I don't like it at all, IMO.

I have to admit that I probably won't spend that kind of money on one. It looks neat but I can't tell from the pictures if it would even be near worth it
I do like what I see on the site but some of these seem way overpriced
I guess if money where no object I would own one, but since money is somewhat of an obsticle for most people I don't see these making a big hit on the market (maybe he has no intention). Great of Mr. Szabo to offer this to us though. Good luck

You want opinions or information? How about both?
I own a Perrin Bali. It was recently up for sale, but the money never arrived so I don't know if I'll post it for sale again or not because finances aren't so restricted now. But the new Szabo/Perrin bali is the reason that I was going to sell my current Perrin Bali.
Fred made a few protos of the new bali in both a 6" blade and a 3 1/2" blade. Regardless of size, I can promise you that these things move like magic.
People are indeed ordering them. Enough to where they will be made here in the states by a big name custom maker. In fact, they are probably being crafted right now. And I have no doubt that they will be of the utmost quality/materials. I own an excellent example of this custom makers work, and he is the perfect choice to craft this unique bali.
Fred and Laci know their balis. These guys are both fighters to the core. You can bet that this bali will be made with both movement and winning in mind. The radical curves are by no means a gimmick, but rather an enhancement towards superior manipualtion and cutting ability. There are many nice balis out there, but how many are a collaboration between TWO of the best bali practitioners/fighters in the world today?
I'd imagine that one of these balis will make an appearance at the upcoming Riddle. If you can't make Riddle this year....then you'll see one of these balis just as soon as mine arrive.
