REDUCED TO $75 FOR THE PAIR or $40 EACH.
These 20+ year old balisong knives are pre-ban Japanese imports, probably from the same factory out of Seki Japan, for different US distributers. (i love this stuff)Identical blade profiles, identical embssed brass handle slabs, and latches. The first one is a Taylor (older tang stamp) with the tang firmly stamped "TAYLOR®" over "SURGICAL JAPAN" on one side, and Taylors model #"CS-136G" on the other. The knife is razor sharp, swings freely, and is in new condition.
Very hard to find, wonderful piece of balisong history. $65 conus $55 conus
same knife, imported for Valor of Miami, Florida USA. is in near mint condition. (two tiny chips in edge, can be seen in pics under Japanese symbols. Easily removed with a few swipes of a sharpening stone) This is the "VALOR SINGAPORE" Ifrom the early to mid eighties. The razor sharp blade is clearly etched "SINGAPORE" in front of some Japanese symbols, and the tang is firmly stamped "VALOR" over "MIAMI USA" on one side, and "440 STAINLESS" over "552 JAPAN" on the other. Another very hard to find, wonderful piece of balisong history. $65 conus $55 conus
take both for $115 conus both for $100 conus
paypal or postal MO's please. thanks for looking.
