Butterfly knives are a type of
folding knife. They are named for their distinctive "butterfly" opening
sequence. When unfolding the blade, each half of the handle is rotated around
the tang's pivot point. The blade emerges with two frames, or
"wings". Aside from its origins in the Philippines, other countries
such as Spain and China also claim credit for the development of the balisong.
The balisong is mentioned in
"The Three Musketeers," a novel written by Alexandre Dumas and
published in 1844. There is a scene where the characters discuss the use of
butterfly knife tricks which was popular at that time. Some comic books and
novels also mention this weapon. An example is in one comic book featuring
Spider-man, who uses a similar weapon known as "Spidey's Web
Shooter." In another comic book story set in New York during World War II,
Jughead uses a similar weapon called "Jughead's Wedding Band.
The invention of The Balisong
The butterfly knife was
invented by Michael Walker in 1968, who named it the "Australis".
After his patent expired in 1977, many variations on the design were created.
Today's butterfly knives are made by dozens of companies worldwide including
Boker, Benchmade, Chris Reeve Knives, Cold Steel, Spyderco, and Microtech.
There are many butterfly knife
tricks and uses. Not only this, it is also used for entertaining purposes.
People love the butterfly knife tricks that’s why its popularity increases day

ones that are made in the Philippines. Many craftsmen make these knives by
hand, usually with steel frames and wooden or steel handles. The handles can
come in several shapes, shapes, and colors, but they are usually cut to fit
comfortably on the user's hand.
A
Description of Butterfly Knife
A butterfly
knife will fold along the axis of the blade, with the handle split in half,
each half rotating around an axis perpendicular to both halves. The two
resulting halves will be mirror images of each other; there is no best way to
place the knife's handle when folded because it does not matter which half is
on the top or bottom when both are closed together.
Variations on this basic theme have
been made, such as a three-piece knife, or a "flip" that opens one
side of the handle first, then the other. The blade of a knife is typically
flat ground from an angle grinder to form a relatively wide angle grind.
Occasionally the edge of the blade is ground to have a "finger guard"
or "pig sticker" aid in opening the blade easier with one hand, but
still retain the ease of opening with two hands. There are so many butterfly
knife tricks to perform with them.
