Knife Cold Steel FGX Balisong Tanto | Black

The Cold Steel FGX Balisong (Nightshade Folder) training folding knife is designed for practicing balisong skills, also known as the “butterfly knife,” as well as for light household tasks in everyday life. This model was created by the renowned American brand Cold Steel, which has been one of the world leaders in the development and production of innovative edged and training knives for military personnel, athletes, and civilian users for more than 40 years.

The FGX Balisong is made from the patented Griv-Ex™ material — a fiberglass-reinforced, heat-resistant polyamide. Thanks to this, the knife has an extremely low weight (only 62 g), is completely resistant to corrosion, retains its strength even during repeated and intensive training, and contains no metal parts. This makes it a safe and ideal choice for practicing balisong manipulation in the gym, on the training ground, or at home.

The blade is designed in the American Tanto style — a classic tactical-utility knife profile that guarantees high tip strength and impressive versatility for household tasks or training thrusts. The blade is secured in the open and closed positions by holding the handles in the palm or with a special locking latch that imitates the classic mechanism of a real balisong. Opening is performed using an inertia-based method, ideal for practicing coordination and reflex movements.

Thanks to its length of 279 mm when open and an optimal blade thickness of 2.5 mm, the training FGX Balisong closely resembles the “combat” dimensions of a traditional butterfly knife while presenting minimal risks during training. Without a pocket clip or sheath, the knife is convenient to carry in its box or in a sports bag.

The Cold Steel FGX Balisong is a training tool that is ideal for military personnel, police officers, self-defense practitioners, or balisong athletes who want to improve their skills using a highly realistic yet safe training knife.
