To all of my fellow Bladeforum members:
I have received a great deal of praise about and interest in reference to the balisong knives that I am making.
For which I thank you all very much.
In order to answer some of your questions about the knives and what is available I provide the following information about options available on the knives:
Handle type: solid, skeletonized or inlayed
Handles material: aluminum, stainless steel, or brass/bronze
Inlay material: black white, maroon Micarta, exotic woods, stag, bone, horn, Ivory and Mother of Pearl (Very Special order and contingent on my supplier for the last two)
Blade material: 440C, ATS-34, D-2, or "Talonite"
Blade length:, 3", 4",4.5", 5" or 6" 4 inch blade is standard and no extra charge
Other blades lengths are an addition charge 5 and 6 inch blades are special order only
Blade Style: Weehawk, Tanto, DropPont/Utility and some of my own design. Spear Point (Special order only) additional
charge. All blades are flat ground to zero degrees. No Kriss blades Weehawks may be had with sharpened upper edge on request only.
Link to old PC catalog of blade styles below: These are for reference only, since all blades are hand ground, no two blades are
exactaly the same.

Latch or Latch less handle design
Additional blade, handle or both, decoration may be had for an additional charge
All knives come standard with a satin finish. A high polish on blade, handle or both may be had for an additional charge.
Included in price is a new horizontal nylon belt sheath for the knife.
The really nice thing about these knives is that almost anything is possible.
There are always exceptions and anything special would have to be discussed.
Again thank you all for the interest that you have expressed and the good things that have been said about my work so far.
If any of you have any further questions or suggestions, please feel free to write to me and I will get back to you asap
Here again is the link to Photos of my knives
