Hey guys and gals, take a look at this Benchmade site , at the very bottom of the page. Let me point it out for ya:
Note the text in red and bold. 800 a.d.?! (That's 800 after Jesus' birth, right?) Am I missing something, is BM lying, or do they know something we don't?BALI-SONG®
As much an art form as it is the ultimate example of form following function. The balisong or butterfly knife is of Filipino ancestry dating back to nearly 800 A.D. It's basic form consists of a pin-hinged, two piece handle which when closed encases the blade for carry. And when opened, come together to form the knife handle for blade use. This can all be accomplished with a single hand making the tool that much more utility capable. Benchmade is recognized as the leader when it comes to making Bali-Song® knives.
