How To Use A Butterfly Knife

The butterfly knife is a uniquely designed knife. The knife is designed such that it has two parts - a blade and a handle - making it look just like a switchblade knife. The blade tangs are attached to handle by the hinges. When the butterfly knife is closed, the handles fold over the blade and are locked into place with a small latch, which is at the base of one of the handles. Similarly, the handles can be locked with the latch when the blade is opened. This makes the knife almost as strong as a fixed blade.
