A magnetically latching butterfly knife 10 having a magnetic latch 20 coupled thereto. The magnetic latch 20 is coupled to the magnetically latching butterfly knife 10. The magnetic latch 20 is coupled to at least one of the handle components 14 and/or 15. The magnetic latch 20 has at least one magnetic component 19 and at least one magnetic attracting surface 10A (i.e. magnet or metal surface) that are able to couple to at least one of the handle components 14 and 15. At least one magnetic component 19 and at least one magnetic attracting surface 10A magnetically attract and couple to each other to be able to provide open and closed latching operations for the butterfly knife 10. The magnetic latch 20 secures the first handle component 14 and the second handle component 15 in an open latched position and also in a closed latched position. The magnetic latch 20 may be configured and coupled to the butterfly knife 10 in many ways in order to provide the open latched and closed latched positions. Magnetic latches 20A, 20B, and 20C provide examples of such configurations. The magnetic latch 20 may include magnet(s) or magnetic component(s), magnetic attracting surface(s) (i.e. metal surface(s), etc.), and/or any combination thereof. A releasing component 50 or 60 is coupled to the butterfly knife 10 to allow the user to more easily move the knife 10 between the open latched and closed latched positions.
