The Schrade Alkymest Butterfly Folding Knife (brand part no. 1182276) is a 4-inch balisong built as part of Schrade’s ALPHA CLASS lineup and proudly made in the USA. Its modified clip point blade is machined from D2 tool steel for solid edge retention, and it swings between a pair of stainless steel handles secured by a spring latch lock rather than a simple friction pin. Schrade built this model for balisong flippers who want a knife that can hold up to repeated opening and closing routines, not just a display piece. The silver blade finish gives it a classic, polished look.
