Hey, I'm a fan. I have ~12 or so of these fine, intriguing, beauties. My only demascus knife is an 11" butterfly, with a tanto style blade. The one's over at SKM are sweet and unlike any I've ever seen.
I've been eyeballing a one-of-a-kind Phillipene made monster. This thing is about 14" closed, and put together very well. When the knife is closed, the part of the blade that sticks out the top, is an eagle spreading its wings...very cool. Opened, it's almost a sword. $225 asking price...I don't know if I'm nuts for contemplating it's purchase, or nuts for planning on jumping on this one the next chance I get. I think I need therapy. What do you think?

Ice Dog,
How would you flip this monster?
Is it the same "knife" as the 'Batangas Bali-sword' on Knifezilla?
If it is, I imagine it would be a workout to flip 3 pounds of bali...
Do you own any of the SKM balis? If so, I'd be very interested in a review...
I might (MIGHT) be getting one along with the famous IHT knife.

oh, and yes, I think you need therapy

That would be THE one. The bastid at the knife show told me it was a one-of-a -kind....oh well, I'm still learning.Mr_Guano wrote:Is it the same "knife" as the 'Batangas Bali-sword' on Knifezilla?
$200 doesn't seem too bad for that (good quality) knife. The size and craftsmanship is very appealing to me...Thats my kinda knife!
I don't know how one would flip such a monster, but with a piece of hardware such as that, I don't imagine technique is too important.
