9,40 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.

Balisong / butterfly / batangas / taal / butterfly - among the various types of knives, one stands out for its particularly impressive handling. This is the balisong butterfly knife, also known as “butterfly” or “bali”. Its history can be traced back to the 18th century Philippines, where it served not only as a practical tool, but also as an effective weapon for self-defense. Although the exact origin of the balisong remains shrouded in mystery, it is traditionally associated with the village of Balisong on Batangas Island. Its name in Tagalog means “broken horn,” which accurately reflects the knife's distinctive design. It consists of two handles that rotate around the Blade, resembling the movements of a butterfly's wings. Balisongs instantly gained recognition among Filipino warriors, gaining status as the national weapon. Their efficient opening and closing required extraordinary dexterity, evolving into an art form known as “flipping.” In the twentieth century, butterfly knives reached the West, gaining popularity among soldiers, sailors and enthusiasts of spectacular tricks. Today, despite the fact that in many countries their possession is subject to legal restrictions, balisongs continue to fascinate with their extraordinary agility and rich tradition.
3Cr13MoV is a martensitic chromium steel that has been enriched with molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) to improve its performance properties. The typical chemical composition includes about 0.26-0.35% carbon (C), 12.5-14.5% chromium (Cr), 0.4-0.6% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.1-0.2% vanadium (V). The addition of chromium provides corrosion resistance, while molybdenum increases hardenability, high-temperature strength and resistance to pitting corrosion. Vanadium contributes to the hardness, wear resistance and fine grain structure of the steel. 3Cr13MoV is used for knives (often found in folding knives and hunting knives), medical tools and other applications where a good combination of corrosion resistance, hardness and strength is required. It is an improved version of 3Cr13 steel, offering better sharpness retention and overall durability.
Blade - a clip point type with a gently sloping back line provides good cutting control and gives the knife a dynamic silhouette. Made of 3Cr13MoV stainless steel, it offers corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, making it a suitable choice for show and training models. A decorative Damascus pattern applied across the blade's surface mimics the ripple effect of the layered steel, enhancing the impression of elegance and emphasizing the Blade's display nature. A pivot system without pins or springs allows for smooth manipulation of the blade, while a latch-type latch provides secure locking in the closed and open positions. The Blade's overall design has been optimized for aesthetics, lightness and comfort on the move.
Handle - made of stainless steel with a polished surface was decorated with a consistent Damascus pattern, stylistically related to the Blade. The classic symmetrical layout of the arms provides a balanced weight distribution, which facilitates rotation and control of the knife's movement during training. Despite the smooth surface, the balance and proportions of the arms support precise operation in the hand. The Handle is devoid of a clip and cord hole - highlighting its purpose as a collector's and show tool. Mechanical simplicity and attention to aesthetic detail make this model an attractive choice for users who prefer classics in a modern setting.
