Not illegal to buy, sell, posses, or flip in private, but I never take mine out in public. Title 21, section 1272 is a bit fuzzy on the subject. I suppose it would depend on the prosecutor, judge, etc. to determine if it qualified as a "switchblade." We all know it isn't, but authorities and people in general take the Hollywood idea for this kind of knife.
Basically, just don't carry it in public. Fine to own and learn to flip.
