Butterfly Knives

           The butterfly knives are those hunting knives that are made of two handles which rotates so it closes the blade between them. This kind of knife is also known as Bailsong. The handling of the knife (flipping) is usually very hard to perform and require a lot of exercise. This is the reason why it is used as an art of performing and for fun.  It is said that this hunting knifes are the most ancient inventions used as weapons by the Filipino people.

             I wanted to talk a little bit about all the different kinds of Knives that are out there. This is a site about Butterfly Knives but its also a site that Knife enthusiast would like and if your like me you have quite the selection to look at and play with. When you think about it there are 100 of different styles of knives, anywhere from a Bowie Knives, Pocket Knife, Switch Blade, Throwing Knives, Hunting Knives, you name it they have made it. Some of my favorite Knives are mead-evil, now you talk about some crazy design, I am not sure what some of these guys are on when they make them but man they are cool. I use to love to carry my Bowie Knife around with me were ever I went, now it would kind of freak people out when they would see this huge Knife hanging from my side and I would walk into a store or something, kind of funny in a way. I had a buddy at work who made hand made Knives and I ask him to make one special for me, and I wanted him to use this peace of Iron wood that I found out in Phoenix, man when he got done with that and he told me it was going to be $300.00 I did not even blink an eye, that was one of the finest Knives I have ever seen.

            Hunting Knives are cool, I have never been much of a hunter but I plan to do some next year with some of the guys from work, and I am excited because I actually get to use one of my hunting knives that I have had for over 15 years now. It’s the little things in life that seem to get me excited and when you have a passion like I do for Knives it’s easy to get excited when I am talk about them. I found a cool old picture of a Benchmade Butterfly Knife.

I like how it looks so simple but yet so beautiful. A Butterfly Knife is very fun to use once you know how to do it properly. On the other hand I have a couple of Switch Blades but never have been a huge fan of them. I have three in my collection but they seem to carry a bad rap with them, and get look at as a gang thing and that really disappoints me, because they gentle men who created it would not want to be associated with that.  Please take time to look threw what I have to say and if you fill like taking a look at some of my other Knives site here they are.
