Valhalla Cutlery Solid Brass Contour Handle Balisong Butterfly Knife w/ S30v by Alan Harvey

[TheLolman26]

hey jb, i am looking into buying a balisong but i saw some comments saying you had some cool stuff coming out this year. I was just wondering when they come out so i don't regret buying an older one when the new ones come out.

[Roadsideimports]

@TheLolman26 The new ones are not going to be custom made like the first run I did, the second series will be production with some customized parts and the new ones won't be anything like the first run, I changed everything around with them. The first run was hand made stuff by Alan Harvey and hand made stuff is expensive and so were the materials used but most that are similar sell from $600 to $800 on that level so at $300 it was a pretty fair price on them.

[TheLolman26]

@Roadsideimports alright my man, thats sounds good. Do you know when the second series will be released?

[Roadsideimports]

@TheLolman26 I am hoping for Dec. for Christmas. I have have two projects underway, one is a channel construction model and the other is the pimp daddy of them all. I am 9 months into the projects so getting close to things.

[TheLolman26]

@Roadsideimports Alright let me know if there is any updates. Also thank you for the knife, the akc stiletto i ordered just came in the mail yesterday and it is very nice. Thank you

[QualityKnives]

Yeah I figure if it bit you it would leave a nice gash.

[QualityKnives]

That looks like a very awesome balisong but I'm guessing its probably extremely heavy right?

[Roadsideimports]

@QualityKnives yeah it is heavy compared to titanium models. I am going to start posting the weight of my models online seems like guys want to know this info, I should have thought of it myself when I did the listing the first time.

[craigpig123]

Fucking eh JB gorgeous high quality knife! Time to start saving my ass off I will die a happy man when I own one of these lol!

[Roadsideimports]

Yes, the spring latch will be next year. I have Titanium models coming out next week.

[Roadsideimports]

Next model is going to have one, things will be ready for next year.

[everettvanorden]

@Roadsideimports Next, Benchmade will claim to own the patent to the spring. Can't stand benchmade anymore, thank you for educating us on them.

[Roadsideimports]

@everettvanorden But sadly you are right, those idiots have a patent on the spring latch for the balisong that was submitted to the patent office with no drawings just verbal bullshit as normal. Look at this crock of shit

Actuator

United States Patent 6550832

[Roadsideimports]

An actuator mechanism is defined by a lever arm that is integrally connected to resilient spring members. The lever arm is movable between first and second positions and is normally biased into the first position in which the actuator may engage an adjacent member, for example to provide a fluid-tight sealing relationship of to lock the adjacent member in a stationary position relative to the lever arm.

[Roadsideimports]

Movement of the lever arm into the second position releases the engagement with the adjacent member. In one embodiment the actuator is defined by a pair of overlapping, oppositely oriented slots cut into a monolithic member to define both the lever arm and the spring members. The lever arm rocks in a teeter-toter fashion when actuated and both ends of the lever arm can be utilized to perform work.

[Roadsideimports]

Folding tool locking mechanism

United States Patent 6675484

A folding tool such as a knife or multitool and the like has a resilient lever arm formed in a body portion. A blade pivotally connected to the body is movable between closed and open positions. A blade locking pin is carried on the lever arm, and in the normal resting position the blade locking pin engages the blade.

[Roadsideimports]

When the blade is in the open position the lever arm biases the locking pin into locking engagement with a notch formed in the blade tang, thereby locking the blade in the open position. Actuating the lever arm disengages the locking pin from the blade, allowing the blade to be moved into the closed position. The blade may have a second notch or hole formed in the tang for engagement of the blade locking pin when the blade is closed, thereby locking the blade into the closed position. 

[Roadsideimports]

BOTH ARE A CROCK OF SHIT, THEY HAVE NO DRAWINGS NO NOTHING BECAUSE BEING AS VAGUE AS POSSIBLE MAKES IT SO THAT THEY CAN SUE ANYONE WHO GETS IN THEIR WAY, SO YOU BETTER HAVE MONEY TO BEAT THEM WITH THEIR BULLSHIT BUSINESS PRACTICES.

Read both of the patents and any normal person with even half a brain can see that the patent is CRAP just like what they make.

[everettvanorden]

@Roadsideimports It's horrible what some can get away with when they have the money to run all over the average guy... I also wanted to thank you for all the great products you have sold me over the last few months. I will be a happy customer again in the future!

[Roadsideimports]

@everettvanorden People will see the truth about things one day. I have nothing to hide from, I put everything out in the open on what happened, no lies, no nothing, just the facts and the truth.

[applepro100]

You should make a balisong with a spring latch that would be awsome

[Ouclypse]

Pocket clip?

[Roadsideimports]

You can add one pretty easily. If you want a customized one then email me and I'm sure we can figure it out.

[Roadsideimports]

Yes, they do, the latch will not ever come in contact with the blade.

[hippyslayr]

Dude, ur fucking sick. best knives at the best prices. thnx for calling me back about the mixed up shipping.

[addancserpant]

awesome product JB

[Roadsideimports]

Thanks, I have more coming out soon. Some really cool models, so expect to see some really cool stuff coming out.

[Roadsideimports]

Amen to that. I'll have a full line of balisongs out in a month or two. I have 8 models coming out that should be really cool

[redsoxnation32]

USA #1!

[Ffojt]

Its awsome, but I didn't really like the shape of the blade, it made it appear dull, but its still something I would go a long, LONG way to get=D

[bodyslam911]

That's a sweet looking piece.

[mafiamage1]

[ChuChews]
