- Balisong Black Steel, Black 3Cr13Mov (02206) - a tactical balisong knife with a clip point blade and minimalist skeletonized handle with embossed grooves. Entirely made of 3Cr13Mov steel, designed for training, manipulation and light EDC use.

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 Black Steel, Black 3Cr13Mov (02206) is an austere, ornament-free interpretation of the classic butterfly knife that focuses on functionality, durability and clean design. Blade is made of 3Cr13Mov stainless steel with a black finish, which not only enhances resistance to the elements, but also eliminates light reflections - important in tactical and outdoor environments. Thanks to its precise balance and reinforced construction, the knife is perfect for dynamic training in flipping techniques, and its consistent aesthetics make it an attractive choice for collectors of modern EDC. Blade's clip point profile provides versatility and precision in cuts, while the black coated finish enhances protection against corrosion. The flat grind improves cutting geometry, making the knife easier to handle in a variety of utility contexts. The skeletonized handle features embossing to increase grip and reduce the overall weight of the design. The latch lock used guarantees stable locking of the blade in the open and closed positions, ensuring safety during transportation and practice.
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 - with clip point profile is made of 3Cr13Mov steel, which provides a balance between abrasion resistance and ease of sharpening. The black coating eliminates glare and increases corrosion resistance, while the flat grind improves cutting performance. Thanks to the symmetrical line of the blade and simplified geometry, the knife is perfect for both training and utility applications.
Handle - minimalist, made of stainless steel, is designed in skeletonized construction, which reduces weight while maintaining high rigidity and mechanical resistance. Stamped grooves increase control of the tool, and a classic latch lock at the end of the Handle secures the blade in the folded and extended positions. The overall design creates a solid, unified body for heavy use and technical precision.
