Stylish Butterfly Knives
Posted on January 5th, 2010 No commentsCool butterfly knives are generally made by skilled knife makers. They take the time to make every component by hand. There not mass produced in a warehouse by an assembly line of workers. The big name knife makers out there like Buck and Spiderco have to operate like this to keep up with the demand. To get a quality cool butterfly knife you need to find a knife maker to do it by hand.
I started collecting knives when I was a teenager, and like most collectors you’re given a knife as a gift, and you find you like it, and start to look out for more. When I received my first butterfly knife it was from a swap meet, and I thought it was a really stylish butterfly knife. It was a couple years later when I started buying my own, and really looking at them I saw the difference. There’s nothing wrong with the cheap knives but if you’re going to be a collector then you need to look into buying the custom handmade knives.
There are very expensive butterfly knives out there if you have that kind of money, and I mean any were from $2500, to $5000.00 and up. The most expensive butterfly knife I ever bought was $750.00 and let me tell you, that was a real stretch for me to spend that kind of money on a knife. What pushed me to go ahead and buy it was the fact that I know the knife maker myself, and I know the quality and personal touches he puts on each ones he builds. I also know that he is really starting to get recognized in the knife market as an expert, and his orders are really starting to build up. So if anything in time I know I made a good investment.
You can find butterfly knives online where you will be able to view a ton of different styles as well as color and sizes. If you are into doing tricks, you can also look for videos that can teach you to do all kinds of cool and neat tricks with these knives. Not all butterfly knives are super expensive of course. Some can be bought for under $20. If you are starting out and don’t have a lot of money, just stick with what you can afford and gradually go up from there to build up your collection.
