Most people can agree that butterfly knives are some of the coolest-looking knives out there. Not only is the design of the knife unique and exciting, but the people using them look bad to the bone. However, before you purchase your next butterfly knife, it’s essential to consider the knife laws where you live, what you’ll be using the knife for, the shape of the handle, and lastly, the handle’s weight. Keep these four things in mind, and you can rest assured knowing you bought the perfect butterfly knife. Let’s get started!
First things first, you don’t want yourself getting into any legal trouble, right? All states vary in their knife laws. It’s important that you research your state’s knife laws before buying one of these knives. A simple “(your state here) butterfly knife laws” Google search should give you all the information you need.
The two most common uses for a butterfly knife are either self-defense or for doing tricks. If using the knife for tricks, it’s common to buy a practice knife that has dull blades. These look and feel the same as a regular butterfly knife but work great for beginners who want to practice tricks without the risk of getting cut. They’re also way cheaper! You can find some practice knives for under $20. Now, if looking to protect yourself, you’ll want to buy a knife made from quality steel and is easy to hold.
That takes us into our next consideration, which is the shape of the handle. Depending on whether you’re doing tricks or using the knife for self-defense, some prefer larger handles or thinner handles. The preference is entirely up to you but is important to consider, especially if doing tricks. Think about it; you wouldn’t want to practice your golf swing with a club that didn’t fit you, right? Get a feel for what you like to ensure the best performance.
And lastly, when thinking about the shape of the handle, you’ll also want to consider the knife’s weight. Some people prefer knives made from lighter materials for easier tricks, and others prefer heavier materials for better self-defense. Again, there’s no right or wrong preference; it’s just important to know what works best for you.
Well, there you have it. Keep this list in mind next time you’re shopping for butterfly knives, and we’re positive you’ll make the right purchase!
