high carbon blade knives
89 knives is too many to scroll through blind, so here is the map. This shelf is the wider high carbon family, which means it holds three different kinds of steel.
The traditional carbon series, BF-56 to BF-77. $121.55 to $139.70. Hare, Hedgehog, Heron, Honey Bee, Hoopoe, Hornbill, Horse, Human, Ibis, Insect, King Cobra, Kingfisher, Ladybug, Leopard Cat, Liger, Lizard, Magpie, Malayan Civet, Mayfly, Millipede. Plain carbon, tough, easiest to sharpen, will patina. The narrowest price band on the site.
The 440C series, BF-01 to BF-25. $110.00 to $247.50. High-carbon stainless. Same family by chemistry, completely different maintenance.
The D2 series and traditional lines, BF-78 upward. $121.00 to $220.00. High-carbon tool steel, the best edge retention here, the slowest to sharpen.
If you want the classic Batangas carbon blade specifically, buy from the first group. If you want the family in general, the average across all 89 is $156.35.

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.
