I have a like-new condition 29 Knives large weehawk bali with skeletonized stainless steel handles and a double-edged weehawk S30V blade for sale. Chris Olofson's balis are known to be among the best ever made, and to my knowledge, he has stopped taking orders, and, at least temporarily, stopped making knives altogether. So, pieces from him are highly collectible rarities. This piece is different from the norm for Chris in that the skeletonizing of the handle is with slots and holes rather than just holes.
The large weehawk bali listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and it still has its original sharp double edge from Chris. I have flipped this piece lightly just a couple of times, and there are very faint latch marks on the ends of the handles, so I won't call this one mint. It is otherwise perfect, though. The action is very smooth on this bali, and the construction is rock solid. Also noteworthy is the fact that although the top swedge of the blade is sharpened, the flat part of the blade spine is long enough to prevent me from nicking myself if the back of the blade hits my hand while flipping the knife.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Like new
Blade length: 5 1/4" from tip to handle
Overall length: 11 1/2"
Blade thickness: 3/16" at ricasso
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed flats, vertical satin grinds
Edge: Plain, 2 7/8" of top swedge sharpened
Handle material: 303 stainless steel, satin finished and skeletonized with slots and holes
Clip: None
I will consider a trade for a Strider RC, or an AR or GB with specifically the following options:
Digicam blade
Black grooved and contoured G-10 scales
TAD tritium thumbstuds
I will also consider trades (+ or - cash) for custom folders and custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Tim Galyean
Kit Carson
Jim Burke
Rick Hinderer
Charles Marlowe
Tom Mayo
DB Fraley
Neil Blackwood
Deryk Munroe
Flavio Ikoma
Mauricio Dobruski (balis only)
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Todd Begg
I may consider trades for other custom folders not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives aside from the specific aforementioned Striders, or fixed blades other than a Galyean Ukiah, small (less than 5" blade) Hossoms, or a Russ Andrews or John Young at this point in time.
Feel free to post, email, or PM any questions. Thanks for looking!
