About (-BRS-) BladeRunnerS Systems Knives


BRS History

The guys behind BRS were already deep in the balisong community before any BRS knife was released. Around 2008, butterfly knife flipping was advancing and the community was as a whole. BRS was actively creating, inventing tricks, developing competitions, and structuring ways to engage the community. That's when they realized the need for premium balisong knives.

Best BRS Knives

BladeRunnerS Systems (-=BRS=-) has its roots deep in the balisong community and has set the standard for balisong performance and engineering. Described as the “Rolls Royce” of balisongs, these knives are known for their precision milling, high attention to detail and incredible quality. In recent years, BRS has grown considerably and has introduced both folding and fixed blade knives to their product line-up. These knives follow suit with other BRS models featuring titanium construction, durable blade materials and eye-catching looks. Whether you’re a competition flipper or a budding knife nut, BRS knives are well worth the price tag. Check out the Best BladeRunnerS Systems (BRS) Knives below!

In addition to an overview of the specs and details of each knife, I’ll also be featuring a review of each knife left by one of our customers.


Alpha Beast Series

The Alpha Beast is the OG BRS knife. Over the years, this knife has seen many updates and iterations, but the overall look, feel and performance has stayed the same. Originally developed with sandwich style construction, the AlphaBeast offered a performance focused option to butterfly knife enthusiasts. It featured chamfered edges, milled grips and a 154CM blade meant to stand up to the rigors of flipping. With time, the Channel Alpha Beast was introduced offering flippers a more balanced and consistent feeling balisong. With its channel (one-piece milled) construction, maintaining the knife is easier and flipping the knife is smoother. Premium and ALT versions The Alpha Beast is truly the crème de la crème of balisong knives, and absolutely worth the investment.

Alpha Beast 3.0

BRS Alpha Beast Knife, Best BRS Knives

The Alpha Beast is not only the flagship model for BRS, but possibly the front runner for the balisong flipper community. This precision machined butterfly knife features perfectly balanced titanium handles with robust pivots tuned for easy manipulation. It comes equipped with a Bead Blast 154CM clip point blade with dual tang pins and a crowned spine.

Specs:

  • Overall Length: 9.875”
  • Blade Length: 4.50”
  • Blade Material: 154CM
  • Handle Material: Titanium
  • Weight: 5.10 oz.
  • Country of Origin: USA
BRS AlphaBeast 3.0 Average Star Review

Colin S. says...

“The AB 3.0 is defiantly one of the best flipping balisongs on the market, the weight is perfect for a full ti balisong. The bushings make it so smooth and ideal for flipping. I'd recommend anyone who is interested in flipping to get this bali because even if you don't end up flipping it all that much its still great for EDC.”

Replicant Series

As BRS grew, they recognized that some bali flippers preferred knives with slightly different ergonomics than the Alpha Beast. By utilizing scale-on-frame construction BRS was able to provide the balisong community a knife which offered a taller stack and different ergonomics than other balisongs at that time. The Replicant features G-10 scales over titanium liners giving it a look and feel that rivals many other butterfly knives on the market. This knife features the same tight tolerances and attention to detail found on other BRS knives, but has rounder lines and a grippy handle texture for a different feel. The BRS Replicant (Rep for short) is available with g-10 or titanium scales and comes in a wide array of colors.

Replicant

The recognizable Scorpion Tip Tanto blade rounds out the knife, making the Replicant a truly refined tool. Much like its predecessor the Alpha Beast, the Replicant has been bioengineered for superior agility, dynamics and performance.

  • Blade Length: 4.50”

Matthew B. says...

“This knife really sings to me. It swings and pivots in the hand with ease, almost as though its begging to be flipped. The balance on this knife lends itself to tricks seamlessly and leaves you craving that "just five more minutes of practice" any time you have to put it down. Its as much an adult toy as a tool or a knife. Short the price I'd almost call it a must try.”

Barebones Series

True to its name, the BRS Barebones is all of the quality and none of the fluff found on other BRS knives. Don’t let that steer you away though. This knife means business. Its skeletonized stainless steel construction makes it light weight and nimble, and gives it the balance needed for both expert level arial tricks and beginner flipping. Available in both trainer and live blade variants, this knife is well worth picking up no matter what level you’re at.

“I like this knife and it has become my new daily carry knife. The knife is light weight, there is no blade play up/down or side to side. The blade is center and there is a firm detent that I like. The knife cannot be shaken open, The fit and finish are flawless. The only issue that I have is that the blade could have been sharper. this is a common issue with new knives these days and easily remedied. i will be purchasing another one.”

Ivan C. says...

“Absolute gem. This baby is a lot of knife in a compact package, the handle is beefy and comfortable, zero hotspots, deployment and lock action are both smooth, and despite being thick at the spine the tanto blade still slices beautifully. Razor sharp out the box. Pocket clip is a bit stiff for my taste, but it's not enough to dock a point.”
