Part #: JBBCASW | Brous Blades
Description
JBBCASW: BlackCELL Butterfly Knife, Black Acid Stonewashed
Brous Blades
The BlackCELL is Brous Blades' second venture into the balisong market. Jason has spent many months perfecting the look and feel of the knife to achieve a satisfying action. The D2 blade rides on a bushing and washer system to provide a smooth flipping action without compromising strength. In order to reduce and balance the weight of the knife, he strategically milled cut outs into the blade and handles. The milled cutouts also give the knife a unique look and provide added grip as well as purposed placed weight on the opposite ends of the knife for supreme flipping momentum. The BlackCELL also features titanium liners with 3D machined black G10 scales. The strategically placed pocket clip is located on the bite handle, allowing you to carry it in either pocket without the need to swap it from one side to the other. The BlackCELL is a great addition to any knife collection whether you can flip or not.

Hugh
This is a quality knife. The G10 material is very precise and feels seemless against the titanium. The weight is well balanced and flips easily and has great control for roll overs. The pocket clip is low profile and doesn’t get in the way of flipping. This is s great knife for collecting and flipping.

2nd time is the charm
I have been a knife collector and balisong enthusiast for 30 years. With over 100 balisongs from customs to midtechs to production models I have enjoyed flipping, tweaking, rebuilding etc, I can say in simple words that this particular (2nd attempt) by Brous is very balanced, ideal mid-weight (for my taste) and well built and defined. If I had to compare it to one of the other manufacturers/models when it comes to performance and action it reminds me very much of the Tachyon 3. Although I do not have many Brous blades in my entire knife collection due to specifics of my particular collecting and use interests, I will say this is one balisong I do recommend. The edges are extremely tight, flips very smooth, and the overall appearance is very unique. The pocket clip makes it a daily carry for me in my area and profession. No sheath (would be nice as a bonus) but would not use one anyway, a pocket clip is better for my needs.
