Fully Custom Bali???

Any recommendations on anywhere or an indvidual person to contact regarding the creation and purchasing of a FULLY CUSTOMIZED balisong, meaning drawing my own handle design, my own blade design, giving the drawings to this person and having them give me back a balisong built with the materials I want? Such as titanium, talonite, etc..?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I was originally thinking Allen Elischwitz, but it seems he no longer makes custom/special order knives.

Thanks,
-Dave

Let's see there is Me , Charles Marlowe , Pabu, Maybe Davidson .
to have your knife Built won't be cheap by anyone but you might find some to do it !
i have a backlog right now of 3-4 month's , the others i can't / won't speak for !

id say maybe Marlowe if you want it sooner than that .
Good luck !

there's also, terry guinn, dobruski, korth and more .. but expect a wait for all of them - apparently balisong makers are in high demand. I don't think Charles typically does one off designs and I suspect his wait time is more than a few months.. but find makers who's stuff you like and drop them an email - it can't hurt and sometimes they can surprise you!

Most have been mentioned....but you also might try Ralph Turnbull .., outstanding maker!

Don't be shocked at the price..., it'll cost you a bunch for a 1 of 1 you design for sure unless you are going to also purchase all the materials.., etc....

Cool project...

Let us know if you need contact information.....

I can get you in touch with any of those mentioned and a few that weren't....
