One of the first folders I carried this year, was my Spyderco Ed Schempp Balance and my old(er) favorite, a Spyderco white FRN Delica 4. However, both knives have been modified or modded by Ed Schempp himself. Both knives have been enhanced by Ed with some Devin Thomas raindrop pattern stainless damascus steel.
The white damascus Delica has been featured on this website for a few years now and is not ‘new’. During the photoshoot for the Balance, I decided that the Delica needed some better pictures. So here you go.
OMG!! where can I get this Balance?!
Well, you can’t get one like that in a shop. Ed Schempp made the custom handle scale for this Balance, and the blade for the Delica.
I guess so. 🙂
Will he possibly make another if you ask him?
I don’t know, you could always try.
