SOLD!​
For Sale is a one-of-a-kind custom Balisong made by Brad Duncan, then, in "as new" condition, sent by me, to Mr.Terry Guinn of Seymour Texas for latch and spacer modifications. The stunning handles, as well as the blade material are Swedish Infamy, Devin Thomas Damasteel, liners are blue anodized titanium, and the stop pins are hidden, as well as replaceable "zen" style.
Brad's infamous T-latch, and mis-matched spacers, have been removed and replaced with custom file-worked counterweight spacers, and rare earth magnet latch. The magnets are placed ever so perfect to give just the right amount of catch in both the open and closed position, without the magnets, or handles making contact with each other. EXCELLENT DESIGN! Only flipped a few times, very lightly, I would consider this knife like new.
As a huge fan of Brad's timebomb, I was hesitant to purchase one from his run of 20 simply because of what I had heard about weight issues and latch lock up. All my issues with the model have been corrected by Brad's choice of materials and Terry's magic corrections. Trust me when I say this knife is perfect in every way.

Sweet knife, I'm tripping over my tongue.

Babies aren't really that expensive right at first, Doug. Why does it seem you are liquidating your stash?

thanks guys for the compliments... She really is a beauty Andy, the knife, AND my new baby. :D My Daughter Chloe was born last week. Without getting into details, let's just say some babies end up costing a little more than others. As it looks right now, I couldnt catch up if I sold my soul... :grumpy:
