Balisong Black Steel, Satin 3Cr13Mov (02213) from Martinez Albainox is a modern interpretation of the classic butterfly knife, constructed with durability, balance and ergonomics in mind. Made entirely of stainless steel, it features sturdiness, technical design and refined balance, making it an ideal tool for both training manipulation techniques and everyday carry. Its distinctive aesthetics, combining perforated shoulders with a precisely contoured Blade, draws attention and emphasizes its functional character. The spear point blade , symmetrical and finished with a sharp tip, is made of 3Cr13Mov steel, which combines corrosion resistance with ease of sharpening. The satin finish gives the blade a subtle sheen, highlighting the knife’s industrial style and minimizing the visibility of scratches. The openwork handle in skeletonized construction not only reduces weight, but also improves grip and balance. The knife is equipped with a latch lock, which stabilizes the blade in the open and closed positions, ensuring safety in use and training.
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 spear point profile was made of 3Cr13Mov steel, which provides good corrosion resistance and easy sharpening. Its symmetrical geometry and tip allow for precise and efficient cuts, and provide proper balance for rotary techniques. The satin finish enhances the knife’s aesthetics and gives the surface a light sheen, while reducing fingering and micro-scratching.
Handle – the design based on steel shoulders with an openwork perforation pattern reduces weight while maintaining rigidity and resistance to overloading. Slightly curved profile improves ergonomics, and numerous holes support grip, facilitating precise knife handling during flipping. The latch lock used allows the blade to be securely locked in both positions, increasing safety and comfort.
