Good luck, I think i'm gonna go with building a roughly shaped balisong at first, basing it around a knifekits tsunami and then making a few sets of handles and experimenting with shapes and designs. I recommend you get some O1 steel, Ive heard from quite a few people that its easy for beginners to use and gives relatively good knifes in the end. A combination of both would be interesting, maybe a Kimura IV style blade with the tachyon handles? But as you prefer kimura handles, you could try those with a Tachyon II style blade, that would look pretty interesting. Also if you like lightweight flippers, Aircraft aluminium is the first thing that springs to mind, however I am unsure as to whether it would make a good flipper,
Thanks,
Carl
