Ive been checking out your work since I gotten deeper into balisongs 2thumbs
I would love to own one someday
 
thank you for the insparation and eye candy
you helped fuel my addiction:)
if i remember correctly your balis are some of the first custom balis i saw.
since i was little ive been interested in balis however not exposed to them, i had/have my first bali keychain that i got 10-15yrs ago. just recently i have started to flip, collect, modify and someday make balis. i like all the different shapes and sizes of balisongs. my collection/resources is small/limited due to rough times i am limited with what i can do right now.
im still trying to talk my wife into letting me get a couple spots for your bali on JD :bud:
 
The talk with wife is rarely easy about knive :D

If you need advice of idea to make your own balisong with not a lot of tool. You will find the two tutorial i did about the topic. And you can ask me here or by PM. I will answer you by pleasure :D
 
thank you very much 2thumbs

before i got another bali i was actually checking out your tutorials thinking about making a bali instead of buying one first.

so far i have a lot of ideas but few resources(i have a dremel, some hand tools, design experience(know Acad pretty good), and have always been mechanically inclined

i have been doing mods to my Mtech Twist, i would like to make the handles wider by adding pieces of (1/8inch) material the same shape as the handles but i am having problems with; what material, drilling the holes and findins new hardware that will work. once i am happy with it i will post some pics either here and/or at a couple other forums

finding the right sized pins seems to be a big issue for me along with heat treating

oh this :bud: is me talking to my wife
but i may steal from my (small)knife fund that she doesnt know about to get in on your JD balisong (my second chance to get a bali you made so i feel i need to at least try this time)

Those are some if the coolest little balis I have ever seen. What is the price range on the smallest ones ie; the one you show with the Kydex neck sheath or the forged file blades?
