...wouldn't that kill your hand?

I have a small scar on my index finger from laying myself open flipping the SS handled Kris blade (wavy dagger) when I first got it... It does have a small 'safe' area at the base of the blade. If you look closely at said blade, you'll notice the concave 'dip' in it, which is not sharpened... that side of the blade begins it's razor edge (no exaggerating, it's hollow ground) at about the middle of the convex 'bump.' In order to flip it without getting bit, you have to choke-up on the handle. I started to get comfortable and my hand slid down just enough to get stung!
The Spear point bali in the picture has a false edge from the factory... that can easily be sharpened with the right tools.
If you like carbon fiber, Benchmade offers some real nice stuff!
The 941D2CF 170/500 (top) is a special run BM just did that you might still be able to get-in on... the 31-02 06/50 (bottom) might also still be available, but the 31-0x series is kinda pricey for an EDC (every day carry)... the benchmade site is the place to check for the latest offerings, and the forum is the place to ask about them
FivePointOhh ...is that a Pacific Cutlery era balisong? How long have you had that? Very nice!!
That could very well be worth more than you paid for it! ...worth checking into, btw
