When I was Chief Boatswain's Mate on the USS O'Bannon I got this knife from the Chief Boatswain on the Rastoropny, which is a Russian destroyer. I got him some chewing tobacco from our ship's store and he in turn gave me this knife. Hopefully you can get some idea of it's size in the photos, with the Sebenza 25 and my hand, which barely fits in XL gloves.

What is it and where can i get one
dare I ask for the specs? I think yes. That'll put all CS XL folders to shame. Now, that's a phenomenon.
It's a balisong. I don't have any idea where you'd get one, I got it in the Philippines several years ago.
15" closed, 32" OAL. I have no idea of its weight or the steel used .
