In Connecticut, it is illegal to carry a butterfly knife in public. The state law classifies butterfly knives as "dangerous weapons," making their possession unlawful without a specific permit. However, individuals may own them at home or for collection purposes, provided they do not carry them in public spaces. Always check local regulations, as laws can vary by municipality.

Are butterfly knives illegal in new york state?
no they're not They Are ILLEGAL in New York State. They are classified as a gravity knife which includes centrifugal force to open it. nys penal law 265.00 sub 5. 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."

Are Butterfly knives legal in CT?
No current law regulates whether or not you can possess them, so it is entirely legal to keep one in your home.As for whether it is legal to carry them, Sect. 53-206 of the Connecticut Code currently states:"Sec. 53-206. Carrying of dangerous weapons prohibited.(a) Any person who carries upon his or her person any BB. gun, blackjack, metal or brass knuckles, or any dirk knife, or any switch knife, or any knife having an automatic spring release device by which a blade is released from the handle, having a blade of over one and one-half inches in length, or stiletto, or any knife the edged portion of the blade of which is four inches or more in length, any police baton or nightstick, or any martial arts weapon or electronic defense weapon, as defined in section 53a-3, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than three years or both."Unless it is considered a "switch knife" (switchblade) or a "dirk knife" (double-edged blade), it seems that a butterfly knife is, contrary to popular belief, legal to carry, so long as the blade is less than four inches long.
