The Basilisk-R is the long awaited successor to the legendary Basilisk that was originally released in 2007. Created from the ground up in an all new design, the Basilisk-R incorporates new features such as precision tolerances and detailed machining while retaining styling features from the original.

 

 

The handles on the Basilisk-R are available in carbon fiber, blue twill, and G10 overlays over titanium liners, or full titanium handles on the Titanium Basilisk-R. This piece has the carbon fiber overlays. Handle design features include chamfered slots and holes, combined with horizontal jimping for added grip that will not interfere with fanning techniques.

 

The Basilisk-R recurve bowie blade is 154CM and includes a CNC chamfered spine, tang, and horns. The blade mechanics are supplemented by a precision tuned bushing system that creates virtually no blade-play even after extensive use.

 

This knife is offered on consignment from a trusted long-time client of ours.

 Hom Design started with an idea that the balisong community needed another option for quality knives. Back in 2006, it was either run-of-the-mill production butterfly knives or expensive custom art pieces. Many were designed to look “traditional” and were uninspired. 

Our original G10 Basilisk Balisong launched in 2007 as a statement to redefine what a production butterfly knife should be. The limited midtech run of the Basilisk offered a sophisticated and daring design built on a system that was designed for flipping. Featuring a gnarly hollow hand ground blade, hand tuned bushings, multi-colored rounded/textured G10 handle overlays, and weighted backspacers; the launch model offered a plethora of features at a highly reasonable price.

Our mission remains the same today — Hom Design is committed to creating highly inspired knives of the highest quality. Material innovation and passion for design are the cornerstones of our products. We love to hear from our fans and combined with their feedback, we hope to build their dream knife.
