Butterfly Knives

Balisong Butterfly Knives

Butterfly knives are often known as balisongs. Most people believe that the butterfly knife originated from the Philippines. Butterfly knives are two handled knives which counter roatate around the tang so that when they are closed, the blade is concealed in the handle. A competent user can get the blade of a butterfly knife out of the handles quickly through some very basic handle flips. We have a wide selection of styles and prices. Some of our top end butterfly knives include the new 53 from Benchmade Knives and the ever popular Kimura butterfly knives from Bradley. We also have many great butterfly knives at low prices. For a beginner, any size works, but a heavy handled balisong can hurt your hand. It is usually best to start out with a lighter knife and then after achieving a reasonable skill level, you can come back and order another butterfly knife with a heavier handle. Butterfly knives are a lot of fun. Look through our selection and order one today!

ABOUT BUTTERFLY KNIVES

Ah, the flashy and nimble butterfly knives! These bad boys are like the acrobats of the knife world, spinning and twirling their way into our hearts. With their unique design and smooth flipping action, modern balisongs are not just tools; they're a performance piece with fast delivery!

Imagine the satisfaction of effortlessly flipping open the blade, showcasing your knife skills like a seasoned circus performer. The click-clack sound as the handles swing open, revealing the razor-sharp blade, is music to any knife enthusiast's ears. It's like having a miniature martial arts demonstration right in the palm of your hand!

 

Butterfly knives are not just about the wow factor; they do have practical uses too. Their balanced design and maneuverability make them great for intricate tasks that require finesse, like precision cutting or delicate craftsmanship. Plus, they're a must-have for any knife collector who wants to add a touch of excitement and style to their collection.

 

Remember, though, mastering the art of butterfly knife flipping takes practice and patience. So, channel your inner knife ninja, get ready to dazzle your friends with your knife-flipping skills, and embrace the playful elegance of the butterfly knife. Remember, this isn't your usual pocket utility knife. For your first balisong, we offer balisong trainers that have a dull blade so you can practice your wrist action without a sharp edge.

CHOOSE THE BEST BALISONG BUTTERFLY KNIFE FOR YOUR COLLECTION

When choosing the perfect knife for you, there are a few things to consider: steel type, brand, blade shape, and price. 

 

Finding the right butterfly knife is all about finding a balance of quality and functionality. Look for trusted brands known for their craftsmanship and reliability. Check the materials used for the blade and handles to ensure they are durable and can withstand your flipping skills. Consider the weight and balance of the knife for comfortable handling and smooth flips. Pay attention to the locking mechanism to ensure safety during your tricks. Lastly, choose a design that suits your taste and preferences. By keeping these factors in mind, you'll be able to find a butterfly knife that combines practicality and style, ready to accompany you on your flipping adventures.

Depending on the intended purpose, your choice of steel will have a large impact on your purchase, including factoring in hardness, toughness, edge retention, and more.
