I have a near mint condition Dobruski Blade Runner bali with dual finished stainless steel handles and a satin finished tanto S30V blade for sale. Mauricio Dobruski is well known as one of the premier custom balisong makers in the world, and the Blade Runner is perhaps his most sought after model. Aside from the aggressive blade grind, the dual finished handles on this piece are perhaps its most impressive feature. The bolster areas (as well as the butt end) of the knife are satin finished, while the middle handle area is skeletonized and textured for a better grip.
The Blade Runner listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened before, and the original edge from Mauricio on it is very, very sharp. I will admit that I have flipped this piece lightly once or twice, but aside from a few very light latch marks on the butt end of the handle, it is in mint condition. This is a very solidly built custom bali.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Near mint
Blade length: 4 1/4" from tip to handle
Overall length: 9 1/8"
Blade thickness: 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed flats, vertical satin grinds
Edge: Plain
Handle material: Stainless steel, dual satin/texture finish
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. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Tim Galyean
Kit Carson
Deryk Munroe
Jim Burke
Rick Hinderer
Charles Marlowe
Jim Smyth
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
DB Fraley
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
I may consider trades for other custom folders not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives other than a numbered Strider RC, or fixed blades other than those by Tim Galyean, Tom Krein, John Young, Jerry Hossom, or Russ Andrews. Also, for this piece, I am not interested in trading for other balis, with the exception of a Todd Begg Stigma or a Rick Hinderer Fire Whirl.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
