Its distinct features are two handles counter-rotating around the <a href="/wiki/Tang_(tools)" title="Tang (tools)">tang</a> such that, when closed, the blade is concealed within grooves in the handles. A latch sometimes holds the handles together; typically mounted on the one facing the cutting edge (the "bite handle").<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> An exceptionally large balisong is called a <a href="/wiki/Balisword" title="Balisword">balisword</a>. </p><p>The balisong was commonly used by <a href="/wiki/Filipinos" title="Filipinos">Filipinos</a>, especially those in the <a href="/wiki/Southern_Tagalog" title="Southern Tagalog">Tagalog</a> region, as <a href="/wiki/Self-defense" title="Self-defense">self-defense</a> and a pocket utility knife. <a href="/wiki/Grind#Typical_grinds" title="Grind">Hollow-grind</a> balisongs were also used as <a href="/wiki/Straight_razor" title="Straight razor">straight razors</a> before conventional razors were made available in the Philippines. In the hands of a trained user, the knife blade can be brought out to bear quickly using one hand. Manipulations, called "flipping", are performed for art or amusement. Blunt "trainer" versions of these knives are also available and can be used to practice tricks without the risk of injury. </p><p>The knife is now illegal or restricted in some countries, often under the same laws and for the same reasons that <a href="/wiki/Switchblade" title="Switchblade">switchblades</a> or concealed weapons are restricted.

Oral histories claim that the knives were first created in the Philippines in 800 CE. However, there is no documentation or archeological evidence to back this. Balisong's mass production in the Philippines can only be attested to the early 1900s. Another claim is that balisong was originally an adaptation of a French measuring tool called the <i>pied du roi</i> ("foot of the king"), invented between the 1500s to the late 1760s. However, how it was introduced to the Philippines is unknown. There are theories that it may have been introduced by sailors in the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Empire" title="Spanish Empire">Spanish Empire</a>, which was then allied with France.<sup id="cite_ref-brown_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-brown-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Morel_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Morel-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Regardless of origin, the modern balisong was perfected in the Philippines, where it became much larger, and was predominantly used as a weapon, not just a tool. The quick opening techniques ("flipping") were also developed in the Philippines. In contrast, the French <i>pied du roi</i> was primarily a folding <a href="/wiki/Ruler" title="Ruler">ruler</a>, with the knife only included in some specimens as a novelty. They were cumbersome to open and unlikely to be used for self-defense, especially since they also commonly included a metal tang at a right angle from the end of the handle to aid in measuring.<sup id="cite_ref-brown_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-brown-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Morel_10-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Morel-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> There were also very similar designs to the balisong produced in <a href="/wiki/England" title="England">England</a> in the late 19th century, presumably also derived from the <i>pied du roi</i>.

They allow the pivot pins to be adjusted more tightly without binding. When the knife is closed, the blade rests between the layers. </p><p>For a channel-constructed balisong, the main part of each handle is formed from one piece of material. In this handle, a groove is created (either by folding, milling, or being integrally cast) in which the blade rests when the knife is closed. This style is regarded as being stronger than sandwich construction. </p><p>Additionally, the two constructions can be combined to form the "chanwich construction", which involves two halves of a channel handle screwed together. Although rare, this construction generally keeps the best elements of both constructions and discards the worst, as it retains the better handle shape channel construction is known for, while still allowing adjustment of the tightness the handles are held together with to some extent, as well as easier access to the inside of the handle for cleaning. One notable example is the Tsunami from Squid Industries.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>There are also three methods of operation balisongs use: bearings, bushings, or only washers.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Bearing-operated balisongs have small ball bearings housed in a circular concavity around the hole in the pivot. These bearings allow the handles of the balisong to rotate. </p><p>Bushing-operated balisongs have a small metal bushing slightly thicker than the tang in each pivot hole with a usually bronze disc known as a washer on each side. These washers clamp down on the bushing, but not on the tang, when the pivot screw is tightened, allowing the handle to rotate around the tang. </p><p>There are also washer-only operated balisongs which are usually much cheaper and lower quality than the other kinds, as they don't need bushings, but the handles will always bind to the tang when the screws are tightened enough and the washers, tang and handles all wear themselves down much faster due to the increased friction. </p><p>Some of the blades of traditional butterfly knives in the Philippines were made from steel taken from railroad tracks, thus giving them a decent amount of durability and toughness, while others are made from recycled <a href="/wiki/Leaf_spring#By_blacksmiths" title="Leaf spring">leaf springs</a> of vehicles. </p><p>Most modern balisongs, such as the Benchmade 51, do not use tang pins. Instead, they use "zen pins", which are two small pins embedded in the top of the handles of the balisong which make contact with the bottom of the blade. A balisong with zen pins negates the problem of having the tang pins fall out (as is typical of some cheaper models). </p><p>Some modern balisongs also have a "pinless" system, in which they do not have any pins, and instead rely on the material of the handles to make contact with the blade, similar to how zen pins work. One notable example of a pinless balisong is the Squid Industries Swordfish.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Parts">Parts</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Butterfly_knife&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Parts"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Parts_of_a_balisong3.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Parts_of_a_balisong3.jpg/220px-Parts_of_a_balisong3.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="224" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Parts_of_a_balisong3.jpg/330px-Parts_of_a_balisong3.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Parts_of_a_balisong3.jpg/440px-Parts_of_a_balisong3.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1522" data-file-height="1552" /></a><figcaption>Parts of a Benchmade 42</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Opening_and_closing_a_Balisong_aka_Butterfly_Knife.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/Opening_and_closing_a_Balisong_aka_Butterfly_Knife.gif" decoding="async" width="174" height="115" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="174" data-file-height="115" /></a><figcaption>A balisong being opened and closed</figcaption></figure> <dl><dt>Bite handle</dt> <dd>The handle that closes on the sharp edge of the blade, and will cut the user if they are holding that handle when the knife closes.
