Balisongs
/ Butterfly Knives
|
| The
balisong, also known as a butterfly knife, combines the strength
of a fixed blade with the practicality of a folding knife. Click

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 is left over water jet cut parts (blade and handles)
That will be done periodically with various modifications
from the original 20. The Ring Fighter is one of my best
and most original designs to date. I hope this knife will
remain popular and I can continue to build this knife
though out my career. |
