Description
Cold Steel's Paradox knife is designed to mimic a traditional balisong or butterfly in every way except that it cannot be opened with one hand. This means that it is not a switchblade, gravity knife, or even an assisted opener knife. It looks like a classic butterfly knife and even feels like one--but it isn't. The Cold Steel Grivory Paradox has twin handles that feature two integral springs similar to a conventional slip joint folder. The handles are designed to rotate 180 degrees around the blade's unique split tang and use strong opposing spring tension to lock the blade open or hold it firmly closed. Don't worry about it taking two hands to get it into action, since once its opened it will never close inadvertently. Plus, its locking mechanism is impervious to the most violent stress and shock imaginable. The Paradox is made to Cold Steel's highest standards. The leaf shaped blade is hollow ground from imported Japanese AUS 8A stainless and has an ultra thin edge that lasts. The handles are skeletonized. Made from Grivory, the handles are durable and strong. The Paradox is a fantastic alternative to a butterfly knife.
