Many knife fans have a special affinity for the Filipino balisong or butterfly knife. Its unique twin-handled design allows it to be spun, flipped, twirled, and manipulated in countless ways, challenging their dexterity and creativity and providing endless hours of fun. Unfortunately, the legality of the balisong is restricted in many areas and practicing with them—even for fun—is not a “socially friendly” activity.
The BaliYo® solves that problem by combining the distinctive twin-handled design of a balisong with a high-performance pen instead of a blade. The result is a remarkable skill-based toy that offers all the versatility, creativity, and fun of a balisong in a format that is welcome everywhere.
For beginners, our imported BaliYos are a great way of catching the BaliYo bug on a budget. They are slightly lighter and use more economical ink cartridges than our USA-made BaliYos, but can still be flipped, swung, twirled, and spun in a variety of patterns, transforming this everyday writing tool into a fun and challenging game of skill. Available in a choice of black or gray, their central pen body features a retractable cartridge to serve as a fully functional writing instrument. Their twin handles, like the pen body, are molded from tough, high-impact plastic and have stainless steel rings at the ends to add weight and momentum.
