Tanto Benchmade Balisong

Cpt. Howdy · Nov 13, 2000

Does anyone have any pics of these? I heard it's hard to find now as it's out of production. Anybody have one they would like to sell? I love tanto blades!

TIA,

I have one on my belt right now. Sorry not for sale. This by far the scariest bali that I have ever seen. 1/2 serrated blade 9 1/2 inches from tip to tail, razor sharp. I call this one my "chicken ripper" cause all the guys I work with fight cocks and you should see the knives and gaffs those chickens run around with. A guy needs a little protection. Legal or not. Have a nice day

Mr. Gollnick had some great pics of a custom tanto with snakewood handles at www.balisongcollector.com. Make sure you also check out the links at lews page, one of the linked pages has pics of custom Elishewitz tantos also.

I would give one my right arm for that 69 if I did not need it to flip it.

What would be a reasonable asking price for these?

I would give my right nut, since I only need one and don't need it to flip with!

(well maybe not..)

Well, I hope to someday acquire a tanto bali as I love these blades. I just bought a BM 722s, and although it's not a balisong, it's a beautiful tanto blade and well have to do for now
