Anyone know where I can legally buy a butterfly knife in the US? Preferably online

 

I know this is a really odd question but I'm in need of a pocketknife for general use, like unboxings, and stuff of that nature and am really good with a butterfly knife, have always loved them and thought they were awesome.

In some U.S. states it is illegal to possess or carry such a knife in public. In certain jurisdictions, balisongs are categorized as a "gravity knife", "switchblade", or "dagger". Spyderco admitted that from June 2005 through January 2007, it had mailed balisongs, after importing the knife components from Taipei, Taiwan, through the Port of San Francisco and the Port of Oakland, to Golden, Colorado.

·         The knife is illegal to carry and own in California, but some are legal to own if kept at home.

·         In Florida, it is legal to open and conceal carry a balisong that is 4 inches or under.

·         In Hawaii, it is illegal to possess, manufacture, sell, transfer, or transport any balisong/Butterfly-type knife.

·         There were once legal restrictions on butterfly knives in Kansas., however as of July 2013, the Kansas Comprehensive Knife Rights Act decriminalized the carrying of all types of bladed weapons.

·         In Kentucky, the balisong is legal for concealed and open carrying anywhere one is not otherwise prohibited from carrying a concealed deadly weapon. Kentucky's constitution and revised statutes prohibit cities and counties from enacting weapons laws and restrictions.

·         In Michigan, the balisong is legal because it is classified as a "folding knife"

·         In New Jersey the criminal law, NJSA 2C:39-1, suggest balisongs are illegal but the question of legality or illegality is an open question.

·         In New York, the balisong has been determined not to be a gravity knife, allowing legal ownership. Nothing more is said in the New York State Code of Law, technically leaving individual circumstances open to interpretation.

·         In Ohio, it is legal to own a balisong and carry it openly, however they are illegal to carry concealed, as they are considered to be deadly weapons.

·         In Oregon, it is illegal to carry a concealed balisong.

·         In Texas, As of September 1, 2013 Switchblades are now legal in Texas.

·         In Utah, balisongs are legal as long as they are not concealed.

·         In Virginia, the balisong is legal for conceal and open carrying according to state law, although localities can have additional knife laws and restrictions.

From Wikipedia. If you don't live in any of these states then you're probably fine with ordering one from ebay

Butterfly knives are banned in the US and Canada, also knives that open on their own such as switch blades too so yeah...

 

But good knives in general for unboxings I personally like Leatherman for their versatility since it's a multitool, but one of the best brands in general is Spyderco.

In some states, including Michigan it is legal, I'm moving to Michigan really soon, currently live on the Indiana side of the border
