Balisong / butterfly / batangas / taal / butterfly - among the numerous types of knives, one stands out for its exceptional spectacular handling. This is the balisong butterfly knife, also called “butterfly” or “bali”. Its history can be traced back to the 18th-century Philippines, where it served not only as a tool, but also as an effective weapon for self-defense. Although the exact origin of the balisong is shrouded in mystery, it is associated with the town of Balisong on Batangas Island. Its name in Tagalog means “broken horn,” reflecting the knife's distinctive construction. It consists of two handles that rotate around the Blade like the wings of a butterfly. Balisongs quickly gained popularity among Filipino warriors and became known as the national weapon. Their deft opening and closing required considerable skill, becoming an art form known as “flipping.” In the 20th century, butterfly knives made their way to the West, finding recognition among soldiers, sailors and trick-or-treaters. Today, although their possession is restricted by law in many countries, balisongs continue to fascinate with their agility and rich history.

AISI 420 (American Iron and Steel Institute) martensitic stainless steel rich in 0.15% carbon, containing min. 12% chromium, which offers high hardenability in the 54-56 HRC range as well as strength, toughness, machinability and excellent corrosion resistance. The high carbon content produces chromium carbide compounds for wear resistance and edge retention after hardening. Due to its high hardness, the steel is suitable for manufacturing cutting tools, knife blades and medical instruments.

Blade - safe, black-coated. The blade without a cutting edge, with curved edges to avoid even accidental injury. A series of holes in the Blade is to equalize the weight and bring the balance closer to a sharp balisong.

Handle - made of aluminum on a stainless steel frame. In the back of the Handle there is a latch safety which clips the arms of the handle in both the closed and open positions. The axis of rotation of the arms has pivot-pins attached.
