Kris Blades on butterfly

[creekwalker]

I'm new to butterfly knives and am going to buy one. I want a kris blade but I don't know if they are double-edge blades or not, and I am not going to start with a double-edged knife. Any help as to if it is double-edged or not would be helpful.

Welcome to the forums! A true kris would be sharp on both edges and, if you've never 'flipped' before, I'd discourage you from getting a double-edged knife as your first one! The worst wound I ever received flipping was from a double-edged 6" bladed bali I had Ralph Turnbull make me..........a couple too many beers and some impromptu flipping and there went the back of my hand...

.....What can I say???

You can find cheapies with a flamed blade (it's not a Kris but it looks like one), sharpened on only 1 edge. I have one... it's not great quality but for a start, you can have fun with it. And it's cheap.
Mine... I found it in the Chinatown of Chicago.

you can have a lot of fun with other blade types, especially if you are starting out. kris blades are made to cause extra damage anyway.

Mo. Guillaume is correct.. although true kris blades are double edged you can get chine cheapy ones shaped liek them but are only sharpened on one side.. you get safety and cool factor in one
