Have you tried it? It looks interesting but in BF, at least, they have a reputation of being a bit "eccentric"...

My first impression from the pictures: Cool idea, questionable utility, horrible blade shape.

I thought that was the case with anything sharper than a spatula on your side of the North Sea anyway?  Folding spatulas are probably OK?

 

(Yes, the knife law in Norway is in some ways even worse.)

I know bottle openers on pointy things aren't exactly anything new, but one on a butterfly knife?  That might be pushing it.

Why not just make the back a carabiner that also works as a bottle opener?

I recently found out about this knife. They say it is 50 state legal. Anyone have one. I am kind of interested in it.

Balisong knives are illegal to own in Hawaii; illegal to carry in California. Other jurisdictions questionable.

Not true. In California you can own and carry a butterfly knife or switch blade with a blade length of under 2".

no worries. Just figured I would let you know. I like to be very well versed on California knife laws.

The handles aren't free swinging on this knife.  No one handed flipping, need two to open.

Mantis quality went down hill rapidly past few years.
