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 3D Design Steel, 3D Design from Spanish brand Martinez Albainox is for lovers of dynamic design and classic butterfly knife designs. A striking 3D print with fire and lava styling adorns the entire surface of the blade and Handle, giving the tool a distinctive, standout look. This knife is designed both as a collector's item, and as a tool for recreational training. The balisong design was developed for users starting out in flipping - the blade with a single-sided cutting edge minimizes the risk of injury, and the smoothness of the movement promotes learning comfort. The combination of a classic mechanism with durable 3D printing makes this model functional and visually appealing. Handle made of steel fits well in the hand, and well-balanced balance and classic latch type ensure stability and safety of use. This is a model that combines effective design, solid construction and affordability for beginners.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 a clip point profile is made of 3Cr13MoV stainless steel, valued for its ease of maintenance and good corrosion resistance. The use of full-surface 3D printing with dynamic fire and lava motifs emphasizes the collector's character of the knife, while the single-sided cutting edge makes it suitable for safe trick training. The blade's geometry maintains classic proportions, which promotes learning manipulation and balances the entire design.
Handle - two-piece, steel-based grips have been covered with identical 3D printing as the Blade, ensuring visual consistency of the design. The butterfly mechanism allows the knife to open and close smoothly, and the classic locking latch provides security in the closed and open positions. The handle's shape and proper balance allow for comfortable grip and control when learning to flip. This is an option for those looking for a visually appealing, yet practical balisong.
