Balisong, the Folding Pocket Knife is Taal’s Pride
One of the things often associated with Batangueños is balisong. The folding pocket knife that is proudly Philippine-made is among the popular products of Taal.
Balisong, a.k.a. butterfly knife, is considered a symbol of Batangueño courage. It’s just plain figurative association though. It is not true that everywhere a Batangueño goes, he has with him a balisong.
There are a good number of sizes to choose from. From the cutest one that dangles on a key chain to the one as long as a samurai. Need to see all these? Head down to Taal, specifically in Brgy. Balisong where these knives are made.
Can i have the history of barangay balisong? Thanks.
