Fit and Finish: Greacen is renowned for “zero-tolerance” construction. In the Apex, this translates to a perfectly centered blade, a rock-solid lockup, and an action that is fluid and refined, reflecting his background in precision-balanced balisongs.
Aggressive Blade Geometry
-
Blade Finish: The blade features satin polished flats contrasted by an aggressive grind. This multi-faceted grind not only enhances the knife’s visual “edge” but also creates a reinforced tip and varying edge thicknesses for different cutting tasks.
-
Materials: While typical Balibalistic builds often utilize premium stainless steels like CPM-S35VN or CPM-154, the focus on this custom build is the hand-finished execution of the steel to achieve those crisp, clean lines.
Condition and Provenance
-
Status: New from the maker, ensuring the intricate millwork and satin finishes are in original, untouched condition.
-
Collector Value: Shawn Greacen operates as a one-man workshop. Because his output is limited and his focus often shifts between specialized balisongs and folders, an Apex in “new” condition is a rare find for serious tactical collectors.
