Beautiful rendition of a Typhoon kit balisong. I have never seen one of these done in abalone. Knife is in like new unused condition with perfectly fitted abalone inserts. The smooth action and precision fit and finish of this knife make it an impressive show piece.
Own a custom balisong for less than half the price.

is there a brand on this? if now, do you know who did the work? material on the blade and handle?
 
I am not sure if these kits are still available. They were designed by Darrel Ralph and sold for around $70 without inserts. Inserts could be purchased but none were abalone. The blade has a beautiful grind with a satin finish. Handles are stainless steel. Here is a link to some info on these kits:

My friend, Ken Metsala who does amazing filework and custom knife handles, made this one up. You can check out his work at his Ebay store:
