true-blue, proud Batangueña

"Balisong, otherwise known as a butterfly knife or a Batangas knife, is a folding pocket knife with two handles counter-rotating around the tang such that, when closed, the blade is concealed within grooves in the handles. In the hands of a trained user, the knife blade can be brought to bear quickly using one hand. Manipulations, called flipping, are performed for art or amusement."

It sounds really stupid--my being a true-blue, proud Batangueña and all--that I only got myself one of these today. Yes, today, after more than twenty-one years of walking God's green earth. Tsk.
