Butterfly Knife

Custom butterfly knife Created in Solidworks I brought a BaliYo butterfly pen to school a day previous to this upload and, caught a few eyes lol. A friend noticed it and said I should make and animate some butterfly knife action so I made this knife and intended on animating it but it seemed extremely time consuming in Solidworks and adding to that I've never actually animated in Solidworks anyway so that didn't add any encouragement. Any way, If anyone would like to give a shot at animating it, feel free. I wanted to implement a simple opening and afterwords a helix ( "helix" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52zB_7cuTOQ ). Please post or sent me a video if you accomplish it, Would love to see! Note: You can use this model wherever you want but I'll kindly ask you to put a credit to me as the model author and a link to GrabCad original, thanks.
