I have this bad boy.  I want to get a butterfly knife at some point just cause its cool to open.  And lol at guys who see their knife as like a sense of masculinity.

But seriously I've used my knife for a whole bunch of shit mostly opening boxes and fixing stuff but really I could just use scissors for most shit but its cool to have a knife.

I can't remember the last time I brought it out with me, I don't hike or do any of that outdoor shit, and I would never take it out if I'm going to be drinking.

It's a knockoff.

Why not make this a knife thread? I carry this:

I used be really into flipping balisong but stopped carrying one a few years ago.  Used to have a cheap all black kriss style balisong, then I got a straight bladed one with fake ivory/pearly like handles that flipped much smoother.  I can do a bunch of basic opens, y2k, finger rolls, behind the 8ball, helix and variations of those tricks along w/ unnamed things while freestyling...  Cut my self very very bad a few times learning to helix.
Never have bothered learning aerials seems super sketchy.

These videos are the best ime (one video is lefty and I'm lefty though) for learning helix which is a fucking baller trick IMO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n49TRLps1Zg

incubis has good balisong youtube videos.

I don't have a real balisong anymore but recently I got a balisong-bottle opener to fuck around with - it's cheap and reminds of the way my first knife flipped (not very good quality) but it's fun to play around with and my tricks I learned in the past came back pretty fast.  Kind of want to get a nice Benchmade in the future - would be nice to own a quality balisong.

^^^^ and mine is more of a knockoff of this, but this thing is amazing. I think I want to order it to keep in the car. I've seen mythbusters, and a window breaker is a must have!

Please note the gangster like facial expression and black drug coated tip, It makes the knife more legit.
