The knife origin is "China"
Made sometime in the last 30 years most likely.
If you have "swap meets" or flea Markets over there, that is a possible place of purchase, or at a mall kiosk selling ninja stars, knock off zippos and t-shirts. These are the places they appear on this side of the pond.

Maybe the killer stole it from a child or mall ninja.

We don't have those here legally, it's against the law to sell balisongs and stilettos, and it's illegal for people under the age of 21 to own them. Doesn't mean that they couldn't have found some seller that wasn't serious though, plenty of those to go around.

Well, that sure helps clear up any confusion on this topic.

That's bad ass! Not to be taken the wrong way, but to own a vintage balisong that was used in a double murder is as bad ass as it gets. I wished I owned a murder knife...talk about a conversation piece eh?
 
The problem is, is that the knife used in the murder is some extremely generic Balisong (a.k.a. Butterfly Knife). It was made in and mass-produced in China, and then exported to the US and sold at flea markets, cheap knife stores, gas stations, novelty stores, on eBay; just anywhere really. That knife looks like it is 10 years old, and it is a copy of the very popular Benchmade Model 42; which was considered to be one of the best production Balisongs made until it was recently discontinued. That knife you've shown is mass-produced Chinese crap.

IT IS NOT BRAND NAME, so it will not be easy to find the manufacturer. If that knife was in 100% condition; it'd be worth $5-$10.

This looks a lot like it:

Follow the green line, the third line from the left, do you mean that the grinds are in line with each other on the 3 upper knives?
They are similar but not identical, and that's what I'm looking for, 100% identical.

He said earlier that he didn't own the knife. It's why he couldn't tell it's weight and how well made it was.

Edit: Also, how is owning a knife that was used to murder an eight year old, "badass"?

Oh yeah? And who exactly would you be having a conversation with that would be interested in hearing about your cheap, knock-off balisong that was used to murder two innocent people? And how is anything about that badass? One of the victims was 8 years old....SO BADASS.

:foot:

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic. At least I hope he was...
 
I was offered a handmade knife once by a pawn dealer at a very attractive price, it seemed to good to be true; a little research found that the local police where looking for a knife that met it's description, and it is was being sought as evidence in a crime.

It might have been a cool knife to have, but I did the right thing by passing the info on to the investigators involved.

IMHO, there is no reason for a knife user/collector to go there.

So if you stop guessing and have good information about an exactly knife that's on the photo, that could help to close the case, I will not forget you, promise.

The point that you are missing, or refusing to accept, is that the knife is a generic copy made in a factory that almost assuredly has no quality control. From the same batch, from the same factory, made on the same day, the grinds might not match. And there may be many other variations as well - simply because of the lack of QC.

So, even if your red line/green line method of matching knives was a viable way of matching (it isn't for reasons others have explained) the result would still be meaningless as the mis-matched knives might still have been made one right after the next. 2 CCCs being exactly the same is an unlikely prospect.

No one is guessing. People are trying to explain the issues that you are dealing with. You really should listen.
 
the handles of these low end balisongs
with the milled skeletonize handles were molded
from a lead based material.
it gives some weight for partial centrifuga manipulation/flipping.
and were given a chromed plated finish.
which in a matter of years,
would flak off.
as to the blade's shape and dimensions,
it is my opinion that it comes from a very particular time period
when the taiwanese were the number one exporters of "unbranded" balisongs.
by blade's peculiar shape,
i meant the belly swell with a near bolo type curvature
for that meant it had to be individually hand grounded.
i would put it something which was taiwanese made from the very late 1980's early to mid 1990's.
because beyond that most balisongs were "stainless china".
and had no belly with near straight cutting edges mostly.
this made for easier sharpening.
 
at first glance I thought this was a advice post for the best murder weapon... that would have been bad

Swap meets or balisongs?

It's not the same knife, trust me, I have google pictures and I have not find it, that's why I went here to see if anybody knows anything about this knife.

Here's an answer you might like. It's a custom knife built my a maker who is a 20 generation bladesmith orc who's dead now. It's made from a meteorite that came from the the planet Song-Bali. It has special powers to make an internet knife noob get OCD about it. The bladesmith made only two and I have the other one. It has deanimated many a mutant ninja and a few dozen score of zombies

Balisongs. Figured it'd show with the part right after that saying "it's against the law to sell balisongs and stilettos", and the part about it being illegal for people under the age of 21 to own them. We've got plenty of swap meets, usually people who think their mass-produced kitchenware will sell for 5 times the value they gave for it once.
 
How about this, If you had the box it came in and did somehow track down the manufacturer you still would be no closer to the murderer because they(the maker) would have no idea where the hell that knife went when it got loaded on the bongo truck with the other 30k knives they made that week.

Bark up another tree, and good luck.
If Sweden is anything like the US he'll be in the DNA data base eventually if he's not already in one from another country.
People that murder 8 year olds usually don't have a lot of impulse control and end up in prison, usually multiple times.
