High carbon Butterfly balisong knife
We would rather talk you out of the wrong knife than take the money and read the email later. So, plainly, who should not buy a plain high carbon balisong.
Skip it if you sweat heavily and will not wipe the blade. Carbon steel reacts to skin acid within hours. If a thirty-second habit is not going to happen, you will be looking at orange spots by the second week. Buy 440C.
Skip it if you live somewhere humid and store knives in a drawer. Same problem, slower.
Skip it if a blade that changes colour will bother you. Patina is not damage, but it is permanent and it is not uniform. Some people love it. If you want the blade to look factory-new in five years, this is the wrong steel and no amount of care will change that.
Everyone else: it is the toughest steel we forge, the easiest to sharpen, and the one Batangas smiths chose for a century. 89 knives here, $110.00 to $247.50, with the traditional carbon series at $121.55 to $139.70.

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.
