Should give me enough for 2 balis and1 large fixed blade fightrr. 3/16" ATS34.
 
How long are the balis going to be? 3/16" is pretty stout for a folder.
 
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.
 
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.
 
Be careful Mike.

Balisongs and Ca. do not mix well :)
 
I don't carry them. I just enjoy making them.
 
I'll also be doing a recurve tanto fighter in black micarta.
