Folding Dual
Is a butterfly knife a regular folding knife or a gravity knife?
For years I have been owning butterfly knives also known as Balisong knives.I understand that there are restrictions on these particular knives in different jurisdictions;what makes a dual handle folding knife any more lethal than a regular folding knife, this type of edged instrument doesnot constitute a "gravity knife" by whatever means I can see, does anyone have any input on this issue?
There are many places that they are illegal. In some places just owning them can get you in trouble and in others carrying them. It is sad that people who have no real idea about knives and their uses make the laws based on irrational fears and bad information. The American Knife and Tool Institute is always fighting for our rights to use and carry our tools and knives. If you get a chance check them out. Different places classify knives differently and it makes it very hard to follow the law at times. It would be a good idea to check your state and local laws to make sure you are not in violation. Sometimes the definitions used to describe knives are so far off it is scary. A Butterfly or Balisong as it should be referred to is a kinetic opening knife and requires a distinct and precise series of movements to open. It is not a gravity knife in truth but many jurisdictions refer to them as such other jurisdictions have a category just for them.. Any knife can be opened one handed for the most part with just a little practice and being able to open a knife one handed is sometimes a very useful if not lifesaving ability. Spyderco Knives can be opened with one hand due to their Spyder-hole in the blade(pat.) This in no way makes the knife any more or less dangerous but it sure does make it a lot easier to use when your hands are full. If the laws in your area are poor may I suggest trying to change them with education and honesty. The funny thing is most people do not even understand the use of a balisong and if they did they would understand that they actually have many non-lethal movements in self-defense. The AKTI has a web sight and is always happy to help educate and legislate to make the knife laws sane and safe for all of us. I hope this helps and if I can be of any further help please let me know. Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to all.
