Tell HN: Thanks to YouTube, my 12 year old asked for a knife for his birthday

YouTube is full of videos of people doing tricks with Balisong butterfly knives, presenting them as cool and fun.

In fact Balisong knives are deadly weapons and illegal in many places if the world.

Search YouTube for butterfly knife tricks or Balisong and you’ll see videos with millions of views.

So when I asked my 12 year old what he wants for his birthday he said “a Balisong”.
