I am on the journey to find the PERFECT bali for me. I have gone through several makers now, and am loving finding different handle materials, blade shapes, and pivot systems.
I have a couple blades for trade, I am not 100% on the Guinn, but I figure I'd get a couple good offers on that if I put it out there. I am in no rush, so I am going to consider offers carefully.
I am interested in custom balisongs first and foremost. I am on a warpath for a 43, so one of those could strongly perk my interests. I am looking for 4"+ blades (unless its a Tachyon), I prefer metal handles (not a huge overlay fan), and am strongly fond of bowie/clip or weehawk blade profiles.
I am not a "collector" in the typical sense, I dont care if you've flipped the blade, as long as the blade hasn't been torn up. Handle scuffs or minor scratches dont bug me a bit. I am looking for my "ultimate flipper," so I am not very concerned with cosmetic issues...
Email is the fastest method of communication for me, I always have access to my email. Contact me with and offers/questions at: rangerover_95@hotmail.com.
OK! Now that what I want is out of the way, lets get to what you guys might want!
First up is a Korth Panther, with stainless steel handles and a S30V weehawk blade. It has a true false edge that is sharpened about halfway back on the spine, but transfers to a crowned spine that is very comfortable to ricochet off your fingers. This is the SMOOTHEST knife I have ever played with, you can definately tell these guys know what they're doing with IKBS (hell they co-invented it). The knife has some minor scuffing on the handle, but nothing thats noticeable until you start holding it in the bright light and checking...
I took the latch off, I dislike latches on my flipping oriented knives. I have a couple of O-rings on the latch as well, so if you want to reattach the latch, it will at least stay out of the way. My only issues with this knife come from the small size of the knife. It is damn near identical to my Tachyon, except slightly skinnier (in the thickness manner). The weight on it is perfect, but my preference is for BM 4x sized knives, and the Korth is just slightly too small to handle properly for me. Its a shame, because if this knife was about 1/2-1" bigger, it'd be the best knife in the world for me.
