Schrade Alkemyst Balisong 1182276

The Schrade Alkemyst Balisong is a precision-built butterfly knife made for serious flippers and steel enthusiasts alike. Proudly made in the USA, this knife is engineered for performance, durability, and the smooth, fluid motion balisong users demand. Whether you're on the training floor or out in the field, the Alkemyst delivers solid reliability with a no-nonsense build.

It features a 4.5" drop point blade crafted from D2 tool steel—a high-carbon, high-chromium alloy known for its excellent edge retention and toughness. The blade has a bead blasted finish that reduces reflection and wear while adding a clean, utilitarian look. The drop point shape offers control and strength, making it ideal for both everyday cutting tasks and tactical applications.

Opening is where the Alkemyst really shines. Thanks to its ball bearing pivot system, the blade glides open with fast, fluid motion, whether you're flipping for speed or precision. A spring-loaded latch lock keeps the blade secure in the closed position, so it stays safely stowed when not in use.

The handles are constructed from bead blasted stainless steel, giving the knife a rugged, balanced feel in hand. Strategically placed cutouts reduce weight without sacrificing strength or grip. This smart design not only improves flipping speed but also helps distribute the knife’s weight for controlled handling. Stainless steel Torx hardware rounds out the build, allowing for quick disassembly and maintenance—because real tools are meant to be used and cared for.

At 5.25" closed and weighing just 4.3 ounces, the Alkemyst strikes an ideal balance between portability and capability. Every element, from the steel choice to the hardware, reflects Schrade’s dedication to making a high-quality American-made balisong that’s ready for real-world use. Order it today from SMKW!
