★ Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened (Factory New)

This is a custom-designed balisong, commonly known as a butterfly knife. The defining characteristic of this weapon is the fan-like opening of a freely pivoting blade, allowing rapid deployment or concealment. As a result, butterfly knives are outlawed in many countries. It has been color case-hardened through the application of wood charcoal at high temperatures. A little color never hurt anyone
