I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with butterfly knife and if you could please tell me how it opens and how similar to a butterfly knife it is? Or anything about it actually, because I am at a loss.


Thank you.
 
I didn't see anything called a hijack at your link. What I saw was an mtech twist. That's a butterfly knife aka a gravity knife in California. They are OK for a flipper but you have to locktite the screws or they'll come out and ypu'll lose them.

Are you sure it is considered a gravity knife because sometimes a latch (which the twist has) keeps a knife from being considered a gravity knife because it requires unlocking to be opened? Here in Ohio that's the general idea.

Most balisongs have latches and they're all illegal in CA as far as I know.
 
To answer the original poster's question: Yes it is a butterfly knife. Has a 4"ish blade that is made of 440C, and great handles. Hex screws are nice too, though they strip easily. Great knife, flips really well, though I can't say that I trust your link especially because the Twists were discontinued a year ago.
 
Just for the record:
1. Balisongs are fully legal in California if the blade is under 2 inches.
2. If the blade is larger, it is illegal to carry on your person or in the passenger compartment of a vehicle in a public place.
3. It's also illegal to give away, sell, etc an auto.
4. Nowhere does it say that it is illegal to possess a balisong

Butterfly knives tend to be either cheap Chinese ones that will fall apart, or high-priced niche market knives. There is, however, the Bradley Kimura series, which is a solid reliable knife that doesn't cost too much. I'd recommend you get that if you're interested in butterfly knives. As for how these open, you're just limited by your imagination. There's an art to finding many interesting ways to open and close butterfly knives using inertia and wrist manipulation. Take a look around youtube if you want to get an idea.
