Butterfly knives, also known as balisongs or balis, at their core are just a blade and two moving handles, featuring a unique double-handle rotating structure. The balisong is a knife, much like any other. However, serving not only as a daily tool but also an important medium for fingertip movement and performing arts. Could be used at everyday or camping scenes — open packages, carve wood, cut fruits, hunting etc., could also be used to self defence, train and display your performing martial skills.
The butterfly knife originated in the Philippines hundreds of years ago, using name of a village as name of knife, and was adopted by martial artists and optimized for use as a weapon. It’s quick to deploy to a wide variety of grips, can withstand serious abuse, and looks really cool in the hands of a trained bali flipper. There is no end to the ways you can open, close, flip, throw, catch, spin, (fill in your favorite verb here) a butterfly knife.
Because balisong flippers are so fun to watch, they have found their way into characters’ hands in film and television. The Punisher, Knives Out, Team Fortress, Fortnite, and dozens of others put balis on full display. Movies and games like these and a growing community of competitive flippers have spread the butterfly knife far from its humble beginnings.
These knives are excellent examples of the principles of metallurgy, which state that the composition of the blade, the heat treatment, and the edge geometry all play crucial roles in determining the knife’s sharpness, ability to retain an edge, and durability. There are many types of butterfly knives and many styles to choose from, and if you want to do tricks with them, there are even more things to consider. Users are given the ability to appreciate the subtle benefits that various butterfly knives provide when they have a thorough understanding of the science behind blade-to-handle ratios, blade grinds, and the interaction between cutting angles and materials. As a consequence of this, an educated decision can be made, which ensures that your butterfly knife will completely fit with the duties and requirements that are unique to you.
