First popularized by the Balisong company in the early 1980's, the Butterfly knife with its revolving handles and super strong lock took the entire nation by storm. There has been, however, one catch. Since the early 1990's, United States Customs has forbidden the importation of all Butterfly knives under (what can only be assumed to be) their arbitrary interpretation of the Switch Blade Act. This policy has, in turn, severely curtailed the available market supply of these awesome tactical folders. For years now, Cold Steel® has sat back, silently chaffing under this situation's utter unreasonableness, made all the more dire since we know full well that there are lots of fans of the Butterfly knife out there. Ultimately, there arose the necessity to do something to remedy the dismal state of things as they were, and so we created our own Butterfly knives. Our Arc-Angel? Butterfly knives are precision made right here in the USA and display the finest craftsmanship. The blades are flat ground out of our famous Carbon V® steel and honed to a razor edge for real cutting power. The skeletonized handles are CNC machined out of solid Titanium billets (not cast, like cheap knives) for maximum strength without unnecessary weight or bulkiness. Each knife is hand polished and assembled by skilled technicians for flawless opening and closing action that will both delight and amaze you. Finally to increase the portability of your Arc-Angel? we have integrated a state of the art pocket clip so you can carry it discretely wherever you go.
