I am just sharing. I can stop.
I 4 ordered, one for Feb, March, May and Sept. That is all folks.
Not for flipping. They are designed for opening and stabbing. No other purpose.
This is a custom knife made by Terry Guinn. This is numbered 6 and I believe there are only 15 that exist. The handles are steel and the hinges are IKBS. The contour is like a Szabofly but the knife is as functional as it is unique and beautiful. There is an elongated finger guard making this a formidable fighting knife if necessary but something this high end would not be an Every Day Carry Knife. The blade to me, looks like a Scimitar and it's a work of art! The etching is gorgeous.
Aside from aesthetics, this has one of the most unique closing mechanisms. It utilizes magnets to lock in the open and closed positions. Despite the weight, due to the smoothness of IKBS, it is a great flipper. It takes a few practice attempts to determine its intrinsic momentum given the field strength of the magnetic latches. It took a few attempts to get the guy to do a Y2K or helix since you have to actuate the handles beyond the gravity of the magnet.
This is an AWESOME balisong and it utilizes the art of a Persian or Asian style knife with the modern technology of IKBS and invisible Magnetic closure.
This is a BAD ASS KNIFE!!!

$300. I have seen them list for as high as $325. Once discontinued, I see them selling for no less than $400. The $120 trainers are going for $450-$500.
I have slowed down.
I have others that I didn't post.
I have a few customs ordered made by Chris Olofson( 29 knives) Scimitar/Carbon Fiber, Rick Haney Taipan, Dalton, Matt Cook Titanium/Cocobolo and a Nathan Dewey Scimitar/Ti handles.

I postponed my purchase of the Twist for a BM 15020 Bone Collector (just a great blade, I really love it). A Bali is still on the horizon, but I had to prioritize an upcoming Kabar kukri purchase. 
You definately have a passion CDR. It's an honor to see your collection.
Ha! You should know. You have most of them.

Hahahaha!
If you re-read the evolution of my thoughts in this thread, I didn't care for them at first. Now I have 42. That's funny!
I may be selling off a few and keeping a few. I am undecided.

Always nice to find an Easter Egg. Nice pickups!
