Yeah, in shoemart at the filipiniana section there are some. I even saw a barong. I would go to Palengke and check out the itaks and sometimes balisongs. In Sports strore they usually sell knives. Medyo mahal(kinda expensive though).
If you go to Makati, go to Makati Cinema Square. on the 1st floor beside the hallway from Jollibee there is a balisong store. They sell different knives too.
If you have time go to Fairview Dry Market. There is only one knife/swordmaker there. I have seen his craftmanship. Maganda. And he can make you any type of blade as long as you have a pattern.
The best knife/swordsmiths are from Pangasinan. They made the swords used in Mel Gibson's (I forgot the title) it ends with Heart......Braveheart. I think.
If you can go to Batangas. The hometown or origin of the Balisong. Every side or corner there is a stall. But look around and bargain. They have 2 inch to 72 inch balisongs. From combat effective, to keychain types to Displays. I bought a 52 inch one with the Eagele at the end near the handle when it is folded and in the middle of the back of the blade. It is great. You always have to check the craftmanship and the handle before you buy it. I customs I believe here in SFO. They confiscate the more common balisong sizes. The one I bought they never opened.
When you go through the Philippine they will see it in the x-ray and just tell them it's a collection. Only if they ask. If it is swords I was told tell them or write personal collection.
hope this helps. Happy hunting!
