Terry Guinn

[Linos]

[kizuf]

Linos, I had no idea you're over there! Since 2005, dang!

Basically guys, it's a balisword by Terry Guinn with partial "crocodile teeth" saw serrations that he put together with a hammer just for fun it seems.

I hope he doesn't mind, feel free to PM me Mr Guinn if you wanted to keep it over there. If you guys think it's not in good taste to share his pictures that he posted, just let me know in a PM.

Always wanted to make a big one. :skullreaper: Been working on it for awhile, making it up as I went.
12" of A2 blade from pivots to tip, 12" of SS handles.
Since the blade stuck out of the end of handles I had to come up with special latch. I definitely wanted a latch so Conan would be able to throw it like a spear or hang it on his saddle....:pileofskulls:
Screws?....there was no screws in the days of lore....
I/4" pivot pins, 5/16" bushings.
Extra support standoffs about midway of the handles to eliminate handle flex. Part of the reason for the teeth, to allow clearance for the extra standoffs.

Some of the rough parts got left rough, some of the smooth parts got textured or hammered.
I am pleased with how it turned out, minimum play in the pivots for being hammered together. I am so pleased I may start hammering them all together....:haha:

:fireworks:

It's kind of cool to see the hardcore knifemakers let loose sometimes

Haha, I got very interested what's the bali about and then supervisor showed up so my post was in hurry and not exactly polite or elaborated if that's what you are implying...
Anyway, on forums I seek information that actually reduces the entropy so thanks Chris for providing the description although I can't see the pics.

He makes such gorgeous knives. I hope I can get a custom or two made by him some day.

Hey now... that forum is where I come from.

that is pretty damn sick. I have been getting an itch for a balisword to chomp on shit with.

Balisword had got to be way better than a busse

Whoa whoa whoa... NOTHING is better than a Busse if we're talking about just the knives.

I prefer Bark River to Busse just because they actually sell knives and ship them out when you order them lol. I hear the maker is on JD.

Keep in mind that Terry built this for himself USING A HAMMER, this is by no means representative of his typical quality... which is god-tier.

Mike is that true??

I heard it too

[Killerstephen]

The Bravo 1 or 2 is on my short list of must buy knives. Id be happy with either one really, both look pretty awesome to me.

Well if he IS on here, I'd like to him to know that BRKT is the reason I don't really buy custom fixies. If they got a little more "tacticul" then I'd buy even more.

heh heh.

[SlightChance]

Yea I was kidding. I only have one busse right now and a few busse-kin.

I love my BRKT city knife.

It is the only fixed blade I use off of the farm.

Looks medieval.
