Balisong or Butterfly knives, with their revolving handles, and strong locking mechanisms, have had a certain mystique since they were first popularized in the early 1980’s. It’s designed from the ground up to specifically mimic a traditional Balisong or Butterfly knife in every respect but one – it can’t be opened with one hand! That’s right, the Paradox ™ is not a switchblade, gravity knife, or assisted opener and can’t be opened without the use of both hands. So, while it looks like a classic Butterfly knife from the early 80’s, and feels like one in your hand, it isn’t. It’s a legal Balisong!
Every detail of the Paradox™ is a testament to Cold Steel’s renowned craftsmanship. The leaf shaped blade is hollow ground from imported Japanese AUS 8A Stainless (instead of the cheap steel used by our competitors) and, due to the latest advances in heat treatment, it offers a thin, ultra keen edge that lasts.
The skeletonized handles are CNC machined from solid billets of 6061 aluminum (instead of being cheaply cast out of zinc) and feature a hard-anodized coating to reduce scratches and oxidation. If you’re a Balisong fan, but don’t want to take the risk of being arrested, the Paradox™ is a terrific alternative. Clip it to your waistband or pocket where it screams "CUSTOM HAND MADE BALISONG".
