Solid Channel?
I'm really getting into balisongs these days and I keep finding new things to learn. I'm looking at this bali here and I'm wondering what the difference is between a channel-bali and a sandwich-style. http://www.darrelralph.com/ddr_knives_special.htm

Channel construction is when the handle is milled from a solid bar of steel,and is one piece.sandwich construction is two seperate pieces of steel with a spacer and the blade "sandwiched" in the center.
if you look at darrel's gemini you'll notice there are far less screw's in the handles then his venturi's,that's because the gimini is channel and venturi is sandwich contruction. The bonus to sandwich construction is that there is less "blade play" and normally "bushing's" are used.but i personally prefere channel bali's myse;f!! |

Sandwich, as indicated, is made of several pieces of material. Typically the two handle slabs held together by the means of a back spacer (the part that seperates and forms the gap/channel between the two handles slabs). __________________ Tony Balisongs. One of life's simpler pleasures. |
