Bladerunners Systems

A result of a vision to create knives that are more performance-centered, Bladerunners Systems was established in 2010 by Lawrence Ho and Edward Anthonis. The company’s first model of the knife was Alpha Beast which combined all the elements important to flipping that the founder found important. Determined to level up the equipment used in flipping competitions, the brand devotedly created balisongs, knives, and gear with a design centered on balance, precision, and quality. BRS is passionate about its balisongs and made its mark in the knife industry for the same. The brand continuously remains engaged in sports dynamics. It has been learning and training, supporting all active events and highlighting events and important sportspersons who dream big as the brand.

BRS is more than just a knife and gear company, it is an art form that is influenced by founders’ backgrounds, interests, experiences, and history. Even the name of the brand is aligned with the dream of making it big in the sports industry. Balisongs have laid the foundation of the brand’s capacity to expand its creativity to make all types of knives that align with its vision of performance and quality. Besides creating good knives, BRS is a believer in creating positive culture and lifestyle and thus it has developed great friendships and connections and engaged in events like Bali Royal Showdown for active networking. Despite catering to the need of a small community of professional flippers, Bladerunners Systems is motivated and committed to creating knives that stand out in the market.

A Deeper Glimpse into Bladerunners Systems

Believing in the fact that “There is a better system”, BRS is deeply rooted in the balisongs community way before the brand came into existence. In 2008, butterfly knife spinning was emerging as a community, and Lawrence and Edward were actively involved in actively creating, inventing tricks, developing competitions, and structuring ways to keep the community involved. This is when they realized the requirement for best-in-class balisongs.

The founders were obsessed with Balisongs and wanted to create the best butterfly knife. Having tried creating every type of butterfly knife, they settled on their first model – ALPHA BEAST. This flipper represents their years of experiences and innovations they put into knife making. What makes the brand so special is that they have not discontinued even a single model of knife they have created in the past. So you have a huge assortment of flippers to choose from. While they are devoted to creating the best balisongs, they are also expanding to create fixed blade knives and pocket folders.

Over time BRS has been described as the “Rolls Royce” of balisongs- the knives renowned for their distinctive milling, intricate detailing, and high quality. All the knives by Bladerunners System are vouched for featuring titanium construction, durable handle materials, and attractive hooks. These knives are perfect for everyone – a professional flipper and an amateur knife enthusiast.

Some of the best knife models by the brand include:

1. Alpha Best Series: This is the main knife of the brand and it continues to get better. They originally sported sandwich-style construction and were focused on providing performance to butterfly knife enthusiasts. It boasted chamfered edges, milled grips, and a 154 cm blade that withstood all the rigors of flipping. Over time, Channel Alpha Beast was introduced and contained more balanced and consistent balisongs.
2. Replicant Series: This knife model features slightly different ergonomics from Alpha Beast. It boasts scale-on-frame construction and has a taller stack and distinctive features which make it stand apart from other balisongs. The Replicant features G-10 handles instead of titanium liners. It has the same tight tolerances as other BRS knives but it also has rounder liners and a textured handle that ensure a solid grip.
3. Barebones Series: Barebones is all about quality and business. The knife flaunts skeletonized stainless steel construction which keeps it lightweight and nimble; giving it the much-needed balance for expert-level aerial flipping tricks. It is available in both trainer and live variants.

The brand has also introduced two new models of knives- the E-Volve and Revo series. The new additions have extended their assortment of knives. All the knives boast precise detailing and efforts the teams underwent to design and manufacture them. Some of the other popular knives are:

1. M.P. – These are In My Pocket Knives designed in collaboration with Tuffknives by Geoff Blauvelt. The knife boasts a unique blade grind and handles feature the distinctive BRS Chevron. The blade is accompanied by a rotating Kydex sheath which can be carried on the belt in different configurations.
2. Apache – Part of the E-volve series, Apache is the conjunction of form and function. The blade is broad and has a leaf-style shape with a high grind, allowing a huge functional cutting surface. The belly of the blade has the perfect sweep for EDC tasks. The handles are made keeping ergonomics in mind and are resistant to abrasion and heat. BRS has emphasized a lot on the flowing lines that connect the handle to the blade. The Apache stands out in the niche of folding knives. It embodies the reason for creating the E-Volve series with its design choices and EDC ergonomics.
3. Khopesh – Khopesh knives are available in 3 blade styles to choose from. Each knife boasts a milled pocket clip in titanium (reversible), handles made in G-10 or marbled and lightning strike carbon fiber, an M390 steel blade, and a caged bearing system for deployment using a thumb ramp, opening, or flipper tab.
4. Nomad – Part of the E-Volve series, the Nomad is designed in collaboration with NovaBlades and is a true workhorse of the lineup. This is essentially a medium-sized pocket folder that boasts steel liners and G-10 scales. The blade bears the shape of a tanto and the handles ensure a secure grip. The knife is bearing-driven and opens from the extended thumb hole.
