Two Bali-Song, Inc. custom weehawks with blades ground by Jody Samson. Great Bali-Song knives. Superior milled stainless steel skeletonized handles, 1/2" thick. 3/16" blade stock. Awesome hollow grinds as only Jody could do. These knives are built to last. The real deal. Custom Bali-Song, Inc. balis are the classic Bali-Song. Get 'em while you can!
#1
This knife is in excellent condition with no flaws. It is a perfect example of custom Bali-Song, Inc. Samson weehawk. Tang cups and pin in perfect shape. Knife locks up solid in both open and closed positions. It sports the original edge and grind. The knife appears to have been lightly flipped, but the handles are not loose and there are only minimal scratches on the handles and latch.
This is an early Samson weehawk. These are special because the early Samsons had narrow boot grinds, matching his original weehawk boot knife design. Later blades he ground developed more belly. The absence of the ® by the butterfly logo also suggests early manufacture, a detail some collectors look for. The hollow grind on this knife is outstanding. $600 --> $585 shipped (SOLD)

This knife is like the first, but it has seen more use. Early period Samson weehawk from the Bali-Song, inc. custom shop. Knife locks up tight open and closed. Original edge and grind. This knife has scratches on the latch, some on the handles, and significant scratches on the front side of the blade. The reverse of the blade does not have the same scratches and is pretty pristine. The scratches on the front side of the blade appear as if the blade got two significant scratches/marrs on it, then someone attempted to clean those up by polishing but put a layer of thinner scratches over that area. The hollow grind is outstanding. $550 --> 515 --> $485 --> $475 --> $450 shipped!! (SOLD)
