CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bear & Son Bear Song VIII Balisong stands as a finely crafted knife that blends precision engineering with the artistry of balisong flipping. Unlike standard folding knives, butterfly knives are built less for utility and more for the fluid motion that makes them so distinctive. Enthusiasts value the way the split handles rotate and spin around the blade, creating a seamless performance that looks almost like a butterfly in flight. With the Bear Song VIII, that heritage of motion meets rugged American craftsmanship.
This balisong is built with a 4" satin finished 154CM stainless steel clip point blade, known for its exceptional edge retention, strength, and resistance to wear. The blade deploys smoothly with a spring-loaded lock and ball bearing washers, ensuring the action feels quick, fluid, and dependable whether in practice or performance. Its gray Cerakote stainless steel handles give it a sleek, tactical look while also offering the durability and grip needed for serious use. Lightweight at 5.1oz and measuring 5.25" closed, it strikes a balance between solid heft and easy maneuverability. A tip-up ambidextrous pocket clip rounds out its carry-friendly design, making it just as practical on the go as it is impressive in hand.
Proudly made in the USA, the Bear Song VIII is a testament to Bear & Son’s dedication to quality blades. And when it comes to finding this balisong, Smoky Mountain Knife Works is the place to go.
