G10 Sandwiched handle balisong WIP

To Begin you need a blade, (here a blade i did 2 years ago in a strong file.You need piece of G10 (here green/black) 8mm thick.
Image
You draw to 8 mm to the side and punch to 8mm from the left. (1,6cm width for each handle piece)
Image
I drilled pivot to 3mm
Image
I counterbored the pivot hole for the screw head
Image
I drilled the pivot hole to 4,8 mm
Image
I reamed the hole with a 4,99 carbide reamer
Image
The pivot place are ready
Image
I put the blade to the handle piece and i draw a line under the blade in order to punch the future spot for the spacer
Image
I drilled to 3mm
Image
Drilled
Image
I draw a line and punched the spot for the handle hole. But as always i won't drilled the hole straight on the line. That is a part of my style :D
Image
I drilled to 3mm and after to 5 mm. I drilled through the two piece of the same handle in the same time
Image
I countersinked the heel hole and every hole on the handle. The Drill press is set up in order to not mill too much deep.
Image
Everything is holed and countersinked and not on a straights line, i'm a real pro in that hardcore style :D
Image
I put the ertalite whasher around the pivot and draw a line around in order to not grind away too much material
Image
I make the handle shape with a 40 belt grit
Image
I put the handle and the pivot on the blade, i check where the tang pin are in contact with the handle
Image
On the free belt i rounded the top of the handle
Image
I continue in free hand style
Image
I cleaned the rounded shape with sand paper grit 150 to the hand
Image
I put the abrasive sheath on a hard surface in order to clean the flat side of the handle.
Image
I joined the two piece of each handle together and i continued to cleaned and rounded everything with sandpaper.
Image
I filed the tang cup in the G10 that is quite long, man can use a carbide rotary burr but that is really fast to put away too much material
Image
To marked the point where i have to begin to file, i pressed the handle (on the pivot) to the tang pin.
Image
One handle is ready
Image
In order to obtain a perfect flip and rotation I decreased slightly the width of the handle and of the head
Image
Some completion need to be done
ImageImageImage
I take the measurement of the space between the two handle when they are together on the blade with the washer
Image
1 8mm stainless steel spacer that i filed to obtain the good size
Image
I cleaned the file work with sand paper (150) around the file)
Image
I check the size of the spacer
Image
I decreased the size of the various screw (my tool is a nice piece of carbon steel drilled of the various size i need to take pivot, screw....)
Image
Finally i decided to counterbored the head of the pivot in the second handle, that's why i drilled to 4,8mm and reamed to 4,99 the second side of the handle.
Image
I assembled it and cleaned everything with 280 sand paper
Image
Polishing work on buffer
Image
That is finished
Image

10 cm closed
35 mm width to the widest , 23 mm to the pivot.
Thickness 17 mm
17,5 cm long, 7 cm sharp
Bltade hickness, 6mm to the pivot and 1 mm to the blade point

80 g
The blade is grinded in a strong file, nice hamon and strong etching work :D

Re: G10 Sandwiched handle balisong WIP

outstanding work. I love the blade shape and the katana like wave on it. I really like the handles too. The material is sober and classy, what i like is that the knife already look like the favorite knife you ve been carrying and using for years. All you have to do now is to find a way to put the fucking holes in a fucking straight line hehe

Well it looks nice. But that don't mean a thing if it doesn't flip well; put up a vid! :D

But really nice work. Does the g10 bend at all?

Re: G10 Sandwiched handle balisong WIP

The bali is already at the home of his new father and i didn't have taken the time to make a video. But that flip really wel. The G10 is thick and strong and don't bend at all and support perfectly the hit of the tang pin.
I think that is almost one of the best flipper i did :D
