I found a place in Italy that has some nice looking Bali's. Do you think they would be pretty good?

Is that the INOX we are talking about? I just got one, finally, and I like it. Of course at this point in time, anything that is not a rip off copy of a Benchmade is a breath of fresh air for me. It's a little lose and wobbles a bit at the pivot pin, but as I have said before, people have wanted them that way for the longest time. It's only in the last year or so, that people have been wanting less slop between the blade and the handle. It seems to have a nice blade. The handle and bolsters are all one peice, which is nice, you do not ever have to worry about the bolsters falling off or getting lose or out of align. It seems to be buffed out real nice, and the wood looks good on it. But others may have a different opinion, it's a slim jim style knife. Thanks, JohnR7


 
Are you talking about this one?

Mr. Gollnick did a review at his site that you may want to check out. A fellow formite by the name of NateDogg had one and the handle cracked. I don't own one, but am just re-iterating thoughts from others.
