Bradley Butterfly Knives

[Kramersknife]

So I just got these two in a box lot of knives They are a boxed set for both from Bradley Knives Kimura VII and Kimura II
Not my thing but cant sell on Ebay for some reason.BTW Excellent knives as they are brand new unused.
One question is what type do they fall under Switch Blade,folders, or are they their own animal with their own space?
I know my finger would be gone If I kept them.
Thanks...switchblades are more my type.

I think they are their own category. Butterfly. They don’t seem dangerous to me but I don’t twirl them around like some do.

I believe Bali-song knives fall under the category of "Gravity" knives, along with gravity OTF"s such as Trapdoor models, Tri-Folders, or pretty much anything else that has it's blade deployed strictly by gravity, no springs, half-stops or any other type of assist.
You see the models that have a trainer, comb, or bottle-opener as the blade listed on eBay, and occasionally someone will list the real-deal until eBay pulls the listing.
The OP knives are quality well made knives that have a price that reflects this fact.
I have only 1 inexpensive model in my accumulation, and it's just so I have them represented with my knives. I tried "flipping" with it when I first got it, but immediately cut myself so never again.
I also have a Cold Steel "Paradox" model that is classed as a slip-joint, it looks exactly like a real bali, but it's not because it doesn't flip, 2 hands are required to deploy the blade and it has a half-stop.
To watch a professional "flip" is a real treat, they do things with those knives I could only dream of doing.
