This is a remix of the very cool functional T-MAX Butterfly Knife by ruimach. I didn't want a sharp version for obvious reason so I've modified it to make it dull and therefore ‘safer’ lol! When learning tricks I did not want to accidentally poke myself unnecessarily. Enjoy learning your tricks!
What you'll need to assemble it:
2 x m3 screws (2 screws that are 3mm in diameter and 10-12mm long. You can get away with a shorter screw if you use a lock nut)
2 x m3 nuts (2 nuts that are for 3mm screws, preferably a lock nut so it doesn't loosen and fall apart after frequent use)
to assemble, screw the blade into the handles keeping in mind the orientation of the blade if you would like it facing a certain way. The holes in the handle are specific to the screw or the nut, you will see the shape accordingly. Do not screw them in too tight or you will not be able to smoothly do your tricks since the blade will get stuck. Adjust the tightness by opening and closing it and seeing what feels right to allow the blade and handles to rotate smoothly enough with the momentum of your swing.

A balisong, also known as a butterfly knife, fan knife or Batangas knife, is a type of folding pocketknife that originated in the Philippines. Its distinct features are two handles counter-rotating around the tang such that, when closed, the blade is concealed within grooves in the handles.
