My personal history started in around 87 when I got a custom Bali from a gun shop owner who cut his finger dropped it on a concrete floor and broke the tip off and cracked the ivory inlay on the brass handle. He had paid $225 in the early 80s and he was so pissed when he cut himself that he was going to trash it but he let my Dad buy it for $20.

It was made by so guy named Les de Asis.

Wow, what an introduction to balisongs!!!! My first balis were cheap POS's that I had to constantly replace either from breakage or parental confiscation!
