floor during flipping, the Teflon coating on the handle surface did not peel off, minimizing the impact on the appearance.
Ultimately, we are more inclined to use the Teflon material.
