That grind.... absolutely beautiful. Keep us posted!

[balibalistic]

I don't often hand rub the tantos because its difficult to blent the finish with multi angles,but I promised Ron I would pimp it so......... Now I quickly rub out the grind lines before grinding the rest. It's keeps the grinds a lot sharper., I think

[supersuby]

Damn that's sexy

[calvinnation]

Ohhhhh Man! That rocks!

[RazorSharp]

Watching it all come together Shawn sure gives a guy more of an appreciation of the skill and work it takes to put out a truly amazing piece. Hard to believe that all started as sheets of metal all hand cut and worked with basic tools in comparison of today's world of water jets and CNC machines.

My hat is off to you bro!

Yeah mine's off to you too... that bali, like all that I have seen by you so far, are downright beautiful.... I still can't get over that grind though

Usually, only noobtards quote with pictures, but "Ron" approves and agrees! (Also appreciates!)

You are getting one sweet Bali there

[balibalistic]

Glad Ron approves!!

Thanks you guys! I'm just posting the odd picture here and there. There really is quite a bit involved with building bails from scratch. One of these days I will document every step for you's to see.

I did try water jet once and wasn't happy with the results so I went back to doing it all myself in my shop. That way I have full control over the entire process. One day I hope I can afford and have room for a nice Bridgeport mill

I would love that, cause I have been very seriously considering dropping a big chunk of cash on a bunch of equipment like yours, considering I would be making (or try to be making) similar stuff as you do. Thumbs up for a full wip thread!

If you start making balisongs and they're quality.... PM me. From what i've seen in your flipping i think you'd make a nasty balisong with the right tools and if you have the skill for it

Hollow grinding at it's finest!

Man,I would start out with very basic tools,before dropping a bunch of cash on stuff. That way you can learn what you might make better use of,you know?
