The New Boulder Butterfly Knife

Disclaimer: all my opinion The blade quality is great but I messed up and didn't read the description right. I meant to get a replacement for my smaller butterfly knife, but was promptly disappointed when I opened up my package and pulled out this slab of granite with a blade attached (totally my fault not on the company). As someone who loves butterfly knives I figured I'd try it out anyway while the one I wanted ships. This knife is very tiring to flip due to its weight. It was like a boulder. I also found that I had to somewhat beat down the sharp edges on the guard and lock lever on a metal table because it would scratch my hand up just reaching in my pocket. Unless you're an Icelandic strongman with hands like Andre the Giant I wouldn't recommend.
Jokes aside I know it's a "large" model but the sharp edges could be finished up a bit so as to not be dangerous and perhaps find a way to make it a tad more lightweight, it would also save money on material in the long run.
