Q&A
Q1: Has my order shipped yet?
Orders generally ship within 24 hours. (Excluding weekends and holidays) Once an order ships, we'll send you a shipping confirmation email with the tracking number and link.
If you haven't received it, here are a few things to check:
- Check your spam/junk folder in case the email got filtered.
- Double check the email address you provided when placing the order - we've had issues in the past with incorrect email addresses. If you realize you gave us the wrong one, just email us to update it.
- Verify your delivery address - issues like a mismatched zip code, missing apt/unit number, etc. can cause delays as we work to correct the address.
If none of those apply, feel free to email us and include your order number so we can look into it.
Q2: Why are orders to Korea, Turkey, and Chile taking longer to ship?
-Korea
Korea now requires strict verification of the personal customs clearance code:Starting July 11, 2024, Cainiao will verify the accuracy of the customs clearance code for all orders to Korea (the code must be valid and match the recipient's registered name and phone number). Orders that fail this verification will not be able to be placed.When placing your order, please double check this information. We usually send a "shipping info confirmation" email on the same day - please review that.
-Turkey
To avoid extra customs procedures and fees, please provide your ID number (personal tax ID) when placing your order.
-Chile
Chile does not have an RUT (personal tax ID), so logistics providers are rejecting our orders there. We cannot ship to Chile without an RUT, so please provide this when placing your order.
Q3: Why is my order showing as "Returned to Sender"?
This can be divided into two cases:
- If the package is showing return to sender within your country, check the logistics info. If it failed delivery due to an incorrect address, we won't reship or refund. See the Return Policy for more.
- If it's showing return to sender in the origin country, check your email for any logistics update emails about the package.
Typically, if a package is returned by the logistics provider due to prohibited items, we'll reship the same day we get the return notice and update the tracking. So check your email if you see a return, and contact us if you don't see an update.
Q4: Why don't you ship to Hawaii anymore?
Our logistics partners have had a very difficult time reliably shipping balisongs to Hawaii. Past Hawaii orders often required 3+ shipping attempts before successful delivery, and some were ultimately undeliverable, so we've had to close the Hawaii market.
Q5: Can you ship to Canada/UK/Germany/Australia?
Yes, we do ship to Canada, the UK, Germany, and Australia. For information on our customs clearance rates, please check our Customs Issues Page.If your package is unfortunately held up by customs, even after you've actively cooperated with the clearance process, we will provide a refund or reship the order. (So far, all reshipments have been successful.)
Q6: 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.

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.

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.
Customer Reviews
It flips really well...handle's got a good grip and smooth to hold in hand due to it's rounded shape. There is no play or tapping with it...The only minor flaw for me is that the blade's white colour paint has come off of it after I dropped a few times on hard surfaces...other than that it's a good trainer for both beginners and experienced flippers...
Im not very good but its perfect
Fantastic beginner product. No tap, sounds great after ypu break it in, and the perfect amount of handle bias for an introduction into flipping

Title says it all, Im not that experienced and I heard several youtubers pointing me to nabalis for beginner balisongs. Worth the price if you want to take balisong flipping seriouslt
