Butterfly Knife For Practice
Product selection: Between the two, the standard Butterfly Knife with Latch Safety (23847) is the closer fit for practice use — it’s the simpler, more affordable balisong without the added bulk of a knuckle guard, making it the natural choice for someone learning flips and drills. The latch safety feature is also directly relevant to practice/training use since it helps prevent accidental closure during flipping practice.
