While doing some clean up in my blade drawer, I found my first Balisong! This is the puppy that my dad bought for, so I could learn how to use it. The blade is a wee hawk style and has brass handles with holes. Does anyone know about these? Also, are they worth anything now?
 
well i think a pic would help, so i could see what it looks like

Kew, thanks for the link to your site. Nice collection! My Manila Folder is on your page 4, the 7th picture down. $" Wee-hawk blade and brass skeletonized handle. Any idea what it is worth now? The blade and handle are in very good condition, but the handle pins are somewhat loose.
 
$96.00 ! Interesting.I'm surprised that someone would pay that much, but if someone wants something bad enough they will pay. Thanks again.
 
What blows me away, is people are paying $150.00 for BM10's and BM30's. I would understand that for BM45's, but to pay that much more than a BM42 for a 3 inch with exposed pins!?! crazzzy!!! I might have to dig out my old knives. I wonder what some sucker would pay for a Frost Cutlery POS?
 
NIB, Manila folders go in the $100+ range. They are quite sought after because they are so well built. Really nice knives.

Just remember which handle is which.

If your's is a bit used, it's probably worth considerably less, though.
