Someone from All About Pocket knives AAPK wanted some pictures:
Close up of Warren Thomas, MD CALDWELL, Dalton, Darrel Ralph, and Les Voorhies:
Chili Brothers Habanera handles and Darrel Ralph Titanium/Tritium Handles
In the case:
I have two Basilisks coming in, as well as a 39 cm FHM Spearpoint.
I am about to buy another custom Bali with titanium liner and hardware with G10 scales/custom sheath. It's going to be gorgeous!

i hate you because I DON'T HAVE ONE.
Hard to find. I agree. 109 made. I may be getting a second one, but I would trade it for a special forces Dalton....
Back to more knives:
BM 42S:
I have a BM41MC coming but it would be hard to get rid of it...I love the Khukri blade.
I also have a Larry Davidson Damascus with Manta Ray Skin coming. Damascus has always intrigued me.
PIX coming soon.
Wait until I get my BM49...next week!
Here are what Bali Claus gave me:
41MC,39 cm FHM Spear, 42S and Larry Davidson Damascus
41MC
42S, Don't know if this is a Keeper, yet:
Larry Davidson
My Behemoth 39 cm FHM from Jay at Pinoy Steel:
I also got two trainers but one is for my Nephew and the other is just a Spyderfly trainer.

I am a big fan of Warren Thomas, after my good friend, Gunfighter123, opened my eyes to WTs work.
This is titanium with carbon and Carbide bonded to it. IKBS and titanium handles. It may kick the tritium/Titanium DDRs A$S.
Jan 11, 2011 (1/11/11): my baby will be coming home!
I have 3 panels in the case. I panel of customs is probably $6k. The productions are probably $5k with one from last night and the 49.
Basilisk and the Morpho
A few weeks ago, I asked the question about how these two are different or similar. Only in the most distant manner are they similar, a sandwich construction.
The basilisk has a stainless liner that is more substantive in weight. The spacer near the latch is what I feel gives the basilisk a distinct advantage for flipping, giving it a more even balance when flipping. The blade is thicker and workmanship is more refined. The curves of the upswept Bowie blade make it better suited for EDC AND Utility. The guards are thicker giving it a distinct advantage for fighting. The handles are more rounded and fuller giving the user more control, and I noticed that the G10 is thinner. The roller latch is easily actuated, and easier to pop up with a pinky, thumb flick...or by squeezing the handles.
The Morpho has a beautiful jeweled anodized titanium liner. It looks like it's iridescent namesake, the Morpho butterfly. It has a springlatch that is much easier to open than a Benchmade 4X series-taking less force and the force can be at any angle, as opposed to a 42, for example. It is lightweight making it forgiving for aerials and it is not as likely to cut you as a heavier balisong. The blade is razor sharp from the factory and it does have a lifesharp guarantee. The integrated titanium clip allows for easier EDC. Because it's lighter and the Balance is not in the end of the handles, it's not as easy to flip as a Kimura, Arc Angel, BM 4x or basilisk.
If you're given the opportunity to get a Basilisk, don't think, just buy it.
However, the Morpho is not to shabby, either.
