John Gray Custom Balisong 204P Tanto Bowie Carbon Fiber Inlaid Titanium

Custom knife maker John Gray brings his signature style to his new Balisong design. The CNC milled titanium handles have Diamondback carbon fiber inlays for a subtle, stylistic detail along with custom titanium pivot hardware over the caged bearings that give this piece buttery smooth operation. If you are looking for a beefy Bali that is ready for some serious work or just to add to your collection this is an excellent choice. This piece has an acid washed and tumbled, CTS-204P blade and includes a hand stitched leather belt sheath for carry.

Brand new, direct from John Gray.

Blade: The blade of this Balisong blends the lines of a classic Bowie, with a subtle top clip and subtle narrowing toward the handle, with the robust forward edge of the Japanese Tanto. The American CTS-204P blade provides excellent performance in both corrosion resistance and edge retention. The flat grind slices well while the beefy stock an minimal distal taper lend plenty of durability and heft for smooth cycling. The blade is finished with an acid wash and tumble for a non-reflective look that hides wear well and rides smoothly on caged bearings in the pivot.

Handle: CNC machined titanium forms the solid handles and leaves a non-aggressive texture that adds traction while still making for smooth transitions. The handles are inlaid with carbon fiber in a Diamondback pattern for added style and are finished off with orange peel textured spacers that enhance the overall balance of the knife.

Carries in a hand made leather belt sheath set up for horizontal carry.

CTS-204P: A highly wear resistant, powder metallurgy stainless steel, CTS-204P has some of the highest edge retention and corrosion resistance available. CTS-204P is similar in performance to CPM-20CV and Bohler's M390.
