I messaged Victorian customs, and this is the reply I got
In response to you enquiry, TRAINER Balisongs can not be imported into Australia without a permit, irrespective of whether it can be sharpened or not. Australian Customs have seized this type of item on all previous occasions. If you have further questions regarding this please call us on 1300363263.
Good luck with getting one, tell me if you find a way, cos I want one sooooo bad.
Cheers, Fraser.
No it is not legal to carry a butterfly knife or a switchblade in the state of Iowa
No, it is illegal to have a butterfly knife in Louisiana for any reason.
it is legal to carry a knife there but not switchblade or butterfly.
No. They are illegal to possess. A butterfly knife is considered a switchblade under Texas law. A switchblade is a prohibited weapon.
Balisong knives, also called butterfly knives, are legal in Illinois.
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.
A standard pocket knife or folding knife no longer than 4.5 inches in the closed position is legal to carry. I believe daggers, bowie, spring loaded or butterfly knives are not legal to carry.
No, they are considered gravity knifes and considered a felony with up to 5yrs jail time if caught. A 3in spring assisted knife is perfectly legal to carry.
No. It is considered a weapon and if you take it to school you will be in trouble.
sadly no its both illegal to have one and carry one in maine. but if there is a way to get a permit i am not sure
Whether the question is asking about the State of Washington, or Washington, DC - the answer is the same for both. No, they are not legal. They fall under the classification of a 'gravity" or 'butterfly' knife which are unlawful.
Yes it is elegal to carry switch blade butterfly and automatic knives any where in the usa . you could do it any way though but you should get a different knife.
