Balisong #2: 5160, flutted cow bone and nickel silver

[Ruben Calo]

3 3/8" blade (2 3/4" edge) in diferentially heat treated handrubbed 5160 - 5/32" thickness. 7 7/8" opened, 4 1/2" closed.
Stainless steel stopping pins and (fileworked) liners. Cross shaped engraved stainless steel pins.
Dovetailed polished and flutted cow bone scales with engraved nickel silver bolsters. Nickel silver latch.

As always, 100% hand made with the tools you can see on my workshop.

Smooth action and well balanced for flipping (steel and nickel silver get a nice weight)

fluted bone has such a nice look.
i'm surprised more people don't use it.

Ruben, I LOVE your work.
The unpolished, rough-hewn, tough look ain't done better
& when I've done my time in the breadline (being a student), you'll be hearing from me.
until then, keep the folders coming.

Hey Ruben,
I really admire your work, I also noticed you give tutorials on your website... I don't think I've seen many other makers share their trade secrets. Thanks for being so generous by giving us some insight into your artistic knife making talents.
