Another name for the Balisong in the Philippines is "Bente Nueve" meaning "twenty nine" in Spanish. It refers to the original standard length of the Balisong which is 29cm.

Flipping these at the shops in Batangas and browsing each store’s selections were so cool when I visited PI

[@profatenista]

Glad you like the craftsmanship in Philippine-made balisongs. The tradition continues with every piece hand-made by the dedicated artisans and smiths of Taal in Batangas. On the other hand, many of us here enjoy watching how exciting the art of bali flipping in the U.S. has grown with time.

[@Alltheway02]

What's crazy back in early days in the Philippines. Street gangsters, thugs and bandits used balisong as the most common primary weapon. We also call it "bente nuebe" meaning 29. Because of it's common 29cm blade size. When i was in highschool i used to bring one and always hide it in my socks in case of emergency or need. 😂 Just flip it when enemy is around lol! I still have my scars due to balisong cut during my younger days in street fights in Manila. 😅

[@elliestarlite1136]

Finally a shout out to batangas knives

[@japinoybettajapan]

Deadly in streets in Philippines ❤

[@dudemaverick8114]

I started learning how to flip using my Mother's rusty old Balisong that I cleaned up and restored, it was an anniversary gift from my Dad when they were still BF and GF. And I have to say, even though it's older than me, it still flips pretty well after cleaning it up and removing the rust. I would love to get my hands on one of those.

[@jayr122001]

ive been to batangas and I saw the biggest balisong that's like the size of a car

[@BLAZA31]

As filipino who is extremely obsessed of balisong this new fact is soo cool now imma find it

Original butterflies from the Philippines are "as you say" a work of art. Saw my 1st one from my friend, who's dad brought a couple back from military service.

balisong adopted from the Tagalog word "baling sungay," which translates to "broken horn." This refers to the original handles of the knife, which were made from carabao horns, a type of water buffalo, deer horns, and sometimes bone

[@timberhead2069]

veinte y nueve or 29 is the number term for the the butterfly knife. 29cm or 29 inches in blade length

[@javemartinbringino7456]

That one is probably called here as "bente nuebe" referring to its length we also have "bente tres" and the "de dyis"

[@smoothcriminal7232]

There's no perfect balisong even to this day which makes it great a lot of rooms for innovation.. Maybe the reason behind why he said it was "perfected" in the Philippines because the very first concept of a butterfly knife was invented by a French sailor, but his design can only be used as a concealed knife but Filipinos made it not only to be easier to use but as multi purpose tool
