Happy New Year, y'all! Mastodon is really sick, but unfortunately nobody from the #balisong community seems to use it :(
Follow me on Bluesky instead: https://bsky.app/profile/remshi.bsky.social
i have obtained a balisong trainer, and since actual balisong knives are illegal in my state, that's as far as I intend to go with it
but damn is it already fun. and it has a paw design!
gonna be adding some nice new dents in the floors tho..
I was today years old when I found out that the founder of the #Benchmade Knife Company was a #Filipino American. Les de Asis (1957-2020) was a Filipino and Portuguese American entrepreneur from Los Angeles who popularized the Filipino #balisong knife, which originated in Batangas, in the US. His company is now regarded as one of the top knife manufacturers in the world.
I am proud to own 3 Benchmade knives: a 190 Drop Point Hunter and matching 192 Bird & Trout, and a 100RR River & Rescue.
Also, Kuno preorders are still open! Check out this video showcasing my personal unit, modded by @b.a.balis on Instagram: https://youtube.com/shorts/S-2ci286J50
(Ano not included, all first production units will be raw tumbled Ti)
Pro tip: You can "stack" washers to convert a .03" washer #balisong to AKS steel washers! Just put an additional .01" washer on each side, between the handle and steel washer :)
.01 + .02 = .03 ๐ quick maths
