Handmade Authentic Butterfly
Handmade gets sold as a compliment. It is really a description of a trade-off, and you should know which side of it you are standing on before you order.
Two knives of the same model here will not be identical. The horn will be a different colour, the grind will catch the light slightly differently, the pivot will have its own weight to it. That is not a defect, and we are not going to treat it as one if you write to us about it.
What we do guarantee is the work. Every one of these 127 balisongs is hand-forged and hand-fitted by Filipino smiths, then checked for blade alignment, pivot smoothness and finish before it is boxed.
If you want two knives that match to the micron, a factory will serve you better and honestly cost you less. If you want a knife that is specifically yours, this is the right shelf.
$109.45 to $247.50, median $137.50. Leather sheath fitted to the model, and the option of a matching unsharpened trainer at the same price.

About our balisongs
The balisong began in Batangas, in the Philippines, and every knife in this collection is made in that tradition. Our knives are made by Filipino artisans and metalworkers, many from families with generations of experience, now working in the United States.
Blades are ground in 440C stainless, D2 tool steel, VG10, high carbon and Damascus steel. Handles are fitted in kamagong ebony, carabao horn, Philippine deer horn and bone, and every knife ships with a fitted leather sheath. Both live blades and trainers are offered.
Before a knife leaves the bench it passes a four-step quality process: detailed hand inspection, smoothness and pivot testing, blade alignment checks, and durability and finish quality control. If a knife doesn't meet our standards, it never reaches our customers.
Most orders ship in 1 to 3 business days and arrive in 4 to 8 business days across the USA, or 8 to 14 business days internationally. Out of stock knives are handcrafted to order in 2 to 3 weeks, and every order ships worldwide with tracking.
