Project Bali

Post by FivePointOh »

Got a good deal on a BM 43A to use as a doner for my modified bali project.
This bali is in pristeen condition and It's gonna be tough taking the Dremel to it. :shock:
I already removed the t-latch. Next is to remove the the handle ends and polish smooth.
Stay tuned for the finished Frankenbali.

Well, the other day I was looking at the blade and wondering what I could do to it to make it different. As I rotated and turned it over in my hands, it hit my thumb and took out a nice little chunk of flesh. A lot of people say the Tach is sharp, well these 43's are just as, if not sharper. I laid my ring finger open with my first 43. I think I will tape the live edge of the blade when working on it. Don't want to loose a finger! :)

As for what I have planed, nothing is concrete yet. One step at a time.
