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.

A frog sits perfectly still and then goes, all in one motion. The BF-47 has that same snap: a short 24cm frame that loads up and releases cleanly.

VG10 is a high-end Japanese stainless steel, roughly 1% carbon, 1% molybdenum, 15% chromium, 0.2% vanadium and 1.5% cobalt. Those small alloy additions are what give it its edge retention, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, hardness and toughness. It is a strong choice for knives used in humid conditions and is very popular in Japan, including with Japanese fishermen.
