BONUS STUFF
Are you actually interested in real life Balisong/Butterfly knives? Check out Will Hirsch's Youtube channel. This channel was a big help in creating this asset and he also supplied me with real sounds from one of his own knives for me to use in this asset. I am not sponsored in any way by the channel, but I do wanna share a link either way.

PLEASE USE KNIVES RESPONSIBLY, A KNIFE WITH A SHARP BLADE IS NOT A TOY AND YOU SHOULD ONLY USE A REAL KNIFE IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
