Thank you so much Nevil. Saw a post from you after a long time

TC I happened to find this interesting balisong lying around. Got it from a guy in the Philippines, no markings; nice brass work and the grips are peculiar, lots of character.

I don't know much about knives - what do you think of this example? Would appreciate your feedback.

TCda,

Words fail me after seeing those pics.

Meanwhile, I can only hope that the shin gunto is in safe hands.

Somehow I missed this post when it came out.
Good stuff ..... and I commend you on your patience and perseverance on getting this collection together.

Hi TC
Was travelling around a bit but always make it a point to log in and read posts by so many like minded people. This has become a routine of sorts
Cheers
PS love some of the hand guns you have.

Kalyan Da,

Thats a wonderful balisong you have. Completely handmade, brass liners, brass pins and genuine stag panels in the grip. The blade is hammer forged the traditional way it seems.

This is a collector's piece. Save it

Thanks Katana for the kind words,
Coming from a man who himself makes wonderful blades, I am humbled

The shun gunto is in the safest hands I could find on Indian soil. He won't let it out of his sight.
Actually I am completely overhauling my collection... the types, the periods etc.

Thanks for appreciating the handguns

Thanks for the feedback TC - I think you just made my day My butter is singing and my bali is flying!
I now look forward to your 'up-coming surprises'

Hi Kalyan,
> I too acquired a "Balisong" while in Manila - Very similar to the one you have, however the blade profile is a bit different...
> The shop owner taught me how to flip open it with one hand - quite an art

TC, great collection! You have many areas/cultures/types represented -- so diverse! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much Timmy,
You have rightly observed. The only unity in this diversity is the word "blade" I guess

Its been a while since I changed my focus a bit. May come up with some surprises soon.

Best

TC
