Balisong / butterfly / batangas / taal / butterfly – among the various types of knives, one stands out for its particularly impressive handling. This is the balisong butterfly knife, also known as “butterfly” or “bali.” Its history can be traced back to the 18th century Philippines, where it served not only as a practical tool, but also as an effective weapon for self-defense. Although the exact origin of the balisong remains shrouded in mystery, it is traditionally associated with the village of Balisong on Batangas Island. Its name in Tagalog means “broken horn,” which accurately reflects the knife’s distinctive design. It consists of two handles that rotate around the Blade, resembling the movements of a butterfly’s wings. Balisongs instantly gained recognition among Filipino warriors, gaining status as the national weapon. Their efficient opening and closing required extraordinary dexterity, evolving into an art form known as “flipping.” In the twentieth century, butterfly knives reached the West, gaining popularity among soldiers, sailors and enthusiasts of spectacular tricks. Today, despite the fact that in many countries their possession is subject to legal restrictions, balisongs continue to fascinate with their extraordinary agility and rich tradition.
3Cr13MoV is a martensitic chromium steel that has been enriched with molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) to improve its performance properties. The typical chemical composition includes about 0.26-0.35% carbon (C), 12.5-14.5% chromium (Cr), 0.4-0.6% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.1-0.2% vanadium (V). The addition of chromium provides corrosion resistance, while molybdenum increases hardenability, high-temperature strength and resistance to pitting corrosion. Vanadium contributes to the hardness, wear resistance and fine grain structure of the steel. 3Cr13MoV is used for knives (often found in folding knives and hunting knives), medical tools and other applications where a good combination of corrosion resistance, hardness and strength is required. It is an improved version of 3Cr13 steel, offering better sharpness retention and overall durability.
Blade – with bayonet profile is made of satin-finished 3Cr13Mov stainless steel, whose performance properties – corrosion resistance, toughness and ease of sharpening – make this model a versatile tool for everyday carry and training. The flat grind improves cutting control, and the slim line of the blade aids precise maneuvering. The aesthetically pleasing satin finish nullifies the visibility of micro-scratches, maintaining the knife’s attractive appearance even under heavy use.
Handle – made of stainless steel is distinguished by an embossed geometric motif, which serves both a decorative and utilitarian function- improving grip and stability during movements. Closed form and lack of sharp edges promote comfort of work, and symmetrical layout allows free performance of ambidextrous techniques. The classic latch used ensures secure locking of the blade in both positions, and the whole structure is designed for durability and everyday functionality.
