First Time Bali

Post by cleancut »

Gentleman:
I was looking at the Bali blog and some of the work being done here is outstanding.Balibalistic has got it going on,his work is fantastic. Any way I was inspired to throw my hand in the Bali ring so to speak and this is what I came up with.
OAL - 9''
Closed - 51/2
Blade - O1, length 41/2'' X 1/8 ''
Brass and stainless handles with Coco bola inserts
As always I had fun making it but you really need to put some thought into these there not as easy as I though it would be.
