About the BF-78 Mole — Authentic Filipino Balisong
Every BF-78 Mole is an authentic Filipino balisong, hand-built the way Batangas makers have crafted butterfly knives for generations. The blade is semi-stainless D2 tool steel that wears slowly and keeps its edge through hard use. The handles carry carabao horn from the Philippine water buffalo — the classic balisong handle material for over a century. At 29cm overall and 220g, it balances beautifully in the hand – built to the classic Filipino pattern.
No two handles ever match exactly — that is the mark of a hand-built balisong. Add custom engraving to make it personal, and read the history of the balisong to see where this craft began.
