In North Dakota, butterfly knives, also known as balisongs, are not explicitly illegal. However, state laws regarding weapons can be complex, and there may be restrictions on carrying them in certain contexts, such as schools or public places. It’s always advisable to check local laws and regulations or consult legal authorities for the most current information.

No, butterfly aka balisong knives are not illegal in the state/commonwealth of Virginia. Reason being they are not similar to other knives that are prohibited i.e. Dirks, Switchblades, Jet blades aka out the front automatics or OTF Autos. Therefore the knife is not illegal to own or carry openly or concealed. However some localities may have an ordinance against them, to know for sure you would need to ask your local state officials.

Correction:

Several court cases have ruled that a buttefly knife does not match the legal definition of a gravity knife, therefore they are legal:

In People v Zuniga, 303 AD2d 773, 759 NYS2d 86 (2d Dept 2003), the Appellate Division held that possessing a "butterfly knife" did not constitute a "gravity knife." The butterfly knife requires manual locking and thus does not come within the definition of "gravity knife."

Similarly, in People v Mott, 137 Misc2d 757, 522 NYS2d 429 (County Ct 1987), the judge inspected the knife and recorded his observations: "Such a knife is a folding knife with a split handle. In the closed position, the knife is covered on each side and at the point by two metal guards attached to the blade's base. To open the knife, the metal guards are folded back until they meet and are clasped and thereby form a handle for the blade." Again, the court held that the butterfly knife did not constitute a "gravity knife."

In People v Dolson, 142 Misc2d 779, 538 NYS2d 393 (County Court 1989), the judge stated: "While this appears to meet the first part of the statutory definition of a gravity knife, an important difference exists here. The blade of the knife recovered from Appellant does not lock into place 'when released' from its cover."
