some new fhm's

batangueno · Jan 12, 2001

Following are a few fhm balisongs i would like to share with you all. The last three are custom made and i believe they are the first tanto fhm balisongs.

Sorry for the poor quality pics, it's my first time to use a digital camera.

3 size 24's with deer stag inserts.

Wow! Very nice looking knives! I'm a tanto-bali fan, but I like the fhm utility style blades up top a lot too.

Wow, those are really nice. I love tanto's as well and would kill for one of those! congrads

KentDog · Jan 12, 2001

Very nice, indeed! I don't think I've ever seen any Filipino hand made tanto balis before today. I really like the weehawk tanto.

Phillip · Jan 12, 2001

Love that wee hawk tanto!!

WrongFriend · Jan 12, 2001

They are nicely done! Even with tanto blade, they look still traditional FHMs. Great.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I would also like to get your opinion on what other blade styles you would like to see on an fhm? If you have any diagrams, that would extremely help since it's really hard to describe the blade styles to the makers, and i'm no expert.

KentDog · Jan 12, 2001

I like unique looking blade styles (like the "rambo" blade). I would like to see a blade with some 'recurve'. An example would be the Emerson Commander. I also like the look of blood grooves.

Sabo · Jan 13, 2001

I love HMF's!! Especially yours!

Post updated pics of those Tantos when you can.

Regards,

Sabo 29

Bat, I would love to get my hands on one of the wee hawk tantos.
I also agree with KentDog in that I would like to see one with a recurve blade, and also would like to see a Spanish Bowie style.

Thanks for the kind words.

I need to thank Chuck, since i used the blade profile illustration from his site, http://www.balisongcollector.com/profiles.html .

Next in line is the scimitar and the deep belly bowie.

Just curious though ...

how much the range price of these FHM Tanto? For my reference if I run into these in town.
