== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Battle Royale (Literature)|Battle Royale]]'': At the beginning of the movie, Nobu stabs Kitano with a butterfly knife. The attack triggers Kitano's resignation and later selection as the class's Program Director. When Nobu drops the bloody knife while fleeing, Noriko grabs and hides it. {{spoiler|At the end of the movie, Noriko retrieves the knife from her desk before going on the run with Shuya.}}
* ''[[Casino Royale (Film)|Casino Royale]]'': Le Chiffre's bald mook uses a spearpoint butterfly knife to cut out Bond's tracker and to remove the chair's seat in preparation for the [[Groin Attack|rope torture]]. It resembles a paratrooper knife in the first scene, but he flips it before and after the chair.
* ''[[Face Off]]'': After asking her "Do you have protection?" Castor Troy (disguised as Sean Archer) gives Archer's daughter a kris-bladed knife. {{spoiler|It's ultimately used on him when she ''finally'' figures out which one is which}}.
* In ''[[Falling Down]]'', the main character [[Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness|upgrades]] his [[Batter Up|baseball bat]] in his first encounter with the gang members. The gang member flips it open in a threatening display, but can't complete the simple opening smoothly.
* ''[[Kick-Ass (Filmfilm)|Kick-Ass]]'': Hitgirl got two for her birthday.
* ''[[Killer Elite]]''
* In ''[[Lethal Weapon 4]]'', one of [[Jet Li|Wah Sing Ku]]'s [[Mook|mooks]] wields a butterfly knife. Oddly, [[Jeff Imada]] plays the other mook.
* ''[[The Mummy Trilogy (Film)|The Mummy Trilogy]]''
* ''[[The Outsiders]]''
* In ''[[Payback]]'', the Chow's Bodyguard, played by Jeff Imada, flips a butterfly knife and prepares to [[Groin Attack|cut]] Porter before being interrupted by the [[Dirty Cop|corrupt cops]].
* ''[[Torque]]''
* Buckingham is playing with one when he is talking to captured D'Artagnan in ''[[The Three Musketeers (2011 (Filmfilm)|The Three Musketeers 2011]]''.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In the ''[[Law and& Order (TV)|Law and Order]]'' episode "Knock Off", Dianne Cary (guest [[Katee Sackhoff]]) has a butterfly knife sitting on a shelf open, next to a pair of [[Fighting Withwith Chucks|nunchaku]]. She became obsessed with martial arts and self-defense after being raped.
* In the ''[[Nikita (TV series)|Nikita]]'' episode "Pale Fire", a Gogol mook flips a butterfly knife open and slashes Alex, but she traps it and [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|kills him with it]].
** This may become a [[Once a Season]] thing, since Jaden tried to kill Alex with one near the end of season one.
* In the ''[[White Collar]]'' third mid-season finale "Countdown", Keller snacks on a mango while threatening Mozzie, cutting pieces off with a butterfly knife. It is locked open and not flipped, which would be difficult to do while coated in juice.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Blaz Blue]]'': Hazama's iconic weapon.
* In ''[[Starcraft II (Video Game)|Starcraft II]]'', Gabriel Tosh flips a butterfly knife during some of his conversations. Since it is computer generated, his manipulations are fast and crisp. {{spoiler|If the player picks Nova's mission, she will flip the knife after assassinating him.}}
* ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'''s Spy uses one for his main form of attack, a one-hit-KO backstab.
* [[Knife Nut|Kano]] uses them as his weapon style in [[Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance]] and [[Mortal Kombat Armageddon]].
