10,10 €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 many types of knives, one stands out for its particularly impressive handling. This is the balisong butterfly knife, also known as the “butterfly” or “bali.” Its history dates 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 a mystery, it is traditionally associated with the town of Balisong on the island of Batangas. 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 quickly gained recognition among Filipino warriors, earning the status of a national weapon. Their smooth opening and closing required extraordinary dexterity, transforming them into an art form known as “flipping.” In the 20th century, butterfly knives reached the West, gaining popularity among soldiers, sailors, and enthusiasts of spectacular tricks. Today, despite legal restrictions on their possession in many countries, balisongs continue to fascinate with their extraordinary agility and rich tradition.
3Cr13MoV is a martensitic chrome steel that has been enriched with molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) to improve its performance. The typical chemical composition includes approximately 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 increased hardness, wear resistance, and fine grain structure of the steel. 3Cr13MoV is used for the production of knives (often found in folding 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 edge retention and overall durability.
Blade - made of 3Cr13MoV stainless steel, which combines corrosion resistance with ease of sharpening - ideal parameters for everyday use and learning balisong techniques. The drop point profile ensures good cutting properties, while the stonewashed finish gives the blade a matte, functional look. The classic two-arm design allows the blade to be opened and closed smoothly without the use of additional mechanisms. A latch stabilizes the blade in the open or closed position, increasing safety during use and transport. The blade of the 02105 model is a practical combination of classic geometry, durability and simplicity, valued in knives for everyday training and as part of a collection.
Handle - made of stainless steel with a stonewashed finish, which ensures durability, a consistent look with the blade and resistance to signs of wear. The symmetrical arm layout supports the balance of the knife, which is crucial when performing spins and tricks. The lack of texture is compensated by the balance and length of the handle, which translates into a stable grip. The handle has no clip or lanyard hole - this is a deliberate simplification, in line with the demonstration and training character of the design. The whole is closed with a classic latch, which locks the blade in both positions and allows for quick securing of the knife. The 02105 model is a solid, minimalist choice for those looking for a stylish and durable butterfly knife for everyday practice or collecting.
