Up for sale today... need funds to pay the dentist. 
This is a custom balisong, made by Don Ritchey, aka nivejuncky here on the forums.
Original specs from the maker:
7.4 oz
440C blade a tad over 4"
.125" thick
303 stainless handles
5.625" closed
9.25" open
sandwich construction
This is a really great flipper; super buttery smooth, and DEADLY sharp. Don is really a master at his craft; his grinds are really clean and precise, and his knowledge of the balisong's dynamics are evident in his work.
I've carried and flipped this one a bit, so it has some normal marks on the handle from a few drops, but the blade is full and bright with no chips in the edge.
If you're looking for a "best of both worlds" balisong, this one's for you. It's got that classic steel-handled feel and weight, with the tight precision of a sandwich-constructed flipper. I really am sad to let it go, but it must be done.
Here are some photos. The first 3 are from Don. The other shots are mine, just snapped the other day:
Price is $300 shipped. Paypal preferred. I will ship Priority Mail with tracking.
First come, first serve. If you have more questions, shoot me an email.
Also entertaining reasonable offers, but no trades please.
Thanks,
Alex
