like benny said \/\/()\/\/

can you give us a view of the whole knife, and for those of us who aren't familiar with the typhoon, a little info on it - is this from the same company that does the balisong kits?

Check AB/SKM under "New Age Autos" for the Typhoon.

Benny,
Makes a guy want get into it dosen't it? That is really some nice work. I kinda got out of the mood for doing the file work for a while, but seeing that blade
gave me a boost. Thanks for sharing this.

Hey Mr. Bigg,
Make sure you have the thin cut off disks to use before you use the rounds or any file.

hey mr claudster - do you mean the this, purply pinky colored ones?
for doing the small coves and rounds do you use a diamond coated bit?

also what do you guys ude for sanding and polishing with a dremel?

Hey Mr. Bigg,
The disks I use are almost black and very thin. Theres about 25 of them in a little container. I mark my steel with permanent marker where the rounds would go on both sides. Then I take the dremel with the cut off disks and make a small notch where the round will be. This is only done so the file will not slip. Then I do my rounds, I use the two size files they make for chain saw sharpening. I have nothing that says anyting about diamonds.
Hope this helps!

ok, i have really done it now! butchered up a "rare" herbertz balisong!

this is no where near nice, but a quick and rough try at it! these balisongs are so rare,
but i still have a few banging around my junk drawer

i know where i went wrong on this one (everywhere) so hopefully my second try will improve!

Hey Mr. BIGG,
Why do do like to beat yourself up? I think your knife came out GREAT! You got more guts than me though, I'm still doing clones and kit Mikovs. What do you think is wrong with the blade?
