Good bali with a few flaws (edited)
I've only had this knife a few hours now and so far I'm enjoying flipping it. Came out of the box with exceptionally minimal handle play. The blade feels heavy and sturdy, and the spanto grind is definitely a pro. The weight distribution is great with a little bit of handle bias (the blade is fairly thick) and the handles carry momentum flawlessly. However, the horns on the blade…

can pinch pretty bad. They can definitely get in the way while flipping and make chaplins much more difficult. That said, I've found that the problem can be mitigated by just holding the handles a bit lower. My only other complaint is that the latch tends to get caught by the safe handle while flipping, but that's to be expected of a balisong without a spring latch. Overall, 7.5/10. I'd recommend this to anybody looking for a balisong suitable for EDC and flips well, but it's no competitive flipper unless you remove the latch and grind down the horns on the blade.
Edit: after using this knife for a few months now, I'd have to give it a solid 8.5/10. Having flipped a few other $200-350 balisongs, this one is among the best. I've gotten some pretty nasty blisters from the horns, but aside from that, the handles carry momentum flawlessly and are extremely easy to fan. I've learned a load of tricks using the Nieves.
If you're buying this knife, be sure you tighten (and preferably locktite) the hinge pins the second you receive it as the blade rub can be pretty bad if the handles are slightly loose. However, after tightening my knife's hinge pins, I never had another problem with blade rub.
In terms of longevity, this knife has taken my abuse fairly well (so far). The blade retains its edge very well and is honestly scary to flip after sharpening. The handle play hasn't really changed and the blade rub is yet to return.
Overall, the Nieves is a good flipper and a superb EDC for an average price.
Edit 2: I partially retract my comments on longevity. After owning this knife for half a year now, there is severe blade tap and the latch has damaged the finish on the handles. Tightening pivot screws only causes the pivot to seize rather than correcting blade rub. This problem should not plague a $300-$400 balisong. However, it still flips great after a lot of abuse, but don't expect the mint blade finish or good tolerances to last.
