Folders Vs Fixed Blades: Important Detail Turns Folding Knives into War Machines | Navaja | Balisong KarambitKnives,com
Folding knives have been a staple of personal combat and martial warfare for centuries. Often relegated to second place when compared to fixed blades, today’s improved locking mechanism technologies allow folding knives to turn into a more dominant force in the realm of blade combat.
In this episode I share a broad overview and my personal perspective on the most dominant folding knives in history: the Spanish Navaja and the Filipino Balisong. I feature the Cold Steel Espada XL, and an authentic handmade Batangas Blade, and how their unique design dictate their use in combative contexts. Specifically, I feature the “Cambio” technique from the Loriega Navaja curriculum, and “Kabilaan” from the Felicissimo Dizon Eskrima Mohara curriculum. This is a very special episode, as it offers strategic insights into the unique use of the Navaja and the Balisong, within the context of personal combat.
I hope you enjoy this video! 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽

He sent out what I really wanted to learn. I am trying to learn about my torso, wrists, toes and heels to understand my body and mind with a blade from Laredo Bowie and Espada xl.
I bought that cold steel magnum tanto just off the looks of the tip. I must say it came rather dull.. how do you sharpen yours? Do you use a particular kit.
Thanks for the video. I got an Espada large version. Love it. The only balisong I have is the kershaw lucha. I find it difficult in trying to find someone to teach me. So I use my Kali instruction to inform my use of the balisong. So frustrating. But it’s part of the journey to wisdom I suppose. Salamat po for your video and the cinematography!
