Butterfly Knife Demonstrations - Balisong Batangas Tricks

http://www.AssistedKnife.com

Batangas Balisong Butterfy Knives. The Balisong, called a Butterfly knife in the West, and sometimes known as a Batangas knife, is a form of folding pocket knife with two handles that counter-rotate around the tang such that, when closed, the blade is concealed within grooves in the handles. In the hands of a trained user, the knife blade can be brought forth quickly using one hand. Manipulations (flipping) are performed for art or amusement and require great skill. Translated from Tagalog, the word "Balisong" means "Broken Horn" (literally, "baling sungay") as the original Balisongs were made from carved animal horns and recycled knife blades. The name butterfly knife is a term coined in the United States much like "drumbox" for the kahon. The history of the butterfly knife is uncertain, though three main ideas persist: * The knife may actually have been invented by the French. The book "Le Perret" shows an obvious sketch of a balisong knife, and is dated 1710 A.D. The book itself suggests the balisong was developed in the late 1600's or early 1700's A.D. * The knife dates back to around 800 A.D. and is a traditional weapon of the Filipino fighting art of Eskrima; however, it is not actually a prominent weapon in the art. * The knife was invented around 1900 A.D. in the Philippines and spread by American soldiers returning from World War II. In many U.S. states, it is illegal to possess and/or carry such a knife in public; indeed, doing so is a felony in some states, such as Nevada.

butterfly knife in U.S but i was originated at philippines ..the filipino called that "batangas knife" 

[Roadsideimports]

@XDpinoy I still give credit to the French they have the oldest recorded evidence of this style of knife. The art technique to flipping is definitely all Filipino.

Those tricky butterfly knife skills of yours should look pretty good on your resume when you go for your next job interview, I'm sure. Huh? lol

Why work when we live in a new socialist world. I'll let you work and pay taxes while I sit at home and collect all the free handouts.

Work is overrated so why bother?

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.

Thomas Jefferson

That is why America used to be a REPUBLIC

Jefferson said

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

@Roadsideimports I myself am a Filipino but I would have to agree that it was first invented by the French. They have actual documentations of patents dating back to the 1700s whereas Batangeños say they came up with it during the 1900s (some say 1800s but thats pushing it). Pinoysteel (a leading manufacturer of balisongs in the world) also acknowledges this. One thing is for certain, the popularity of the Filipino Balisong has surpassed that of the European Butterfly Knife for years.
