2" Balisong: Palacio

Post by CDR_Glock »

I was truly intrigued by this 2" blade Wharncliffe style bladed balisong. It has an Eagle Tang and T-latch. It features a Batangas style latch. Being an intermediate to the Nouveau method of flipping, it is not easy to do rollovers. I haven't tried aerials but I don't think that would be hard.

It is a unique knife and it's decent to flip with just 3 fingers. However the short handle and extended tangs get into the way.

The following specs by the maker:
BALISONG#PLB-10
Blade Length -5.5 cm
Blade Thickness- 3/16 inches
Blade Materials - 1095 High Carbon Steel
Handle Materials - 303 Stainless Steel
Overall Length - 13.5cm

I have it next to a 42:
