Hey guys. I just completed my second balisong this afternoon, and thought I'd post a few photos.
Some Stats:
Open Length: 6" (does not include protruding latch)
Closed Length: 3-9/16"
Blade Length: 2-3/8" Tip to choil (flat-ground differentially heat-treated)
Steel: 1095 from Kelly Cupples
Handles: 6AL-4V Titanium w/ hand-bent titanium pocket clip and stainless hardware/latch
Inlay: Stabilized? Bone (Sample from Masecraft)
Pivots: 3/16" pivots w/ 1/4" bushings and PB washers
There were a number of times while making this knife where I was sure that I had screwed it up. Every time things came together and worked out. I think the Lord likes making knives with me.
Let me know what you think.
Erin
