Balisong / butterfly / batangas / taal / butterfly - among the numerous types of knives, one stands out for its exceptional spectacular handling. This is the balisong butterfly knife, also called “butterfly” or “bali”. Its history can be traced back to the 18th-century Philippines, where it served not only as a tool, but also as an effective weapon for self-defense. Although the exact origin of the balisong is shrouded in mystery, it is associated with the town of Balisong on Batangas Island. Its name in Tagalog means “broken horn,” reflecting the knife's distinctive construction. It consists of two handles that rotate around the Blade like the wings of a butterfly. Balisongs quickly gained popularity among Filipino warriors and became known as the national weapon. Their deft opening and closing required considerable skill, becoming an art form known as “flipping.” In the 20th century, butterfly knives made their way to the West, finding recognition among soldiers, sailors and trick-or-treaters. Today, although their possession is restricted by law in many countries, balisongs continue to fascinate with their agility and rich history.
