"If a DREAM can take form it can only be crafted by hands of men!"

Men of VISION... These are what separates the consumers from the dreamers. The interaction between the owner of these balisongs is quite funny. He had shown me his prized possessions a trio of drop points from the Pacific Cutlery, Bali-Song Cutlery and Benchmade Custom era.. a wonderful example of the evolution of this fine company.. the thign is.. the conversation took flight NOT towards these BM evolutionaries but towards these two 'underdog; pieces he had. Walter Erikson and Salley Customs. I sould like to note that BOTH of these custom makers had designed and implemented the LATCH GATE -eons- before the new BM42.

# The top knife is a classic Walter Erikson custom Bowie blade with wood inserts. Yes I drooled when I saw it too so sue me. I want it. Then again I want my dreams to come true and conquer the world. 4 inches of custom dream made by a man who made his mark on the custom knife world and retired never to be forgotten.

# #27 Salley custom. Lots of talk on the forums suggested a BOGWEISKI SPIKE type of blade. "What a good idea." they mentioned. Salley already did it. Another fine piece highly praised by its owner. A KILLER knife in every way. Unfortunately Mr. Salley has commented that he will n olonger make Balisongs due to legalities.
