The Butterfly-GM is a compact crossbar lock folder that punches well above its price in fit, finish, and action. The reviewer summary is direct: fit and finish much better than expected, perfect weight and size, one of the smoothest actions they own. That last point matters — smooth action on a crossbar lock at this price point is not guaranteed, and the Butterfly-GM delivers it consistently.
The clip point blade geometry gives the Butterfly its character. Where drop point prioritizes versatility and sheepsfoot prioritizes safety, clip point prioritizes precision — a swept spine that creates a fine, controllable tip suited to detail work and piercing tasks. At 2.99'' it stays compact and legal in most carry contexts while delivering genuine cutting utility. Stonewash finish handles daily wear without complaint.
Green micarta scales develop their own surface patina with carry — warm to the touch, grippy in any condition, increasingly personal over time. At 2.38 oz and 3.77'' closed the Butterfly-GM is light and compact enough to forget it's there, well-built enough to notice when you actually use it.
Crossbar lock, ceramic ball bearing pivot throughout. A great little EDC — as the reviewer put it — that earns that description honestly.
