When I compare it to a solid handled Basilisk, it is thinner and narrower in the handles.
The blades are identical since I don't like serrations.
The solid handled Basilisk is smooth and quiet. The skeletonized Basilisk is easier to flip but noisier. No surprise there, eh?
I love them both equally. They are superior flippers.
Overall, either one works well in their own right. Get one of each! You'll feel a difference. One is not superior. Just different. Weight difference is negligible.
This is truly and amazing knife! I cannot speak highly enough about it.

[QUOTE=Tricklaj;9199130]I'm guessing he isn't taking anymore orders? Or is it an unimaginable wait? The basilisk was going to be my next investment but it looks like I'm screwed![/QUOTE]
Unless he finds a supplier, there won't be anything for a long while. That's too bad. He makes a nice product.
BY DA WAY:
Here is a comparison between the skeletonized and Morpho. I thought, before acquiring the Basilisk, "They look the same to me. Who cares???" Then I got one, and now I know. Superficially, they look alike but that's where the similarities end.
If you get the opportunity to find one, or see one fall from the Heavens, grab it and RUN. RUN FAST. KEEP IT. Don't ever get rid of it.
Both are gorgeous. I like the Jeweled Titanium Liner more.
Thicker channel due to thicker spacer but thinner G10:
The guards are superior on the Basilisk:
Aggressive edge on the Basilisk:
See how much thicker the blade on a Basilisk is compared to a Morpho?
