cut your throat with it and get back to me thanx

I do. Never got into butterflies, though... probably 'cause I never got a feel for them and how to use them smoothly.

I personally love Buck Crosslocks. Their new semi-automatics are bulky but nice.

my friend has an automatic/switchblade.

supposedly military people can legally purchase them? the thing is brand new and engraved...so, it definitely isn't some backdoor thing.

nope, have none, but i've always liked balisongs.

i'm not qualified to make recommendations, but my impression is that benchmade makes good products which are also affordable. i think spyderco might be in the same category.

I don't even know where the legal line is drawn between semi-automatics and automatic knives these days. Push-button, hand-free opening, but they're both considered different? Eh, whatever, lol. As long as I get it legally from a store, I don't care.

I used to have 2 very similar ones to that one. The blade was more narrow though. I used to love butterfly knives. I would flip them around when bored. I got pretty fancy at it. Haven't touched one in probably 10 years now, however.

btw, this cost ~165. i placed the order in november, but they didn't have it. i forgot all about the order until a few days ago, when i got an email. i called them, they said they had 'em back, and i said, "oh...ok...sure. send it."

price can vary a lot. you can get cheaper ones for 50 bucks, even less. or you can spend several hundred and up for higher-quality production models and individual pieces made by custom knife makers.

take a look at this limited edition BM 46DM. it's beautiful, but even though i could pull the trigger on it right now, i cannot bring myself to pay 2000 dollars on this piece.
