Balisong Skulls Black Aluminum, Black 3Cr13Mov (02201) is aimed at balisong knife enthusiasts who expect not only functionality from the tool, but also distinctive design. The skull motif present on the Blade and Handle gives the whole thing a dark character, well suited to collector aesthetics and dynamic presentations of techniques. The construction based on anodized aluminum and stainless steel ensures durability, while maintaining proper balance and lightness. The dagger profile blade is designed for precision manipulation, and the use of 3Cr13Mov steel guarantees corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening – key features in training tools. The black coating and graphic print enhance the visual message of the knife, making it not only a utility tool, but also a style manifesto. The whole is complemented by an ergonomic Handle with decorative milling and latch lock mechanism , ensuring safety and smooth operation.
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 – dagger type , provides even cutting efficiency and full control when performing rotary techniques. The 3Cr13Mov stainless steel used stands up well to heavy use, maintaining ease of sharpening and resistance to rusting. The surface of the blade has been coated with black coated , which reduces reflections and improves visual durability. A decorative skull print and a cutter along the bevels give the blade an aggressive, show-stopping feel, while reducing its weight for better balance.
Handle – made of lightweight, anodized aluminum has been decorated with a skull print and deep milling to increase grip during fast movement sequences. The symmetrical shape and properly selected weight allow smooth and controlled manipulation. Torx-screw-based mounting components allow for resistance adjustment and full maintenance of the mechanism. A standard latch lock secures the blade in both the open and closed positions, and the overall design is distinguished by a consistent combination of styling and practical purpose.
