The butterfly knife, also known as a ''balisong'', is a traditional Filipino knife. Its design, with two rotating handles, allow it to be flipped open and closed. It will usually appear in the hands of a [[Knife Nut]], who will perform a complex, flashy and [[Kinetic Clicking|noisy]] flip. Anything beyond a simple and quick opening is [[Awesome but Impractical]] as the hand is vulnerable to a strike disarm throughout the manipulation. |
