After Daune Weikum (Co-Moderator here, and owner of EDC Knives) arranged to have Flavio Ikoma and the Lala Brothers share their IKBS pivot system, the first knife has landed.., and Thank God ~~> not on my foot! :eek:

Another terrific exhibition of the attention Charles pays to form, function, fit, and finish on this piece..., and the IKBS pivots are soooooo smoooooooooooth!

9 3/16" OAL
4.25" ATS-34 Blade

Wonderful blade shape for utilitarian use, and of course nothing needs to be mentioned about sharp!! Mr. Marlowe threw one Hell of a screaming hollow grind on this guy!!!

Charles doesn't have time to make that many Balisongs, but I'd definitely recommend everyone picking one up when they are available.., really nice work!

I don't know if these are sold out yet.., but Duane would know if you shoot him an email.
