Washington law prohibits the possession of a "dagger, dirk, or dangerous knife." Dangerous knives are further defined to include switchblades and gravity knives (butterfly knives), but there is no specific definition of dirks and daggers. Most dictionary definitions describe daggers and dirks as long, thin knives designed for stabbing, but some mention double edges.
Your safest policy is to refrain from carrying knives with double edges. If you want or need to carry a knife, carry a conventional one with only a single sharp edge.
The legality of a double-edged knife depends on the specific laws of the area where you are located. In some places, double-edged knives are considered illegal because they are classified as daggers or dangerous weapons. It is important to check your local laws and regulations regarding the possession and carrying of double-edged knives.
Applicable law (SEE BELOW LINK) does not refer to "butterfly" knives" specifically by that name, HOWEVER - the description of the prohibited knives describes ALL knives having a double-edged blade.In my experience all knives described as "butterfly," "balisong," "gravity knife," etc. (where the blade is concealed inside a hinged/folding handle and can be deployed with a flick of the wrist), HAVE DOUBLE EDGED BLADES. Therefore they ARE illegal.
In most places, double-edged knives are legal to own and carry. However, there may be restrictions on the length of the blade or where you can carry them. It is important to check the laws and regulations in your specific area.
If they are double edged then they are.
hey man i live in the same state and i throw as well. I believe its illegal to carry not to own. So you can't conceal on your persons. But word of caution i had a nice set in my back seat, cops searched my car and took them i got no fine or anything went to the station to get them back they were never turned in so be on the lookout for shady cops.
