As many of you may have discovered by reading the thread posted earlier this week: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=180235 Larry Davidson and I have a balisong in the works. It is still in the early phases but it promises to be an excellent balisong.
I had originally approached Larry to make me just a blade and I was going to have Mer make me a set of handles to fit, but Larry decided that a balisong was something that he would like to construct completely and we began to come up with ideas.
The blade style is going to be base on his Avenger model with its agressively sexy profile and its excellent cutting ability. This balisong is designed to be a tactical model so the handles will be skeletonized Ti or with inserts, but they will have a uniquely Davidson look to them. As I said, it is still in the early stages so there are no actual pictures to show you, but I can show you the blade profile being used.
With Larry making balisongs in the US, many of those who worry about breaking the law by importing a custom will have no fear to order from Larry. Let us hear what you guys think, the more support there is for this project, the faster it may become a reality for everyone.
