At Balisong Butterfly, we are dedicated to preserving the art, heritage, and craftsmanship behind one of the most iconic knives in the world — the balisong. Our mission is to bring authentic Filipino blade-making tradition to the United States while offering premium, functional, and beautifully crafted butterfly knives for collectors, flippers, and everyday users.
Filipino Craftsmanship, Built in the USA
Our knives are crafted by skilled Filipino artists and metalworkers now based in Illinois, USA, many of whom come from families with generations of experience in making traditional Batangas balisongs. Their expertise, precision, and heritage-driven craftsmanship give every knife a level of authenticity and quality you won’t find in mass-produced alternatives.
These makers combine:
-
Traditional Filipino balisong building techniques
-
Hand-finishing and old-world metal craftsmanship
-
Modern machining, precision tuning, and quality testing
The result?
Premium balisong and Damascus butterfly knives that honor Filipino roots while delivering USA-grade durability and performance.
A Blend of Heritage and Modern Design
Balisong Butterfly offers a unique fusion of Filipino tradition and modern knife engineering. Each balisong is built with attention to balance, smooth flipping action, and long-lasting materials. From classic Batangas-inspired designs to advanced USA-made constructions, our catalog reflects both history and innovation.
We work directly with Filipino craftsmen who understand the soul of the balisong — its movement, weight, and purpose — ensuring every knife carries authentic character with modern reliability.
Commitment to Quality
Every knife we sell goes through:
-
Detailed hand inspection
-
Smoothness and pivot testing
-
Blade alignment checks
-
Durability and finish-quality control
If a knife doesn’t meet our standards, it never reaches our customers.
We believe a balisong shouldn’t just look good — it should perform flawlessly and feel alive in your hands.
