No one here is going to research the laws of all 50 states to satisfy your curiosity. Incidentally, most state laws do not describe them as "butterfly" knives. They are usually covered under the classification of "gravity knives" and occasionally referred to as Balisongs.
Yes, in some states like ND, they are. re; answer in some states the butter fly knife is illegal like in CA because they represent violince
The question does not state what "area" is being referred to, However (in the US) most (all?) states ban this type of weapon and it is known by various descriptions (e.g.: gravity knife, balisong, etc).
Despite the fact that California has extremely strict weapon laws (just like New York) you can own just about any sword legally. The only exception are sword canes. They are illegal in several US States.
They are legal in some states.

Automatic sliding 'stiletto' or switchblade knives are illegal in most US states, as are double bladed knives (daggers). Pennsylvania is one state where this is the case. **stiletto originally referred to a thin double bladed knife, often used by assassins. The blade was thin enough to slip between pieces of armor or mail.
