Darrel Ralph Venturi V111 IKBS Balisong

Larry B. · Mar 18, 2006

I am the original owner of this knife. The blade is a 4 1/4in drop- point blade with titanium handles and carbon fiber inlays. The knife is in mint condition and features the IKBS system. The price is $450.00 which includes shipping and ins. in CONUS. I would prefer pay-pal which I will absorb the 3 pts. Here is a picture. Thx. for your interest. Money back if not satisfied.

Nice knife, but not quite my bag of tricks so I'll put it back on the block. $475 to cover shipping by Registered Mail & Paypal.

So you're putting it back up for sale and listing it 25.00 higher than Larry, and you're using his thread.

Wow, what a class act you are.

I'm not profiting from the knife, just want back what I put into it. Larry has a money back guarantee but I PM'd him letting him know I would try to sell it from here to spare him the trouble and extra shipping costs. You should know better than to interject your narrow viewpoint into someone else's for sale thread.

Could you tell us in which areas your expectations were not met, or which characteristics you didn't like?

Thanks. - JD

yes, inquiring minds want to know...what were your expectations? maybe it's something i've overlooked, myself.

Balislinger · Mar 28, 2006

Good questions guys. Let me be clear that the knife is flawless and Larry B. is nothing but a top notch seller (I think he felt I might be implying there was something wrong with the knife when there isn't). What don't I like about it? Hmmm, it's so subjective, I'm a collector that really only keeps pieces that speak to me, especially at this price point. Sometimes a knife grabs you in a pic but then when you sit with the real thing it strikes you differently. That's definitely been my relationship with Korth balisongs as well.

So I don't know what exactly I can point to, maybe it's the overall feel, maybe the blade shape (yes I know it's pictured), or maybe how light the knife is.
