Basilisk (#095)

Hom, Jerry

Hom Design started with an idea that the balisong community needed another option for quality knives. Back in 2006, it was either run-of-the-mill production butterfly knives or expensive custom art pieces. Many were designed to look “traditional” and were uninspired. Our original G10 Basilisk Balisong launched in 2007 as a statement to redefine what a production butterfly knife should be. The limited midtech run of the Basilisk offered a sophisticated and daring design built on a system that was designed for flipping. Featuring a gnarly hollow hand ground blade, hand tuned bushings, multi-colored rounded/textured G10 handle overlays, and weighted backspacers; the launch model offered a plethora of features at a highly reasonable price. Our mission remains the same today — Hom Design is committed to creating highly inspired knives of the highest quality. Material innovation and passion for design are the cornerstones of our products.
