If you're looking for a balisong that feels like a serious step up from the typical entry-level flipper, the
Nighthawk Butterfly Knife Set delivers a lightweight, precision-built design along with both a trainer and a sharpened live blade. With its CNC-milled aluminum handles, smooth bushing system, and sleek black finish, this high-end butterfly knife is made for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate both performance and attention to detail.
The handles are CNC milled from 6061 aluminum alloy, keeping the Nighthawk surprisingly lightweight at approximately 3.6 ounces. Beveled channels run along the handles to give the knife a clean, modern appearance while also providing additional texture for a more secure grip. The reduced weight and balanced construction make it comfortable in the hand and well suited for practicing flipping techniques.
One of the biggest advantages of this set is that you don't have to choose between a trainer and a live blade. The Nighthawk includes both. The D2 steel trainer blade allows you to practice new tricks and handling techniques without immediately moving to a sharpened edge. Once you're comfortable with the knife, the included D2 steel live blade gives you the option of converting it into a fully sharpened balisong.
The Nighthawk also uses Zen pins in the handles rather than a traditional tang pin on the blade, helping give the knife its streamlined construction. A high-quality bushing system provides smooth handle movement for flipping, while the included maintenance hardware makes it easier to keep everything properly assembled and adjusted. The set even includes a star screwdriver along with extra bushings, pins, screws, and washers.
Whether you're upgrading from a basic trainer, adding another flipper to your collection, or simply looking for something more refined than an inexpensive balisong, the Nighthawk offers an impressive combination of materials, design, and versatility. You can also check out our complete selection of
