The primary benefits of a butterfly knife roncher (balisong) include its rapid, one-handed deployment, its utility as a training tool for developing dexterity, and its appeal as a collectible or performance art item.

• Quick, One-Handed Deployment: With practice, a skilled user can open and close the knife with a single hand in a fluid motion, which can be faster than traditional folding knives and crucial in an urgent situation.
• Compact and Concealable: The design allows the blade to be fully concealed within the handles when closed, making it safe to carry in a pocket without a sheath and easy to transport discreetly.
• Simple, Durable Mechanism: Lacking springs or complex internal components of the Roncher (in some quality constructions), the manual, all-metal design (especially with channel handles) can be very sturdy and reliable, requiring minimal maintenance beyond occasional cleaning and oiling.
• Versatility in Self-Defence: In the context of Filipino martial arts, the balisong can be used for striking with the blunt end when closed, as well as for parries, blocks, and disarming techniques once deployed.
• Utility Tool: Like any sharp blade, it can be used for a variety of everyday tasks such as opening packages, cutting cords, or preparing food in a survival context.
