ハンティングナイフ、狩猟刀 Jody Samson Custom Ground Balisong Ats-34

 

   

Samson learned knife making and blade smithing from John Nelson Cooper, a veteran knife maker located in Burbank, California, in 1969. Samson began making knives full-time in 1974. Soon after, he was hired by Les DeAsis of Pacific Cutlery (now Benchmade ) as a knife designer. Les deAsis credits Samson with grinding every custom balisong knife produced by Benchmade, Pacific Cutlery, and Bali-Song from 1979 to 1994. Samson's first design won Blade magazine's Knife of the Year award in 1979. The following year, Samson unveiled his "Wee-hawk" blade profile which was made by Benchmade for years. The name Wee-hawk was inspired by the a character of the same name from the animated movie "Wizards".

 

 

 Bali-Song, Inc.
 

Balisong USA started manufacturing balisongs in the late 1970s, then changed its name to Pacific Cutlery in the early1980s, before finally becoming Benchmade. The earlier knives featured a wide variety of custom blade designs (many of which were hand ground by master knifemaker Jody Samson, well known for making the swords in the movie Conan the Barbarian), as well as a number of exotic inlays for the handles (ivory, prehistoric ivory, scrimshawed ivory, mother-of-pearl, ebony, tropical woods, etc.). In mint condition, some of these early Balisong knives are worth thousands of dollars. Used, with skeletonized or micarta handles and the standard "weehawk" or "Imada high hollow" grind, they typically start at around $300 and go up from there. Unusual grinds, like the "scimitar", "cutlass", "kris", "weehawk tanto", "Spanish Bowie", or rare "mariner" cause the value to increase significantly. These early American Balisong knives are highly sought after by collectors, who frequently purchase them as investments and store them in airtight safes.
