The Blade420 Collection

Photography by Balislinger. Shots taken in Dec '05 and Jan '06

Blade420 is a well-known balisong collector and, in addition to his high-end pieces, he posesses one of the best collections of 1980's import balisongs. The 1980's saw a heyday of fairly well-constructed, reasonably priced balisongs, mostly from Japan, from companies such as Valor, Parker, Taylor, Frost, and Compass Industries. Blade420 has added balisongs from around the world such as from Germany, Scandinavia, and Pakistan, making for a very interesting and ecclectic collection, and a great tour through 1980's balisong history. Enjoy!

Thank you, George, for photographing my collection. I think it's great that you took the time to preserve and share these knives for everyone to enjoy. It took me about 8 years to collect all these. I have always liked the diversity of blade styles and handle types that balisongs exibit. Really, there is no limit. So simple a concept, but with such diversity.
I hope your visitors enjoy these as much as you and I do! Andy B. Blade420
