We forge every knife ourselves in the Batangas tradition, so there is no importer, no trading house and no third country between you and the bench. 159 models in production, your logo on the bolster if you want it, and full private label if you would rather the knife carried your name than ours.
We do not work from a fixed trade list, because a run of twenty engraved trainers and a private label run built from your own drawing are not the same job and should not be priced as though they were. Tell us what you are planning and you will have a written quote and a real lead time. This is what is on the table.
All 159 models are available at volume, and you can mix models, steels and handle materials freely inside one order. You are never forced onto a single SKU just to reach a quantity.
Cut into the brass or steel rather than printed on, so it will still be there in twenty years. You approve a proof showing exact placement and size before a single knife is touched.
Individual names for an awards run, a date for an anniversary, or sequential batch and serial numbers for a limited edition your customers can collect.
The same knife with the final sharpening pass left off. Identical steel, weight, pivots and action. Where the live blade is restricted, this is very often the version you can sell freely.
Your brand on the blade, the sheath and the box, with no mention of us anywhere in it. The knife arrives ready to sell as yours.
Send a sketch, a CAD file, a photograph or a knife you already like, and we will make it. Or build the specification yourself in the configurator and send us the link.
Hand-forged Damascus, VG-10, D2 tool steel, 440C stainless and traditional high carbon, so we can build toward the shelf price you need to hit rather than the one that suits us.
Fitted leather sheath, slip pouch, branded box or a handmade wooden presentation box, with your own printed card inserts if you want them.
Order one or two of the exact specification first. Steel, balance and action are far easier to judge in the hand than on a screen, and it tells you how the piece will present to your own customer.
Stocking partners can use our product images in their own listings, so you are not paying for a photo shoot before you have sold anything.
For repeat partners we will hold a production slot and restock on a schedule, so the models that actually sell for you never go dark for a month.
First look at new models before they go public, and on private label work, a design that stays yours rather than turning up in someone else’s shop next season.
If you are shipping on to your own customers, cartons, inserts and paperwork can go out without our branding anywhere on them.
Packed for the distance, honest paperwork with the correct country of origin, and tracking sent to you the day the order leaves the bench.
Models from the range, mixed however you like in one order.
Your mark on the bolster, boxed and ready to hand over.
A proper account rather than a one-off order.
Your knife, your name, made to your drawing.
Trainers by the box, marked with your club name.
Trainers only, supplied for production use.
Hand-forged Damascus in twist, raindrop, ladder and mosaic patterns. VG-10 super steel, D2 tool steel, 440C stainless and traditional high carbon.
Carabao horn, black horn, kamagong ebony, rosewood, wenge, stag antler, camel bone, mother of pearl, micarta and G10, with brass, copper, titanium or Damascus bolsters.
Logo, company name, custom text, dates, batch or serial numbering, cut into the bolster. Sharp or trainer, the mark sits in the same place.
Live blade or unsharpened trainer, specified per order or split across one. Same knife either way, right down to the weight and the swing.
Fitted leather sheath, slip pouch, branded box or a handmade wooden presentation box, with your own card inserts if you want them.
Mirror polish, satin, stonewash or a darkened traditional finish, matched across a batch so a display case looks like a set rather than a collection.
Not sure what to specify? The custom balisong builder lets you choose every part of a knife and see the specification build up as you go. Put together the piece you have in mind there, send us the link, and we will quote the same specification as a run.
The balisong is a Filipino knife. It carries the name of Batangas, where families have been making them by hand for generations, and almost every butterfly knife sold in the West today is made somewhere else entirely by people with no connection to that tradition at all.
Two knives on a shelf at the same price look identical until one of them has a place, a tradition and a maker behind it. That is the half of the sale a generic import cannot make for you.
We publish where the knives come from and how they are made, so nothing on your product page has to be vague. Read the whole account on our origin page.
Forged, ground, fitted, finished and tuned one knife at a time. Grain in the horn, pattern in the Damascus, and no two pieces in a batch that are perfectly identical.
Balisongs are restricted in more places than most knives, and that is your risk as the reseller, not ours. We would rather say so plainly than let you find out after the cartons land.
Rules vary by country, and inside the United States they vary by state and sometimes by city. Some places allow ownership but not carry. Some ban the live blade and allow the trainer. Confirm what you can legally sell before you commit to a quantity.
A trainer is the identical knife with the final sharpening pass left off. In restricted markets it is very often the version you can sell freely, and it is what flipping clubs and schools buy anyway. See the trainer range.
We ship worldwide, insured and tracked, with honest paperwork and correct country of origin. Import duty, customs clearance and any local permit are the buyer’s responsibility.
Once your logo is cut into a batch it cannot be sold to anyone else, so engraved and private label runs are non-returnable. That is exactly why we make you approve the proof first.
No, and it is a deliberate choice. What a run costs depends on the models, the steel, the handle material, the quantity, the engraving and how it is packed, and a fixed table would either overcharge the simple jobs or underquote the complicated ones. Send us the specification and you will have a written quote inside one working day.
There is no single number. An engraved model from the existing range starts far lower than a private label knife built from scratch to your own drawing. Tell us what you are planning and we will give you the exact figure for that job rather than a general one.
Yes, cut into the bolster rather than the blade face, so the knife still looks like a knife rather than a promotional item. You approve a proof showing exact placement and size before anything is cut.
Yes. Private label and OEM runs carry your name on the blade, the sheath and the packaging, with no mention of us, and we will build to your drawings, CAD files or a sample knife.
Models we are holding in stock leave in one to three business days. Engraved runs add a little for the artwork proof and the marking. Anything forged to order, including private label, gets a real date confirmed with your quote rather than a guess here.
Yes, and we would rather you did. Steel, balance and action are much easier to judge in the hand than on a screen, and a sample also lets you see how the piece presents to your own customer before you order a run of them.
Yes. A trainer is the same knife without the final sharpening pass, so the steel, the weight and the action are identical. In restricted markets it is often the only version you can sell, and clubs and schools buy them by the box.
Yes, worldwide, insured and tracked, with correct country of origin on the paperwork. Import duty, customs clearance and any local permits are the buyer’s responsibility, and balisong law varies by country and by US state, so check your own market first.
Yes. Stocking partners get our product images to use in their own listings, so you can go live without arranging a separate shoot.
Terms are confirmed with your quote. We invoice in US dollars, and for established stockists placing repeat orders there is room to discuss how that is handled.
Yes. On private label and signature series work the design stays yours, and we will not run it for anyone else. Say so in your enquiry and we will put it in writing with the quote.
The more you can tell us here, the more useful the first reply is. Models or steels, rough quantity, sharp or trainer, engraving, packaging and the date you need it landed. If you already know exactly what you want, say so and we will come back with a firm quote rather than questions.
Would rather just talk it through? Send us a line about what you are planning and we will take it from there.
