The Lala brothers have put some serious belly in between a pair of Palace handles, and look what happened:

In a similar approach taken when they designed their Model 3 Tanto, Korth took the [tip heavy] issue into consideration with the blade design and again came up with a winning solution. The belly is very much hollow ground, removing most of the weight up front. Considering this is a slasher not a poker, I think it works out quite nicely! http://fototime.com/488EA350AC0C509/orig.gif

I never tought the handle design would grow on me, but it actually did. I like this one.

Great job to the Lala brothers.

Great looking profile D..., I wondered when the Lalas would take a crack at a Scimitar. No need to wonder anymore huh... :)

That knife holder shown in picture #2, how do i get some, or somethign similar like that for knife display.

I don't think those guys could make an ugly knife if they tried.

Holy ****....

Now that is somthing spectacular right there. That bali is extremely nice.... Love that blade and using the palace style handles too. Great looking bali.... WOW!!!

*whistle* Shi-ZAM! Those handles are growing on me too. I liked them the first time, but now I'm loving them. That beefy blade does a lot to visually balance itself with the handles too.
