Q&A
Q1: Has my order shipped?
Orders typically ship within 24 hours (excluding weekends and public holidays). Once your order ships, we’ll send a shipping confirmation email that includes your tracking number and a tracking link.
If you don’t receive that email, please check your spam folder and confirm the email address you entered at checkout.
Q2: I’m in Brazil / Mexico / Chile / Peru, but my order never ships. Why?
- Brazil & Mexico: The most common issue is that the customs tax ID does not match the name provided. Please use your full legal name (no abbreviations) that matches your tax ID, otherwise we cannot ship your order.
- Chile & Peru: A customs tax ID is required. Please enter it in the “note” field at checkout or email it to us. A valid and complete customs tax ID speeds up clearance and helps avoid additional fees. The tax ID must also match your full legal name, or the shipment may not be processed.
Required tax IDs:
Brazil: CPF / CNPJ
Mexico: RFC
Chile: RUT
Peru: RUC
Q3: Why hasn’t my tracking updated for several days?
Common reasons include:
The package is transiting through a third country — tracking updates can be slower during transit.
The package is in customs clearance — clearance times depend on the destination country and can range from same-day to several days (sometimes 2–7 days or longer).
Severe weather in the area can cause delays.
The carrier may have lost the package — if there are no updates for more than 10 days, the package is likely lost; please contact our support so we can investigate and assist.
Q4: Why can’t you ship to Turkey, India, Indonesia, or Vietnam?
Turkey: Due to Turkish customs policies, shipments to Turkey have frequently been detained and we cannot reliably resolve this — so we’ve closed the Turkey market.
India & Indonesia: Current local policies and restrictions from our carriers prevent us from shipping to these countries.
Vietnam: Our only available carrier for Vietnam closed its Vietnam route in July, so we had to suspend shipments there.
Q5: My order is missing xxx.
On the day you receive the package, please check the contents - if anything is missing, let us know right away and we'll reship it. After 7 days, we won't be able to do a reshipment.
Q6: What if my shipping address was entered incorrectly?
After payment, please review the shipping details in your order confirmation email and check:
Street name
House number / Apt, Unit, or Suite (e.g., Apt 1203, Unit B, Suite 450) — missing this information often causes delivery failure or returns
City, State/Province, and Postal Code — make sure the postal code matches the city
For Brazil & Mexico: ensure the name matches the customs tax ID (Brazil: CPF/CNPJ; Mexico: RFC)
For Chile & Peru: provide your customs tax ID (Chile: RUT; Peru: RUC)

with your order number and the corrected full address. We’ll do our best to help.

Teflon Material
● 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.
Designer Cikey's Message
Why Create the Cheese?
We want to create a cute, harmless, public-friendly metal balisong that can introduce more people to balisongs and the balisong community, allowing them to experience the joy of flipping.We hope balisong culture can move out onto the streets, becoming a healthy, sunny hobby that showcases technical skill, and spread the joy of flipping and a positive lifestyle to more people.
