A butterfly knife, also known as a balisong knife, is a folding pocket knife with two handles that rotate around the blade. The distinctive feature of a butterfly knife is its "butterfly" or "fan" opening mechanism, which allows the knife to be rapidly deployed with a flick of the wrist. The handles of a butterfly knife are connected by a pivot pin, which enables them to swing freely and lock into place when the knife is open or closed. Butterfly knives typically have a single-edged blade that folds into the handles when not in use. The blade can vary in length and shape, with common blade styles including tanto, clip point, and spear point. The handles of a butterfly knife are often designed with textured grips or patterns to provide a secure hold during use. Butterfly knives are popular among knife enthusiasts, collectors, and enthusiasts of flipping and manipulation. They are prized for their unique opening mechanism, compact size, and sleek design. However, butterfly knives can be illegal or restricted in some jurisdictions due to safety concerns and their association with potential misuse or harm. In addition to their use as everyday carry (EDC) knives, butterfly knives are also used in martial arts and as performance props in various forms of entertainment, including movies, television, and video games. The art of flipping and manipulating butterfly knives, known as "balisong flipping," has its own dedicated community of enthusiasts who practice and compete in skill-based events and competitions.
