[Rick Haney Design]

I decided to redesign the Kraken,I skelontinized the liners & scales.Lightened it up,Flips real good.Orange G-10 is contoured,Sandvik 19C27 blade.
Hope you like it.

Chiro75,Thanks.After tweaking the design on Cad,Repositioning tang pin locations.The next ones I make will have a precision sealing bearing system,No blade play.

WOW ... that looks like a Chinese acrobat..... seriously it looks like someone doing flips. I think that's a good thing, a bali that looks like it's flipping while still, kinda like a car that looks like it's going 100mph.

Keith,When I decided to design a balisong I wanted to explore a curved handle.After numerous redesigns,I came to this.CAD has allowed me to refine the design to it's present state.I have several radical bali designs I've yet to make,Hope to do them after Blade.
