Filipino Batangas Balisong 17"

[kschaffer3]

I came across this Balisong or Balisword a few days ago and I see that ebay does not allow the sales of them. I deal with estates and antiques and looked for an outlet to sell this item.

Link to a photo of the balisong below

It measures 17" closed. The handles look like rosewood with bone or ivory in the middle. It has an eagle on the base of the tang and is very heavy and sharp!
The blade has no wear. It has razor sharp teeth on the opposite side of the sharpened blade. Blade is shiny with no scratches. I will be posting more photos

I've been told it is a Filipino handmade piece and have seen them priced from $250.00 - $325.00.

Paypal, money order or check

Anyone interested can email me and if you need to call and talk to me personally, I will send you my number to contact me.

asking price $215.00 or make offer

Is this really 17" CLOSED? Or is that open?

Yes, that is right 17" Closed! it is about 34" open. This thing is Huge! It would actually be a Balisword
