Bali-Song Knife Co. Early Prod. 1979/80 Bali-Song Butterfly Knife With Ivory Micarta Handles.

This rare example remains in Near Mint condition. The 154cm blade appears to have the original edge. The etched butterfly on the 4" blade indicates earliest production and was hand ground by master bladesmith Jody Sampson. All is tight with no wobble when locked up. The beautiful Ivory Micarta handles are mint with no cracks or chips. It does appear that the bolsters have been cleaned. Not unusual for a 40 year old knife considering brass does tarnish. The main outer frames do appear untouched though. The factory original black leather scabbard shows no signs of wear. It appears that the knife was carried very little, if at all. The Bali-Song Butterfly logo is embossed on the front. In addition, the knife and scsabbard are accompanied by vintage early pamphlets, price list, brochures when founder Lester de Asis was offering only the one style Bali-Song Butterfly Knife! Overall a rare knife with original mint examples now commanding upwards of $1500. Asking price is $1150 Add $18 for Priority Insured Mail. Offers Accepted
