This one's been in my collection a long time. Very similar to the one featured on the cover of Ragnar Benson and Michael Janich's "Switchblade" book. Early Darrel Ralph custom balisong. This is the only DDR knife I've had in my collection because this is his best design in my opinion. Excellent balance, weight and dynamics. This knife is everything DDR did right with balisongs. A great-looking knife, the morse code handles just 'work' in both form and function. Titanium handles, sandwich construction, textured latch. In as-new original condition with original pouch. Has been lightly handled some over the years, just to look at it, but never flipped, used or carried. A great collectors item as an early DDR piece. His designs are definitely part of modern balisong history and this is his best design in my opinion. $550 shipped. Ppal is fine
