Dobruski's Project Charlie!

[MicroFanatic]

From Mauricio Dobruski's Project balis (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie) - this one is Project Charlie, a 15 piece run from 2004. It is my favorite of the Project balis - something about the multi-faceted aggressive looking tanto blade along with the nicely mirrored angled bolsters that just captivates me. The fit and finish is outstanding - back of the satin blade is sharpened :kingkaxt: , grinds are dead-on and the grooved G10 scales are precisely fitted. I really like how Mauricio created his latch. If you look closely at the base handle pic you'll notice that the latch as well as the base of the safe handle is cut in such a way to prevent overtravel of the latch. Because of this, the interior/exterior of the channeled handles remain scratch free and the tip of the blade unharmed. A lot of thought and extra time was put into this often overlooked aspect of the balisong knife. Overall one GREAT piece of work from Mauricio!

Very elegant, I think I would have gone a touch darker shade of red but it is a sexy knife.

Dabird got it right, damn that knife is sexy, first description that came to my
mind.

I love the blade profile, and the red G10 scales, not only the coloring but i like
the grooves on them.
