Description
The Spyderco JaniSong – C191GP is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional Filipino balisong, designed by renowned knife expert Michael Janich. This folding knife features a 3.28" full-flat-ground spear point blade made from CPM-S30V stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade is finished with a satin surface, enhancing its durability and aesthetic appeal.
The handle is constructed from black G-10, providing a secure and comfortable grip. The knife utilizes a unique sliding latch mechanism that secures the blade both when open and closed, ensuring safety during use. Unlike traditional balisongs, the JaniSong's design incorporates an outer handle that serves as the "safe" handle, reducing the risk of accidental contact with the blade.
With practice, the JaniSong can be opened swiftly using various techniques, offering both functionality and flair. It includes a four-position deep-pocket clip for versatile carry options. Proudly made in Taiwan, the JaniSong combines traditional inspiration with modern innovation.
