Butterfly Knife Demonstrations 2 - Balisong Batangas Tricks

http://www.AssistedKnife.com Balisong, called a Butterfly knife in the West, & 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. 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 & recycled knife blades. The name butterfly knife is a term coined in the United States. The history of the butterfly knife is uncertain. The knife may actually have been invented by the French. The book "Le Perret" suggests it was developed in the late 1600’s or early 1700’s Around 800 AD & is a traditional weapon of the Filipino fighting art of Eskrima. The knife was invented around 1900 A.D. in the Philippines & spread by American soldiers returning from World War II.
