Hand-forged in the Batangas tradition

The balisong was born in Batangas, Philippines. Every knife in this catalogue is made by Filipino artisans and metalworkers, many from families with generations of experience, now working in the United States. Blades are ground from 440C stainless, D2 tool steel, VG10, high carbon and Damascus, and fitted to handles of kamagong ebony, carabao horn, Philippine deer horn and bone.

Description

BF-26 Common Buzzard — VG10 Filipino Balisong

A buzzard will circle for an hour and commit once. The BF-26 suits the same temperament — VG10 keeps its edge through long, patient use rather than needing constant attention, and at 155g it is light enough to keep working with.

  • Blade Materials – Vg10 Super Steel
  • Handle Materials – Stainless Steal with Kamagong Wood Inserts
  • Overall Length – 24cm
  • Blade Length – 12cm
  • Weight – 155g

VG10 is a Japanese stainless mix of roughly 1% carbon, 1% molybdenum, 15% chromium, .2% vanadium and 1.5% cobalt. Those small additions are what give it its edge retention and sheer durability. A balanced, high-end composition means good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, hardness and toughness together — which is why it is a favourite in Japan and holds up well in humid air, right down to the Japanese fishermen who rely on it.

Handmade in the Filipino tradition and shipped from the USA.
