Madame Butterfly...Knives



So I have always had my current obsession with balisongs (or butterfly knives) and now I'm finding the burning desire to possess one of my own to be nearly unbearable. But seeing as the closest thing I have to buying the real thing (Thinkgeek's feature Butterfly Knife-style Pen, seen here) is far too expensive than I care to spend at the moment (Nearly $75 CDN at the least) and every website I've found that sells DULL practice balisongs being unable to ship to Canada, I am forced to craft one of my own.

I've been browsing how-to videos and instructions (with a few being really good, like this one). Looks like I'll need various full and half-thread bolts and nuts, not to mention evenly weighted 5 to 6 inch pieces of metal.

We'll see how it goes. If things work out, it'll all be worth it.
