Called balisong or butterfly by weapons collectors, butterfly knives, originating from China, were created for military use. Today, the butterfly knife is more used as an accessory for performing tricks rather than as a bladed weapon. The butterfly knife, as its name indicates, is equipped with a handle featuring two mobile parts. These allow it to be opened or closed with one hand. It also comes in two main categories: the veinte-quatro and the veinte-nueve. The first category, lighter and measuring about 24 cm, is aimed at women. The veinte-nueve, on the other hand, is longer and aimed at men.
Balisong, butterfly, veinte-quatro, veinte-nuevo, so many names to designate butterfly knives. These bladed weapons, which were once intended for military use, have now become essential for performing tricks. Mastering the butterfly knife is even part of martial arts such as Kall-Anis. Compared to classic knives, the butterfly stands out in terms of design. It features a handle with two mobile parts that allow it to open and close with one hand. This characteristic, however, requires extreme caution during handling. Being equipped with a sharp and pointed blade, it can present a danger if not handled properly. Butterfly knives, with their double-mobility handle, are part of the large family of folding blade knives. They are also available in different sizes with more futuristic designs for the great pleasure of knife collectors.
