    What I’ve Learned From Paying More Attention to the Final Grind

    One thing I’ve been paying more attention to lately is how much the final grind changes the way a knife feels. It is easy to spend most of the time thinking about the steel and heat treatment, but two knives made from the same steel can feel completely different once you start looking at the...

    Bull Cutters: The Ranch Pattern People Keep Mislabeling

    I keep seeing the same thing come up when bull cutters get discussed: one person calls it a skinner, someone else calls it a small Bowie, and somebody else says it is just whatever the seller decided to put on the listing. The name actually has some history behind it. A traditional bull cutter...

    A Few Current Balisongs: 440C, D2 and Traditional Handle Materials

    One thing I enjoy about handmade balisongs is that changing the steel or handle material can make two knives from the same general tradition feel completely different. For example, the BF-13 Bear uses 440C with brass and Kamagong wood inserts. It is a fairly straightforward traditional-looking...

    A Little About Balisongs, Batangas Craft, and What We’re Making

    I’ve been spending a lot of time lately looking back at where the balisong actually came from, rather than just repeating the usual internet version of the story. The connection to Taal and Batangas is what makes the history interesting. The traditional knife developed into a real local craft...

    Trainer or Live Blade? A Beginner Question Worth Answering

    There seems to be a lot of confusion around trainers, especially from people who are completely new to balisongs. A trainer isn't necessarily a cheaper or completely different version of a butterfly knife. A properly made trainer can have the same handles, weight, balance and pivot setup as the...

    A Few Balisong Parts That Actually Matter

    One thing I noticed when learning more about balisongs is that most beginner explanations spend a lot of time talking about flipping and not enough time explaining what is actually happening mechanically. The two handles, pivots, tang pins, latch and blade all have pretty specific jobs. For...
