The pictures and captions say it all...........One of the most amazing pieces of work I've ever handled; a true 'next generation' of balis has been born! Absolutely the sharpest piece of steel a person could own; foil thin and scalpel sharp edge the length of both sides.

Enjoy........... http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=667533&a=13912697
 
Wow now that makes me re-think this whole deal, the other pics had put me off but these and your comments on the edge geometry sounds very appealing! Nice pics there!

OH MY LORD WHAT DID YOU DO TO THAT BLADE!!! You took a perfectly good straight blade and squished it into THAT!?!?!


Great pics man, I can't imagine owning one and putting up with the temptation to flip it on a daily basis. Can someone describe the spring mechanism or maybe make a quick sketch? Does it have two equal pressure coils on each side of the latch or is there one coil on the tang side of the latch?
 
Wow I can't believe I didnt look at the photopoint pics. Those pics are the next best thing to holding one in my hands...thanx!!:cool:
 
Thanks Dudley.., very nice of you to do the whole photo shoot! A great knife and some nice photography as well!! Enjoy!!

And....Congratulations! AWESOME!!!

Sweet...........

How well does it handle aerials??;)
 
Hey, cool... hand that over for a sec, I need to open this can of paint...

Wow. Maybe if I start up a career of robbing liquor stores now, by the time they decide to make more customs like that I'll have the money to get a really really nice one.
 
Clay you might have to wait until Cam gets his to see how they flip. I think that every one else is to scared to use theirs...

This one is a zero tolerance blade; you absolutely would not get a second chance! I think you can ask anyone who's lucky enough to have one and they will ALL tell you that it is the sharpest blade that you could ever imagine! I've read for years how sharp the knives of Bill Moran are; the guy that wrote the first book and did the photos said he bled ever time he did a photo shoot. I will guarantee that ol' Bill would approve of this and probably be a little envious. ;) I've never been so careful trying to take pictures. That rayskin is like little glass balls for the mirror polished steel to slide around on...........I kept telling myself not to grab for it if it started to fall off.
 
Dudley, thanks for the great pics !!!! You're absolutely correct on two counts--- 1 - almost perfect, 'cause only BM could do it better---2--- sure is sharp. I tried mine on a post-it note --- wow!! I need to put it away for a while--but just can't bring myself to do it. BTW mine's #23. Keep the band-aids handy!! :)
 
Why'd you have to go and do that?!:eek:

As usual, I am sickened by this never ending display of custom craftwork that Dawkind seems to harbor in his virtual museum of fine Balisongs. Now my standards just went through the roof, and my 42 will never look the same again:( . Thanks Dudley I owe it all to you.:D
