Choosing Butterfly Knives

Buying guide

Chrome or matte black: two finishes, one butterfly knife

Two models make up this line, identical in build and different in finish: the Polished Chrome Butterfly Knife with Knurled Grip and the Matte Black Knurled Butterfly Knife. Each has two 12.7 cm handles that rotate around an 11.1 cm stainless drop-point blade.

  • Polished chrome catches the light and suits display cabinets and collectors of the classic look; it shows fingerprints, so it needs regular wiping.
  • Matte black hides marks and wear, which suits hobbyists who practise flipping every day.
  • The knurled pattern on both gives grip during rotations, especially once hands warm up.

Who buys a Pakistan butterfly knife? Mostly collectors and enthusiasts of the flipping technique, through specialist knife shops and hobby retailers. Before stocking, confirm the rules in your market, since these knives face more restrictions than ordinary folders in many places. When samples arrive, check that both handles meet evenly when closed, that the latch, where fitted, engages cleanly and that the blade shows no side-to-side play at the pivots. Shops usually order both finishes together, because customers like to compare them in hand.

Questions & answers

Butterfly knife questions from specialist shops

What is the butterfly knife price in Pakistan?

The price for one knife appears on each product page, in rupees (PKR) for visitors in Pakistan. Specialist shops taking several pieces of each finish pay a lower rate per knife. For wholesale butterfly knives, send the quantities on WhatsApp or by email for a quote, and check the import rules for your destination before you order.

What does the word balisong mean?

Balisong is the Filipino name for the butterfly knife, linked to the village of Balisong in Taal, Batangas, where such knives have long been made. The word is often said to come from the Tagalog for broken horn, a nod to early horn handles.

How should the pivots be looked after?

The two pivots carry every movement, so keep them clean. Wipe dust and lint away after handling, add a drop of light oil to each pivot from time to time, and check regularly that the handles still swing freely without side play. Wipe the chrome or matte finish with a dry cloth before storing.
