The Alpha Beast Balisong is the flagship butterfly knife in the -=BRS=- lineup. It is the Alpha and the Omega – the first an the best knife they make.
Developed from the ground up to be the best possible flipping balisong available it features titanium handles and tang pin construction.
In the beginning the Alpha Beast only was available as a sandwich style constructed balisong but as Bladerunners Systems grew so to did the Alpha Beast.
Today the Alpha Beast is available as both a sandwich style balisong and a channel balisong which is known as a CHAB or channel alpha beast.
Alpha Beast Balisong Variants
The beast has been sku bombed over the year shipping in a multitude of different blade styles and handle styles.
The standard AB features a unique scimitar clip point style blade but over time it has been released with both a bowie style blade and kukri style blade.
Premium Versions have also been released which typically have some sort of anondized handles, radiused handle scales and/or crowned blade spines and often have pocket clips
Green anondized alpha beast balisongs with blackwashed blades have been commonly referred to as Venom models.

Much like Costco Rotisserie Chickens and the Taco Bell value menu the price of the standard Alpha Beast remains unchanged – $369.99.
While that price may seem high, I assure you that for a USA manufactured knife to not have increased its price in over 10 years is a testament to the dedication to the flipping community of Bladerunners Systems.
