(ikbs) proto#2

After trying my first (ikbs) bali,i decided i'd need to make some changes in order to use my current handle style with bearings.I decided to cut races into the handles aswell as the blade.so far i think its going to work just fine for me

This is just a little one! kind of a gentlemens bali..,with the user in mind ofcourse!!

Blade: ATS-34
Liners: 304 SS .075" thick
Overlays: ivory g-10
Latch: ats-34
Spacers: ats-34 hardened
Just over 2" of cutting edge.i used a 10" wheel to grind the blade...but i got the 8"er back now .anyway have a look!!

looks great mate.
im planning to make my first balli this saturday so its great to see more of your work as inspiration. mine will have a bottle opener instead of a blade though.
Have you got a website where i can see some of your others?
