Common Questions

Is this suitable for beginners?
This has a live blade, so it requires existing knife safety knowledge. If you’re completely new to butterfly knives, consider starting with a practice trainer that has a dull blade. This knife is better suited for people who already understand basic knife safety and want to develop butterfly knife-specific skills.

How does the latch safety work?
The latch secures one handle to the blade when closed, preventing the knife from opening accidentally. Always engage the latch when storing or carrying. The latch also helps identify the safe handle during manipulation — always start your opening sequence from the handle opposite the latch.

What maintenance does it require?
Clean the pivot points periodically to prevent buildup that can affect smooth operation. A drop of light machine oil on each pivot every few months keeps the action smooth. Wipe the blade clean after use and store in a dry location to prevent corrosion.

Are there legal restrictions on butterfly knives?
Yes, butterfly knives are prohibited in several states and many local jurisdictions. Common restrictions include California, New York, and many cities regardless of state law. Check both your state and local ordinances before purchasing. This is your responsibility as the buyer.
