The DB-29 Butterfly Knife is cut from hand-forged Damascus pattern steel, carries real weight for its size, and is finished to a standard closer to jewelry than to hardware. It is a traditional Filipino balisong made for collectors and flipping enthusiasts, and the combination of a beautiful wooden handle with a rain drop pattern blade reads very differently in the palm than any stamped trainer will.

Rain drop, and what makes it
The rain drop figure comes from drilling or dimpling the welded billet before the final flattening. Where material is removed, the layers underneath bend upward to fill the void, and once the bevel is ground and the acid goes on, those disturbed layers surface as concentric pools scattered down the blade. On a knife this size the effect is dense — dozens of overlapping rings between spine and edge. The core stack is high-carbon, hardened and tempered in oil, so the blade takes a genuinely fine edge rather than the dull safe grind that hobby trainers usually ship with.
The handles
Both channels are dressed in figured hardwood with dark horn bolsters at the pivot end, pinned through steel liners with polished rivets and finished flush so nothing snags a knuckle mid-rotation. Wood is a warmer, quieter material than aluminium: it damps the ring of the handles closing and it sits more comfortably against the fingers during long practice. Weight is distributed toward the pivots, which is what gives the knife its steady, unhurried swing. A latch keeps it closed in the pouch. If the mechanics interest you, our breakdown of how a balisong is put together explains pivots, liners and tang pins properly.
Action and hand fit
Everything is fitted by hand, and it shows in the way the halves fall closed together instead of clacking arhythmically. Smooth, satisfying action, honest high-carbon steel, and a level of fit and finish that mass-produced trainers cannot match — that is the whole argument for a handmade balisong. It is a display and hobby piece in the traditional Filipino style rather than a defensive tool, and it rewards being learned slowly. Beginners should start on something blunt; anyone with a different taste in materials might prefer our buffalo horn handled Damascus balisong.
Please check your local laws
Balisong ownership rules vary by state and by country, and they change. Confirm the position where you live before you order — we would rather lose the sale than see a knife seized. Our summary of butterfly knife laws across the United States is a starting point, not legal advice.
Included, made, and looked after
The balisong arrives with a protective pouch and box. It is made in Memphis, Tennessee and ships under a lifetime warranty, with over two thousand verified reviews behind the workshop. Should you want lettering on it, engraving costs a further twenty-nine dollars.
Keeping the action right
A drop of light oil at each pivot every few weeks is the whole maintenance routine; wipe the excess away so it does not gather grit. Keep the blade itself dry and lightly protected, and do not leave a carbon steel balisong sitting in a damp pouch. Wood wants nothing more than an occasional pass of wax.
