Balisongs / Butterfly Knives

Almost all of these balisong knives were made to customer specifications. With exception of the "Goblin Balisong" and "Ring Fighter Balisong" which was made in a limited numbered run from water jet cut parts (handles and blade)
The rest of the balisongs were "handmade" I chose to serialize in sequence starting with the first balisong I made.


"Goblin Balisong"
The goblin balisong was started in 2009 and will be a limited numbered run.
Blade: 4" from handles, CMP154. Titanium Handles, O.A.L. 9"
Special features: New retractable latch, or latchless/magnetic latch, IKBS.
The Goblin Balisong run was finished in 2014 with a total of 28 made.




2011 Goblins

The Ring Fighter Balisong

"Original Ring Fighter"
The original run of 20 "Ring Fighter" balisongs made in 2005 was sold through EDCKnives and is currently sold out. The first 20 had 4 5/8" S30V deep belly blade with sharpened swedge and maroon micata handles. O.A.L. is 10 1/2".
There was left over water jet cut parts (blade and handles) That was done with various modifications from the original 20. A total of 39 ring fighters was built, with run ending in 2013.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
