All my handmade balis
I'm keeping and carrying #1. Balis #2 and #3 are totally finished and ready for sale. Bali #4 just needs some finishing work on the handle scales and a latch.

Re: All my handmade balis
Back then, maybe a month... Now, still a month but I get more than one done. Half of that time is going to and coming from heat treatment.
Call me if you have any questions. Those were my first 4 made. I have a milling machine now and am building my 19th Bali.

Nicely done, I agree the black Carbon fiber looks great.
