No! They are not. They are classed as an offensive weapon (a flick knife specifically) under the Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act 1959.
Under this act, it is illegal to import, sell or carry a flick knife or a knife that has a blade, hidden within the handle, released either by gravity or mechanical operation (ie: a butterfly, or a Balisong knife.)
Therefore, butterfly knifes are not legal in the UK.
