In some states they are. When I was a bad boy a long time ago, you could not hold a butterfly or a switch blade in Tennessee, for example.
I just looked it up, and it is still true today.
I may or may not have purchased some butterfly knives in the US years ago. They are banned completely in Canada, which is stupid, since a full tang double edged fighting knife of equal length, a deadlier knife, is completely legal to own and carry in Canada. Friggin safety sissies here.

Actually, assault knives, such as the switch blade and the butterfly, ARE banned.
Nice try tho.
Butterlys are banned? Didnt know that.
I owned a butterfly and switchblade from my youth before they were banned and the blades are tiny. Measuring 5 inches or under. Hardly deadlier or easier to assuault with than a normal steak knife.
Wasnt a try, it was a pure win in pointing out that a fucking psycho will use anything they can get their hands on when they want to commit murder.

not banned yet
Whoa, SHOULD BE!
Don't you realize somebody could trim that comb down to a point and KILL EVERYBODY IN A THEATER WITH IT?
What are we thinking... to let such disregard for the well-being of all go without regulating ALL COMBS!

I think it is the concealed thingy.
A skilled user of a butterfly can have you gutted before you realize the individual had a blade.
I think that was the concern.

I get your point. If one wants to kill they can kill, and heaven help the victims if they are combat trained.
