Are butterfly knives legal in the uk?
Asked by Wiki User
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.

Are butterfly knives illegal in Canada?
Asked by Wiki User
It depends. Balisong Knives (Commonly known as Butterfly Knives) often fall under the category of "Gravity Knives" which are illegal. (These are knives opened through Gravity). Thus, you may be able to talk your way out of having your Balisong taken or being arrested for it, but in court, it's likely the judge will find it illegal.
The safest way is to get a trainer which is a blunt Balisong with holes drilled so you can't sharpen it. Also, the most popular company for Balisong's is Benchmade who owns the copyright of Butterfly Knives and produces "The Butterfly Knife". You know what I mean if you ever watch videos. Everyone uses a Benchmade.
