Thoughts on butterfly knives

[CapnKrunk 307]

Recently....I just got a new knife called a butterfly knife. It's basically a knife that you have to flip out a certain way with your hand. Do you own one? If so, what tricks do you know

[FLARE 951]

I don't have one however I think they are pretty cool, I'd like to get one of them one day, but they are illegal in my state (and whole country AFAIK)

I own one, but I never learned tricks with it. I can open it, but I prefer my easy lock blade.

I actually have a Swiss Army Knife!

(Not joking!)

[Swordfishtrombone 384]

I am... quite neutral on the subject of butterfly knives? I prefer something a little more solid and practical, but for what they are I do suppose they're alright.

i have one (he he they are illegal here) i can only to a 3 flip trick though

[Robojot 152]

i think they are pretty cool and i want one myself, the only problem is that they are ilegal in Norway. :/

I have around four butterfly knifes, but to be honest I never really attempted to learn any tricks with them.

Used to have one, could do some tricks..But they are generally useless for anything else. I use the knives I have, so eventually sold it to a collector who is actually allowed to have it(illegal in Norway). Only knife I usually carry is the gerber paraframe, good for practical tasks, and is just the length(blade) you can legally carry in public over here.

I actually made one from legos

I'd like to get a real one some day. They seem to be legal in Finland.

First thing that comes to mind when I think of butterfly knives is, "But of course!"

 

All I have is a Swiss Army Knife, which is pretty handy being just $24.99 (got a wallet with it too, and the knife has a knife (you don't say?) Bottle opener, toothpick, and tweezers)

When I heard butterfly knives I thought of the film "Kick Ass". To get back on track though, I have seen them and I think they are really cool! I would be interested in getting them. Anyone know of the price?

[Mephala 2,633]

I'd kill myself handling any sort of pointy object.

So no, I do not XD

Ahem... Gentlemen?

When I heard butterfly knives I thought of the film "Kick Ass". To get back on track though, I have seen them and I think they are really cool! I would be interested in getting them. Anyone know of the price? I got mine all the way from the phillipines. They are very common over there, but i'm pretty sure they dont cost a lot In america

My cousin has a butterfly knife disguised as a ballpoint pen. It's awesome.

 

This is basically the knife I have now, except without the biker stuff:

I have one that looks exactly like the Spy's knife from TF2. It's neat for tricks but if you ask me, not that great for stabbing.

[Chill Mists (Chilly) 801]

I find them to be quite interesting and I would like to purchase one but I probably won't end up buying one.

[DrOphthalmos 497]

I own one... not sure what I did with it though.

 

I think my next knife will be a kukri.

[Prince Midnight 817]

ehh, to me butterfly knives are the same as switchblades

[Moosefullaeggs 543]

I have owned two.

 

I was pretty good with 'em.
