Working Butterfly Knife

Assemble this Balisong-style Butterfly Knife correctly and it will work like a charm! To do this, follow these steps carefully. First, print the model as large as you can so it fits comfortably in your hand. This is crucial to making sure everything lines up properly. Next, take a knife and use it to expand the holes so the tubes can slide into place. Make sure not to overtighten or scratch the tubes as this can cause damage down the line. Before final assembly, loosen all the holes on the blade itself so the knife will flip around smoothly. You want to make sure nothing gets caught or stuck during use. To hold everything in place, I recommend using a hot glue gun on the exterior of the knife. Just be careful not to get any glue on moving parts! Finally, give your finished product a nice sanding to smooth out any rough edges or burrs.
