CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for precision and commanding presence, the Heibel Menace Balisong #29 delivers a focused flipping experience with a bold, high-contrast design. Butterfly knives are driven by motion and control, and this model is engineered to keep every transition smooth, deliberate, and consistent.
The 5.5" Damasteel blade features a two tone finish that enhances the natural layering of the steel while adding visual depth and contrast across its surface. It’s paired with black coated 6Al-4V titanium handles, giving the knife a stealthy, durable foundation that stands up to hard use while maintaining a clean, tactical look.
The Menace platform is built around balance and reliability. Its channel, tapered handle construction allows the knife to rotate naturally, creating a predictable feel through fast, technical flipping sequences. The ergonomic design sits comfortably in hand, helping maintain control while reducing fatigue during extended sessions.
Inside, stainless steel bushings and phosphor bronze washers work together to deliver smooth, stable action with minimal friction. Tang pins ensure consistent engagement, while TiConnector stainless steel pivots with T8 Torx hardware provide strength and easy tuning. Every detail is designed to keep the knife responsive and dependable in motion.
With an overall length of 10.35" and a weight of 4.8 ounces, the Menace #29 offers a solid balance of momentum and agility, making it well-suited for both controlled practice and advanced flipping techniques.
