When you open or close the butterfly knife, it creates the illusion of a butterfly’s wings flapping around. The unique design makes the opening and closing of the knife very swift and easy, which basically means you can do so with one hand. Now it’s time we take a loot at some easy butterfly knife tricks for beginners.
Step #1: First of all, being familiar with the butterfly knife is very important, and you will have to buy steel-toed boots as well. The boots are to protect your feet while you’re practicing the butterfly knife tricks and drop it at times. Also, cover the sharp edge of the knife with an electric tape. This way, if you happen to grab the blade by mistake, you won’t injure yourself.
Step #2: Locate the knife’s safe handle. You will see that it doesn’t have a latch underneath it, so you might have to keep holding the safe handle as you open it with your little finger. This will make the blade and latch hang freely. The blade should be in your palm (right or left hand), while your thumb and index finger will be on the safe handle.

Again fling your wrist towards you (opposite of what you did before). This will open the knife completely.
Step #4: Opening the knife has to be in one swift movement. This is part of the butterfly knife tricks. Now let’s take a look at the continuation of this trick.

It may take you some time to become confident with flinging the knife swiftly.
Step #5: The idea of flinging the knife upward is to get it positioned straight up (vertically). The blade will pass the horizontal level; and this is where you give another fling.
Step #6: Fling your hand again and pass the handle through the vertical level. This will make the handle fall back in its original place (in your fingers). There you have it, you have successfully finished learning two-part butterfly knife tricks. Read entire article.
