Let’s talk about a Butterfly Knife and why do so many people collect and like to use them. When I did a search on YouTube I found thousands of videos showing people using Butterfly Knives and talking about them. Butterfly Knifes are fun and they do seem to have a big fan base, not sure if everyone enjoys them like I do, but for the most part its nice to see that there are so many out there. I am thinking about starting a support group and just see how many other collectors I can get. I will keep you up to date on that, and also fill free to leave a comment on anything you would like to see on this site. Lets keep the Butterfly Knife community together.
When Buying A Butterfly Knife:
I wanted to take a minute and talk about buying a butterfly knife. If and when your ready to buy, and your not sure what to look for, this will be the post that will help point you in the right direction. The first thing is name brand, is it a good thing or a bad thing? I have many name brand butterfly knives and I don’t regret buying any of them. What you want to know about those big named companies is what material are they using, and what components are in the knife it self. You want to have AT32 steel at a minim, and you want titanium handles and roller ball bearings. This is the standard in a high end knife. I have found a knife maker who does an amazing job, and he uses all these components and puts the design on them the way I want them to look. So if I can leave you with this find a good knife builder and have him use these components, and draw out how you want it to look.
When Selling A Butterfly Knife:
When you understand what it takes to build that knife your able to put a price on the knife you want to sell. First when you’re looking to sell a high end knife you want to take the entire component parts price and add1.5% to that cost. Second you want to take the man hours put into making that knife, and put a dollar value at $150.00 and hour, and from this you have a good and fair price for a high end custom hand made knife. Know if you’re selling a mass productive knife from a big name like Buck, you will need to go to sites like EBay, Yahoo actions, and Amazon to see what others are selling them for. I have been to a few gun shows, and set up a table and put some of my knives out their and did very well.
If you have any other question please fill free to send me a comment, and I will get back to you. I also take articles from other Knife collecters, and will post them on my site here after reading and approving it.
