This is why it is better to not carry a butterfly knife with you at all as it can easily be seen as being a weapon or planned to be used as a weapon. In fact, the only reason that may hold up in court is if you were carrying the knife directly to or from your martial arts class. Of course, this knife would have to be in your kit bag and carefully protected but it may be seen as a viable reason with no malicious intent. Most butterfly knives have either tanto, drop point, clip point, or a spear point blade, which are all sharp.

The minute that you voice your intent to use the knife as a weapon, it is seen as an offensive weapon. This not only goes for butterfly knives but other, domestic types of knives too.

🍪 Privacy & Transparency

Many knife manufacturers have batangas models, but you can’t go wrong if you choose to buy one from any of these brands. For a novice flipper spending a lot on your first balisong is not recommended. You might not enjoy flipping, and you’ll have spent a lot of money on a knife you’ll have no use for after some time. So buy a budget butterfly knife first, then trade up as you get better at flipping. In my opinion, if you’re an experienced flipper, you should get yourself a high-quality batangas , which makes the flipping experience more smooth.
