I would sell it personally

also I'm like 99% sure butterfly knives are supposed to be loose, not tight. otherwise they wouldn't be able to flip around and do whatever it is that they do

[Freek]

how much did you spend on it?

[Seath45]

Pretty cheap, 5 bucks, but its pretty sturdy, kinda amazing.

[ShadowsfeaR]

Unscrew, apply type 245 blue loctite on the screw threads, re-screw, let it sit for at least 24 hours. Don't tighten too much, just to the point where it feels secure but the knife and handles have fluid movement.

i hope you expected nothing less

$5 dollar Butterfly knives are a waste of money, anyway does it have any visible screws/alan head screws instead of rivets?

Next time get something like This

Even though they may be more expensive they're better quality but if you want a real balisong that'll last you be prepared for big prices

The knife just needed a bit of wear. its flipping pretty fine now.

Its fun to flip around? Tricks are fun???

So are missing finger parts, if he was just going to flip it he should have just gotten a trainer model

Innovation primarily, Like you said they don't have much purpose and the only real purpose I'd see them as will be for tricks

Yeah, its fun for the first little while. After a while its just "Oh.. I can flip this... Yay"

Valid point, but what if they too have balisongs?

Bring a gun. They won't be able to do anything since it's against the law to bring a knife to a gun fight
