Balisong Talisman: Set of 12 Mini Butterfly Knives for Collectors and Enthusiasts
Practical Use and Design
These mini butterflies are not just for show. Thanks to the practical key ring with a swivel clasp, you can easily attach them to keys, backpacks, or belt loops. The mechanism works on the same principle as the full-sized originals – the blade is safely tucked between two handles that flip and lock when opened. They are ideal as:
- EDC accessories (Every Day Carry) for small cutting tasks.
- Fidget toys for training fine motor skills (caution: practice is required!).
- A stylish accessory for fans of martial arts and bladesmithing.
- Unique items for LARP or modern costumes as a small hidden tool.

Historical Insight: Origins of the Butterfly Knife
The balisong, commonly known as the "butterfly knife," has its roots in the Philippines. While its exact origin is debated, it is most closely associated with the Batangas province. Originally, it was a tool for farmers and fishermen that could be opened with one hand while the other hand held a rope or a net. Later, it became an iconic weapon in Philippine martial arts (Kali / Escrima). Interestingly, the name "balisong" translates to "broken horn," referring to the traditional materials used for the handles.
Care and Safety Instructions
To ensure these small companions serve you for a long time, I recommend occasionally applying a small amount of fine machine oil to the pivots (joints) of the handles. This will ensure smooth operation of the mechanism. If the knife gets wet, remember to dry it thoroughly to maintain the steel's finish.
Warning: Although these are miniatures, the blades are made of real steel and are sharp. Never point them at yourself or others. This is not a toy for small children. There is a risk of cutting your fingers when manipulating (flipping) the knife, so be careful and take your time. The product is intended for decorative and light cutting purposes, not for heavy-duty use.
