Balikot - Magnetic Titanium Balisong Knife: A Modern Tribute to the Balisong Legacy

Inspired by Tradition, Engineered for Simplicity
The Balikot Magnetic Titanium Balisong Knife draws inspiration from the legendary balisong knife, also known as the butterfly knife.

The Balikot reimagines this legacy with a minimalist, modern twist, featuring an innovative magnetic mechanism that simplifies the design while enhancing functionality. This is a knife for those who value tradition but demand innovation.

CRAFTING MODERN TOOLS THAT EMPOWER THE MODERN WARRIOR.

Gravity knives were originally designed as a practical tool, primarily for military purposes.

Developed during World War lI by German paratroopers, the unique sliding blade mechanism allowed soldiers to operate the knife with one hand, which was crucial if they needed to cut themselves free from parachute cords or other gear while using their other hand for stability or balance.

The gravity-operated sliding mechanism also allowed the knife to be deployed quickly and efficiently.

Unlike spring-loaded switchblades, which use a mechanical spring to push the blade out, gravity knives rely on the blade's weight and gravity to slide open.

This design was both simple and reliable in harsh conditions

This minimized the need for complex parts that could jam or break in the field. Over time, gravity knives became more widely available, though they remain a specialty tool with specific use cases, especially where one-handed operation is essential.

The Legacy of WW2 Rigger Pouches

Originally crafted by paratroopers and riggers in the field, these pouches were born out of necessity. Soldiers needed lightweight, durable, and versatile solutions to carry critical gear such as ammunition, tools, and personal items during combat. Using spare canvas, riggers fashioned pouches that could be easily attached to belts or harnesses, embodying resourcefulness and practicality. The Rigger Pouch honors this history by embracing the same principles of adaptability and durability.
