Why butterfly knives and balisongs? Mostly because they are really cool to watch in the hands of an expert. Butterfly knives, sometimes known as a balisong, is a Philippine folding knife that has two handles. The handles counter rotate around the tang of the knife so that when the knife is closed the blade is concealed within the handles. A expert butterflier can move the manipulate the knife quickly to bring it from a completely closed position to a fully open position quickly. The picture shows an open butterfly knife.
