A balisong with a bowie knife profie 
This one was a good challenge for me. I had never milled titanium before, but I did on this one. I started with .204 titanium and milled a dovetail into the handles and inlayed lightning strike carbon fiber in into them. The weight of the bali is 5 oz. The elmax blade is 4 1/8". I have been using a thrust bearing system on the last few balis I have made and they flip effortlessly. It was a fun project for me.
