A balisword is an exceptionally large butterfly knife. Similar to a normal balisong, two hilts cover the blade of a balisword. These handles fold away from the blade to expose it. The standard length of an open sword is around long. A normal blade measures at around long, with a set of folding hilts about long.
The term "balisword" is a portmanteau of the words "balisong" and "sword". It describes the unique design of both the sword and the hilt(s). Baliswords can reach from to over in length.
Unlike the normal balisong, the balisword is not generally used for performing tricks, known as "flipping", as the handles and blade maintain enough momentum to cause injury if they were to close on a hand. Users are highly advise to wear blade protection such as Chain mail, slash-resistant gauntlets or typically tend to open a balisword with two hands rather than one.
