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.
Checked four times

The steel is VG10, mixed to roughly 1% carbon, 1% molybdenum, 15% chromium, 0.2% vanadium and 1.5% cobalt. High-end and chemically balanced, it delivers edge retention, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, hardness and toughness without trading one for another: the reason it is a favourite in Japan and among Japanese fishermen who work in humid conditions all day.
Visayan Philippine deer horn is inlaid into solid brass, and because the horn is natural, colour and figure change from knife to knife. Browse more authentic Filipino balisongs, or see the history of the balisong.
