My next steel order

[Charlie Mike]

Should give me enough for 2 balis and1 large fixed blade fightrr. 3/16" ATS34.

 

[james terrio]

How long are the balis going to be? 3/16" is pretty stout for a folder.

 

[Charlie Mike]

2' of 1/8" 440c for balisong handles. The ATS34 is for blades and spacers. Finally 3/16 SS pinstock to assemble them. They should be approx 10" overall.

 

[james terrio]

Well that will surely be stout! You could use cheaper stainless for the handles, since they don't have to be hardened. 440C will work though, just be careful who you order it from. The last "440C" I got was crap - hardened up OK but had a terrible finish, worse than the "orange peel" look on D2.

Here is my latest bali. I should be getting the blade back soon.

Be careful Mike.

Balisongs and Ca. do not mix well

 

[Charlie Mike]

I don't carry them. I just enjoy making them.
