Project ELB

Hello everyone,

A while ago, ELB, a French knife maker, decided to try his hand at making a balisong. he made a little prototype (keep in mind, this his is first butterfly knife!) and was kind enough to lend it to Danté and me.
We couldn't believe our hands(?) when we flipped the thing.
One particular thing I've noticed: it's the first IKBS driven balisong I flipped that's better than a 42.

We have a plan to create a dedicated flipper. We've contacted ELB and we've asked for some adjustments: weight distribution, handle length,.... A week later we had our second prototype :mrgreen: .

here's a small teaser video of us flipping the first prototype:




A video of the second prototype in currently in production,
so more epicness to come!!

Re: Project ELB

Looks like he did awesome for his first foray into balisongs. I would like to ask about the handles. Is that an inlay or is it a groove? I can't tell for sure by his photos. Sick flipping and seems to be one hellova good flipper.
Mom told me not to run with scissors, but she never said I couldn't play with knives.

Re: Project ELB

It's a groove.

ELB's price list is on his site.
Remember that it is a handmade custom. Currently, there aren't any plans to make a run. Right now it's just working together with a knife maker to get a superior flipper. If people are interested, they could order the same or similar knife, once we finetuned the model.

Really cool. I love seeing collaborations between flippers and knife makers. The more options for balisong enthusiast there are, the better it is for all of us. Kudos to you, Dante and ELB.
