Butterfly Knife Basic Lessons - Balisong Batangas Concepts

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.

this was invented in the filipines right? i mean it says batangas?

[Roadsideimports]

Debatable. The French have the oldest know artifacts on this, so the French take credit for the invention as of now.

You should call your local police and ask them the question, they might be wrong but at least you know what they enforce.

Hey Good Job dude. Thanks for going slow. These arent ancient sercets. The folks who know how to work the knife should show anyone that has an interest and take time to teach. Thanks.

@Roadsideimports I believe they're illegal to carry per Federal (USA) law -- but don't take my word on it. I know they're legally sold in Connecticut, but not legally carryable.

[killmajaro1]

I h ave a tip... there are gloves out there that are wire weaves. it will keep the knife from cutting you when practicing a new trick. Just search cut resistant glove.
