32 individual mother of pearl inserts are inlaid to the Chad Nichols MokuTi handles on this Kyle Vallotton built custom Balisong. The latch locks up the handles firmly in the open or closed position and is also made of MokuTi from the Nichols forge. A half year in the making, the handles on this Bali are mated to a Nicholds Damascus Blued modified Wharncliffe blade.
