New Moon Custom Balisongs Taking Shape

Hey all, just wanted to post some photos of some new Balisongs taking shape in the Moon shop.  These are custom blades out of CPM 154 with the exception of the utility drop point which is S30V.  These are being made in response to the overwhelming demand for the USA Knifemaker Kit Bali's which are currently being made out of unobtainium.


These are NOT kit knife blades but one's I've profiled myself.  The blade shapes are all pretty much unique to me... the three pointing right from top to bottom are a utility drop point, a slicer-khukri and a recurve bowie.  The two pointing left from top to bottom are a double clip recurve bowie and a recurve utility.  Should help ease the demand for a relativly affordable custom Balisong, provided I can figure out a relativly easy way to attach the handles.  I'm breaking carbide bits drilling the Ti for the handles like Rosie O'Donnell breaks wicker chairs.  I may go with barrel standoffs but we'll see.  So far they're looking good.
