Bali handle material
I was wondering what would be better for making handles for a balisong.., C360 brass, 6061 aluminum or stainless steel? Also some pro's and con's of each

Stainless steel and brass. I don't enjoy the aluminium. Titanium is even better than the other 
. G10 and micarta are great too but lighter and less strong than metal.

You know, it's just a pipe-dream, but I'd love to see a palladium handled balisong
This is the magic incantation congress uses to constantly violate the 10th Amendment - "...the manufacture, sale, transportation, distribution, possession, or introduction into interstate commerce of such shall be prohibited"
Re: Bali handle material
Titanium was a first choice but I cannot find an inexpensive source. If anyone can point me in the direction or some titanium for a good price...otherwise think I will go with the brass.
