If you want to buy butterfly knives then you want to take a look at 888knives they have a great selection of butterfly knives. When I first started my collection I was not sure who to really deal with, and of course I only had my local swap meet which were all China knock off’s. I told a story of a buddy of mine who went to buy butterfly knives, and he was not really up to date on what to look for or what questions to ask. So he ended up with a $600 dollar butterfly knife that was worth $25.00 at best. So make sure you’re getting a good deal when the guy is telling you that.
To go out and buy butterfly knives is not the smartest thing to do. I like to wait for a gun show or something like that; I always find good deals, and true collectors who have the good choices. I am not a big fan of broker knives either just because you’re not sure what you’re getting; only what someone is telling you. So unless you trust a broker to purchase your knives, try to do all the work your self. Plus I find it’s more fulfilling to go out, and find those hidden treasures. I use to buy butterfly knives from a broker for a little while and I got a few good ones but overall I missed going to the trade shows, and looking for them my self.
The one question I get a lot is are butterfly knives illegal, and yes they are for the most part but each state has its own laws so you want to make sure, and find out how they fill about someone carrying a butterfly knife. I have had run in with the law, and had a knife on me and they try and give me a hard time, but if your cool with them, and show them respect they usually will let you go with a warning. So again if your going to buy butterfly knives then make sure you ask the right questions, and you spend some time looking around for the best deal. I don’t want anyone to end up like my buddy Brain, and be out $600.00 for nothing. Please fill free to drop me a line and let me know your thoughts, and also tell me about your knife collection, I always like to here about other collectors out there.

The butter fly knife is made up of about seven parts if you think about it a knife like this to be built in the early 800’s would have been quite the invention for that time, if that was truly when it was first built. There are four basic movements that you do to open and close a . First you pop the safety latch, then you flip open blade facing away from your hand, then you spin, and finely you flip back and pop latch. Now to watch a professional do this it looks tricky and it is, but just like nun chucks and other martial art weapons its technique and practice of course. Butterfly Knives are considered Pocket Knives and can be concealed as long as you remember to use the safety latch otherwise it hurts if it opens in your pocket while your running, yea bad memory there, anyhow if you would like to Buy Butterfly Knives you can find great deals all over the internet, as low as $20.00 up to $100.00 depending on what design your looking for. I have even heard of guys using them at Hunting Knives, not sure if I would recommend that one, but to each is own.
You will enjoy thie pic from Wikipedia Butterfly Kives and see the construction of the Knife.
I was at the beach one time with some buddies and we saw one of those plans that do the sky writing, and it said Buy Boker Knives with a phone number to follow, I thought that was weird but I had to check it out, and of course I ended up buying one. For those of you who are thinking to buy butterfly knives or wanting to try and use a Butterfly Knife please make sure you use safety first. What I mean by that is you want to have someone who has experience and can show you hands on how to do it properly. I know when I first started using mine I made a lot of mistake and cut my hands a number of times and also droop it on my foot while trying to open it, yea it stab my foot and hurt like hell. I also mention running with it in your pocket because it is considered a Pocket Knives, it will pop open and stab you in the leg and again it hurts like hell. So learn from my mistakes and take some extra time to understand everything to using and having a Butterfly Knife. Start out very slow till you fill comfortable and always think things threw before you start practicing it. O yea another thing don’t have your little sister in the room when your practicing as well just because you want to show off, because when it comes flying out of your hand and almost stabs her, mom is not that forgiving when you stab your sister, just some more food for thought. If you’re going to Buy Butterfly Knives for someone who is just getting started then you want to defiantly head down to the swap meet. When I went to buy my first butterfly knife I saw this sign that said Buy Butterfly Knives so I thought I will check that out, well make sure your up to speed on a good Knife from a bad one because there are people out there that will try to scam you
