A Butterfly knife (otherwise known as a balisong) are knives with two handles which counter rotate around the tang, the blade is concealed in the handle. Even a beginning knife flipper can get the blade out from the center in a couple of seconds. You can find a wide variety of butterfly knives across blade stores and a nice selection online.
They come in all sizes and shapes. Beginners usually start with a light and dull blade, if not a training blade. If you aren't experienced its not hard to cut your hand, or get your fingers stuck in between the handles. I never used a training knife, but they either have a completely dull blade, or a tool such as a bottle opener. I find these completely unnecessary, although some people appreciate it.
Butterfly knives are a lot of fun. Once you get the hang of it, you can start with some more advanced tricks. Many tricks have names, some don't have any name at all. Once you get competent with your knife (which usually doesn't take long,) you can start making up your own tricks.
