TheBenchmade 85 Balisong is a premium butterfly knife, distinguished by its classic design, excellent quality of materials and perfect balance for performing impressive tricks.
Utility head
Theknife has a utilitarian drop-point profile head, finished with a stonewash (abrasive stone bath) technique. The matte blade is easier to clean and does not reflect light. The renowned CPM-S30V steel was used in the construction of the blade.
Crucible Industries'S30V powder steel is hardened to an optimal hardness of 58-60 HRC, so it maintains high sharpness for a long time, has high mechanical strength, and is also resistant to corrosion.
Thanks to its high vanadium carbide content, the steel is distinguished by its high impact and wear resistance, as well as its excellent cutting properties.
When choosing a hard steel knife, get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.
Perfect balance
Theknife is perfectly balanced thanks to the shifting of the blade's center of gravity closer to the tip, the use of a longitudinal cutout in the blade and lightweight titanium shoulders. This design ensures controlled flipping of the knife and easy performance of impressive tricks.
Reliable mechanics
The long blade runs on stainless steel ball bearings, which guarantees smooth and reliable operation. The knife has a simple and easily disassembled design, so the user can take care of its regular maintenance and cleaning.
Titanium handle
Thearms with a tunnel-like design are made of milled pieces of titanium. This material is characterized by light weight, total resistance to corrosion, mechanical damage, and is not sensitive to high temperatures, acids and seawater.
The arms have beveled and rounded edges, so performing tricks with this knife is pure pleasure.
Magnetic lock
In the closed state and when the blade is unfolded, the arms are locked by a magnetic T-latch. In the folded state, the lock opens under hand pressure, allowing the knife to be unfolded with one hand.
Thanks to the use of magnetic inserts, the lock does not hit the opposite arm when performing tricks and securely holds the knife in the closed position.
The set comes with a functional sheath, which allows you to safely carry the knife vertically and horizontally.
High-quality materials, excellent mechanics and classic style make the Benchmade 85 Balisong very popular among knife collectors.
