I have a one-of-a-kind Charles Marlowe Spearpoint custom balisong with titanium handles, IKBS pivots, and a handrubbed 154CM blade for sale. Charles is perhaps the premier maker of custom balisongs in the world today, and this piece is a perfect example of his impeccable work.
This spearpoint bali is a big one, with a 6 1/4" blade length and 13 1/8" OAL, but it flips absolutely great. The blade is double-edged, but there is a long section of flat blade spine to allow very safe flipping without cuts. The IKBS (Ikoma-Korth Bearing System) pivots, with their many ball bearings, allow for maximum smoothness in action with zero play in the handles.
The Marlowe listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened before, and the original edge from Charles on it is extremely sharp. I will admit that I have flipped this piece lightly a couple of times, but aside from some very faint latch marks on the butt end of the handle, it is in mint condition.
***TRADED***
The specs:
Condition: Lightly flipped, otherwise mint
Blade length: 6 1/4" from tip to handle
Overall length: 13 1/8"
Blade thickness: 3/16" at ricasso
Blade steel: 154CM
Blade finish: Handrubbed
Edge: Plain
Handle material: Titanium, beadblasted, with hole chamfers anodized blue
Backspacer: Red G-10
Clip: None
For payment on this piece, I strongly prefer USPS money orders, but I will also accept PayPal or personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, I will cover the fees, but the payment has to be sent with a PayPal-confirmed address (including the green "confirmed" marker) listed in the invoice, and I will only ship to that PayPal-confirmed address. I reserve the right to wait for personal checks to clear before I ship.
I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Charles Marlowe
Tim Galyean
Bob Lum
Sal Manaro
Kit Carson
Deryk Munroe
Gerry McGinnis
Scott Cook
Jim Burke
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Jim Smyth
DB Fraley
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma (balis only)
Mauricio Dobruski (balis only)
I may consider trades for other custom folders not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by John Young or Russ Andrews.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
