Balisword
A balisword is an exceptionally large balisong. Similar to a normal balisong, two hilts cover the blade of a balisword. These handles fold away from the blade to expose it. The standard length of an open sword is around Script error: No such module "convert". long. A normal blade measures at around Script error: No such module "convert". long, with a set of folding hilts about Script error: No such module "convert". long.
The term "balisword" is a portmanteau of the words "balisong" and "sword". It describes the unique design of both the sword and the hilt(s). Baliswords can reach from Script error: No such module "convert". to over Script error: No such module "convert". in length.[1]
Unlike the normal balisong, the balisword is not generally used for performing tricks, known as "flipping", as the handles and blade maintain enough momentum to cause injury if they were to close on a hand. Users are highly advise to wear blade protection such as chainmail gloves, slash-resistant gauntlets or typically tend to open a balisword with two hands rather than one.
