Charles entered the balisong scene late in 2002 and has continued to make balisongs since. The first piece pictured in the gallery is #004 (click thumbnail for larger picture) and is a channel balisong with milled stainless steel handles, presentation grade mother of pearl inserts and an Imada High Hollow ground blade. Charles's craftsmanship is top-notch and his fit and finish impeccable. His knives are also very well known for the scary sharp edge that puts on them. Other blade profiles include (but are not limited to) the popular scimitar, as well as the Charles's tactical profile. Charles has recently stopped production of channel milled handles and has begun work on sandwich handled balisongs which incorporate the IKBS.
