The Balisong or "butterfly knife" enjoys a hallowed place in the culture and history of the Philippines as a key weapon of the Filipino Martial Art known as Eskrima. The legendary Bruce Lee was one of its known practitioners. The Balisong has also made film cameos as the weapon of choice by Hit Girl in the 2009 Kick Ass movie.
WIP Caps presents the Balisong fitted cap to honor this icon. This fitted is an all around black cap with the iconic Filipino blade in 3D embroidery. The wooden handles are accented with a felt inlay and blades in metallic thread to emphasize gleam. Rounding out the rear of the cap is "Bente Nueve" (street name of the Balisong), stitched in a classic cursive font. Get yours now at WIP Caps Online and Hatclub.com.
