Bali Passaround Feeler

**silkworm** · 07-27-2011, 03:07 PM

So it seems the Bali-Bros can't get their act together for a passaround. Anyway, I have a few balis I'm willing to host for a passaround, per the JD rules, I just need to know what you guys want to get your hands on.

Here's a list:

BM 51
BM 53
BM 239
Roton Recurve Bowie
Pandayan Utility
Kimura 2
CS AA Clip Point

These knives are used and flipped to some degree so I don't mind if you guys have a field day playing with them - just be responsible...i.e. if you're going to push the envelope of you flipping prowess don't do it over your concrete driveway. Anyway if things pan out maybe they'll all get passed around at some point - I leave it up to you...

Post away with your votes.

This is not the sign up list just a feeler thread.

We'll keep the actual passaround short and sweet at 5 spots for 2 weeks each or 10 spots at a week each. So if things start out slow, if I can just get just five guys (or so) to agree on one knife we'll start there and I'll post up the official sign up thread.

Never handled a CS before so that's what I voted for. but I'm interested in most of them

Never handled or used a bali before. Keep considering jumping on one to see what the craze is all about would really like the opportunity to check one out and seeing if I am into it before dropping any coin on one. As far as model, whichever one you feel the most comfortable letting others use.

I'd honestly love to try out an AA and see how it compares to some of the other top balis for flipping.

fuck-shit! the last passaround fell through so I REALLY want in on this one

Personally I like the Pandayan, but I'd be happy to flip a AA or a Roton too

Just don't pick a Benchmade, I know the 51s popular, but everybody whos into balis has used one. and the K2 has no place on that list

The AA sounds good, but isn't it a carbon blade that can rust? Just something to consider.

I'd like to try the Roton, heard they are built like tanks so a pass around would be perfect for that knife.
