Benchmade Morpho butterfly knife

Benchmade Morpho butterfly knife with 108 mm blade length and black G10 handle

Called balisong or butterfly by weapon collectors, butterfly knives, originating from China, were created for military use. Today, the butterfly knife is more commonly used as an accessory for performing tricks rather than as a bladed weapon. The butterfly knife, as its name suggests, has a handle equipped with two movable 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 intended for women. The Veinte-nueve, on the other hand, is longer and is intended for men.
Balisong, butterfly, veinte-quatro, veinte-nuevo, all terms to designate butterfly knives. These bladed weapons, which were once intended for military use, have now become essential for performing tricks. Mastery of 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 incorporates a handle with two movable parts that allow it to be opened and closed with one hand. However, this feature requires extreme caution when handling. Being equipped with a sharp and pointed blade, it can be dangerous if not handled properly. Butterfly knives, due to 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 greatest pleasure of knife collectors.
