Quality Butterfly Knives That Flip
The butterfly knife was created in the Philippines. Martial artists used the weapon to defend themselves and to display their art form.
A regular folding knife has a blade that folds into a groove in the handle, but a butterfly knife, commonly called a balisong in the Philippines, has two handles that fold and wrap around the blade.
When opening quality butterfly knives properly, called “flipping”, it can look like a blur of spinning knives.
Consult the Camper’s Checklist
Even the most rugged, individualistic camper should be prepared for anything when venturing out into the great outdoors. Mother Nature is a fickle, unpredictable mistress – which admittedly adds to the excitement of camping and hiking. Still, if you find yourself lost in the wilderness with nothing more than your wits and instincts, you won’t last long. Before your next trip, make a list of indispensable items.
First of all, you’ll need to ensure shelter and warmth during cold-weather outings. Hiking tents are lightweight and easy to set up and disassemble. Pack a temperature-rated sleeping bag with high-loft goose down or a suitable synthetic substitute. Beyond that, you’ll want a folding knife for hunting, cutting twine and other purposes. Bring enough provisions to last the duration of your trip, but bear in mind that anything extra will only weigh you down.
