Balisong #2: 5160, cow bone and nickel silver

**Ruben Calo** · 10-06-2007, 06:24 PM

3 3/8" blade (2 3/4" edge) in diferentially heat treated handrubbed 5160 - 5/32" thickness. 7 7/8" opened, 4 1/2" closed.
Stainless steel stopping pins and (fileworked) liners. Cross shaped engraved stainless steel pins.
Dovetailed polished cow bone scales with engraved nickel silver bolsters. Nickel silver latch.

As always, 100% hand made with the tools you see on my workshop.

Smooth action and well balanced for flipping (steel and nickel silver get a nice weight)

At a request of the buyer, I've made a sheath for it

Top Shelf Ruben. Very clean

Ruben, it's your signature look - slightly rustic with artistic flair. Really nice.

Now that we're done making nice over how pretty, how's she move?

It flips really well and smooth

New owner will probably get it on his hands tomorrow, I bet he likes it!

I can't eait to see what Ruben has in mind for the remaining 3 bali blades he has already profiled!

man this thing is unbelievable. pure quality and absolutely gorgeous... Ruben has gone over the top with detail. The horizontal sheath was a great idea, it fits right behind my lower back, slips in and out easily and the play on this knife is tight, firm, with good weight for flicking.

Thanks Ruben.

Hey Jason!

Do you know Ruben or see him on a regular basis? If so, do me a favor. Look him in the eye, shake his hand and give him a message from me, "Thanks!"
