Butterfly knives are banned in Australia due to their classification as a prohibited weapon. Therefore, it is illegal to buy or own a butterfly knife styled pen in Australia.

The Butterfly knife was invented in England by a man named William Morton. He studied knives and decided to design his own when he found there was no knife that efficiently completed the use he wanted.

I do not live in MA but since its only a trainer I'm almost sure its legal. They sell them on eBay so i doubt you will get in trouble for having one .

no :)

$10 to over $100. A halfway decent one should run about $30 or $40. A crap one will be $10.

you have to draw it and cut it out

Yes; they are illegal. Possession, manufacture or sale of spring knives (a butterfly knife is a spring knife under Washington state RCW 9.41.250 (2012) and would include practice butterfly knives) is a gross misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for up to 364 days or a fine of up to $5,000 or both.

Butterfly knives are illegal only if you are carrying them with intent to harm. It is legal for you to own them and keep them at home--for collection. You can also get a trainer, this is legal to carry.

you cant but try hennie haynes for the pen

If you just spray bombed it, you'd get paint into the pins and it would render the knife inoperable. If you disassembled it, sprayed the handles, and removed any paint from the holes for the pins, then you could still have a functioning knife.

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.

It depends on the knife you buy. Some brands have terrible cheap knives, but the more expensive ones are amazing. It depends on the price range and what you are looking for (action, style, blade, ect.)

Also called the "balisong" or "gravity knife", YES, the knife is considered a deadly weapon and is prohibited from most states when carried concealed.

Not 100% sure, but I've seen multiple places online say it is LEGAL as long as the blade doesnt exceed 4 inches.
