3 inch or less Bali?
Is there such a thing as a ready made 3" or less bali? I saw an earlier post that suggested the morpho might make it under, but that's apparently not true...

Hey Dave.. ...Hiya....
I have to assume you are asking for legal reasons.., and yeah it's true the "Morpho" probably wouldn't weigh in at under 3" if someone wants to pop you for a weapons violation in jurisdictions that are not Bali-Friendly. The actual cutting edge of the piece is roughly 2.87.., but if measured across the tang/ricasso area to the top of the handles it's closer to 3.25 (which is how it's done in Bali-Hating jurisdictions). As far as "Ready Made"..., I may be understanding you incorrectly, but to [ME].., that means "Production Knife".., and I don't know of any commonly produced Balisong that's manufactured that's under the 3" standard. You can certainly have one made.., but of course a custom knife is going to run you probably triple what a machine ground high quality piece would cost. Why?? ~~> It's really not any easier for the maker to produce a little one as a standard size model.., so you are paying for the "set-up" and labor.., more so than the materials....(i.e., Time + Plus materials + Profit Margin). The good news.., is there are a few guys out there that will take an order for such a knife, but the cost could be prohibitive depending on what you want to spend. __________________ Pete Johnston ~~> ExamonLyf@aol.com "There is no greater wisdom.., than [KINDNESS]" "Hunters seek what they [WANT].., Seekers hunt what they [NEED]" |

Yes, I'm looking for a production knife. Guess I'll have to take the risk with the blade length...
Thanks for the quick response! Dave |

I actually have a wallet I carry the "Morpho" in daily (because I can clip it in).., and I really don't think any reasonable LEO is going to see the knife as a "Bad Guy" deal (and I live in So California) ~~> where some pencils are illegal... Really a terrific little knife.., and the D2 bladesteel is definitely a plus for daily cutting chores. They did a really nice heat treat on those blades, so I think you're OK with that decision Dave. __________________ Pete Johnston ~~> ExamonLyf@aol.com "There is no greater wisdom.., than [KINDNESS]" "Hunters seek what they [WANT].., Seekers hunt what they [NEED]" |
