I am personally very excited about Project Gemini and very pleased that a custom maker of Mr. Ralph's skill and standing has taken an interest in balisongs. I am certain that Gemini balisongs will be excellent in quality and design and suitable either as collectibles or as usable knives.
With both Clay and I consulting on Project Gemini, you can be sure that the resulting knives will be both beautiful and function. With such a great maker as Mr. Ralph designing and making the knives, you can be sure that they'll be an excellent addition the balisong world. And, with The Edge Equipment coordinating everything, you can be assured that everything will be handled perfectly and you can place your orders with confidence and convenience.
I'll be posting more information about Gemini as the project progresses.
Yes, I am very pleased to be associated Project Gemini. I can't wait to see the prototype and I can't wait to get the finished products.
Finally, I am pleased to report that Mr. Ralph plans to continue making Gemini custom balisongs after this special initial numbered edition is complete. Furthermore, I'm sure that we can look forward to new designs from this creative and energetic bladesmith.
LATEST UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 7th, The numbered pieces are all sold. Mr. Ralph has announced that he will take orders for a few more unnumbered pieces and that, after these are all completed, the Gemini will be discontinued. Don't worry, though. He's got more balisong plans in the works. If you're lucky enough to be getting a Gemini, know that you're not only getting an outstanding balisong, but a wonderful collectible too.
Stay tuned for more custom balisongs from Darrel Ralph and from other custom markers too.
