Smile Couple of Strider/Davidson Prototype Balis

These came in today from Mr. Davidson. The design of these are based on the Strider NM folder, which is quite cool itself, but we all know it is cooler as a bali. As far as manipulation, the safe handle is the small one, and the tang is a bit long...takes some getting used to. Larry Davidson makes a really good knife, and they are both super smooth with very little blade play. Well, check 'em out.

This one was a hard one to keep secret. Larry let in on the concept when it was almost complete, and it certainly came out pretty close to perfect. Larry reserved #3 for me as Proto #1 and #2 were reserved for Josh at Strider.

I'm glad Mick and Duane OK'd this project, so there will be more of these..

Tony is on vacation Swing, so I feel it's my duty to step up for him and say "Prove it!"

Hey, I got that straight from Larry at the time. Things have been known to change when people ask nicely....
