New To Me -Old Bali

Post by LGustin »

Picked up a few knives at a local auction and one of them was unmarked Bali. It’s seen better days, it’s mostly brass with thin plastic scales. It’s pretty sharp. If you recognize what it might be I would like to know a little more about it.

Looks like an old Balisong, don't recall who made them but I had one similar way back when. Gave it to the old bear and I think he sent it Stray dog for a rehab.

An old Filipino Balisong, native made, possibly from the town/city of Taal.
