If anybody is into butterfly knives ya gotta go for the best, cheapo's will only grant the easy moves. So in the short run if you want to do the simple, buy a cheap one and "locktite" the screws to prevent it from falling apart because it will guaranteed. It's all about Benchmade, Bear and Son, Spyderco, and Bradley. And then of course the custom ones which are expensive and the uncommon but good ones like Microtech.
