Description
The Filipino name for what we call a butterfly knife. Bali-Song... Bali-Sword? Feels that way!This is one of those things you can hand to people and they'll start giggling hysterically.
Fun project. Details on request.

Possibly. I'm contemplating re-working the grip a bit. As it is, it's very bulky, and frankly a little uncomfortable in the hand. As it is, it's a lot of fun to play with, but not particularly fun to actually use.
What I would do is carve out the center/sides to expose the center of the blade, which would make the handles for a sort of I-shape when open -easier and more stable to hold. If I do that, I would bring it up to a semi-mirror finish. And probably remove the home-made rivets and install professional butterfly knife barrel hinges. =/
But at the moment I'm only contemplating it. This is a "finished enough" project, I've moved on to a few others.

hee hee. More like lay them open.
It's 6" closed, 10" open, with the blade being 4.5" long and a solid 1.5" wide. It's a freaking monster.
I made it because I was sick and tired of seeing dinky little stiletto blades on butterfly knives. Worse, *single edged* blades! The point of the bali-song is to be able to safely carry a double edged blade in a folding knife. If you want anything else, pick another knife!
I was inspired by my old boss, an old Filipino guy, who told me stories about how almost everyone made their own bali-song back in the Philippines. I figured if he could, I could too. I ground the blade out of a blank -just because I was tired of forging blades at that point- and folded the grips out of 1/8" plate. The rest was trial and error.
