Thank you .

I haven't work at all since sunday, but i check between the blade between the handle. The back is perfect, but the main grind is not straight (the steel wasn't straight and the hardening wrapped it a bit

I will try to straighen it a bit with the grinder and i hope to succeed to avoid the point to hit the handle.... i won't have the problem with my aluminium plate now..... I should have wait a bit before to make the heat treatment of that special grind

Day 6 : 2 hours of work

I take the space between the two part of the handle at the pivot.

I cut the spacer more or less at the good size.

I filed a bit (i used a strong piece of steel reamed to the size of the pivot to be sure to have something straight. After i polished the filed part.

It's at the good size

With a paint mask adhesive, i protect the blade, i draw my logo.

I cut with a scalpel the logo

I electro etched the steel with a salted solution

Second pre build

I sharpened the main edge

I sharpened the second edge

Buffer

That is almost done






I think i will name it Devilish ScissorHand Balisong or if you have better idea



My blade is wrapped.... I didn't succed to solve now the problem.... A The top of the point strike the handle .... I will try to solve it with a bit larger spacer. Maybe with 3-4/10 longer one that will be ok

I'm hesitating to burned the handle in the oven at 1000°c in order to see the color that i would have .

There will be better picture of that one soon when i will have loctited everything and when the cold rolling of the bearing will be ok



For now a small video it flip really better than i would have thought.

The weight is 160g

I got to admit I didnt like the idea of the blade at first but after a while I felt like this "". But now that I see it all said and done, I love it. You did an amazing job. Keep up the good work.

Thank you

I really like the notches that you put on the blades spine. But that could be hazardous while flipping.
