Spyderco C191GP Janisong – Innovative Balisong Design by Michael Janich
The Spyderco Janisong is not your typical butterfly knife. Designed by renowned self-defense expert Michael Janich, this unique balisong-style folder reimagines traditional form with an innovative twist—literally.
Unlike standard butterfly knives, the Janisong features a single latch handle and a blade that pivots inside the handle, secured by a spring-loaded latch. This distinctive design minimizes exposure to the sharpened edge during deployment, making it a standout in both safety and innovation.
Crafted with a CPM S30V stainless steel blade and machined stainless steel handles, the Janisong combines premium materials with a truly one-of-a-kind mechanism. Originally restricted to specialized markets due to legal regulations, this knife is a rare find for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
