The B02 SmallFly is a compact version of the B01 SpyderFly, a type of folding knife also known as a balisong or butterfly-knife. It is also considered a restricted item in the Spyderco catalog, due to the various laws and regulations associated with owning and carrying balisongs/butterfly-knives.

Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web

B02G2 SmallFly 2

The original SmallFly was a uniquely different "spin" on the balisong, or Filipino butterfly knife. Now this remarkable design is back with an all-new full-flat-ground, drop-point blade profile crafted from CPM S30V. Like the original, it features skeletonized twin handles with full stainless steel liners and peel-ply-textured scales. The Round Holes at the butt end of both handles reflect Spyderco's iconic trademark and help achieve optimal balance for high-speed manipulation. A spring-loaded latch attached to the "free" handle secures the handles together in the closed position, while the removable wire pocket clip may be attached to either side of both handles as both a carry option and tactile index.

RESTRICTED ITEMS

Automatic knives are federally restricted items. Sale of these items is limited to qualified personnel only, as defined in the statutory language of 18 U.S.C. Section 1716(g)(2)(1-4) and 15 U.S.C. Section 1244(2-4). You must also comply with all applicable local and state laws, statutes, and regulations related to the purchase and possession of automatic knives. Purchasing and/or possessing an automatic knife may subject you to criminal liability.

Qualified buyers are required to complete and physically sign an Acknowledgement & Representations Form (available through your Spyderco sales representative or downloadable from our web site at www.spyderco.com/opfocus). There will be absolutely NO SALES of restricted knives without this completed form and all other required documentation.

RESTRICTED ITEM WARRANTY & REPAIR GUIDELINES: Should any RESTRICTED ITEM need to be returned to Spyderco for warranty and/or repair reasons, the item MUST be accompanied by a RESTRICTED ITEM RETURN FORM. The form must be completed and signed attesting to the fact that the person in possession of the knife is legally permitted to possess said item before any warranty work can be performed. If you are unable to provide the proper signed documentation, the knife will NOT be returned. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy.""[1]
