In Georgia, double action out-the-front (OTF) knives are generally considered legal to own and carry. However, it is crucial to be aware of local laws and regulations, as they can vary by city or county. Always ensure compliance with any specific restrictions related to knife carry in public spaces. For the most accurate and current legal advice, consulting a legal expert is recommended.
Each state varies in this law, but they are illegal in Georgia (except for law enforcement).
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.
It depends on what state you live in, but ballistic knives are illegal in all of the US.
