If possession is legal, but sale is not, it effectively becomes impossible to legally obtain a switchblade from within that state (since federal law prohibits inter-state sale). If possession itself is illegal, then all others become illegal by default. Blanks indicate the state has no laws about either. If “no” they are covered by a separate law and may or may not be legal. If “Yes,” balisongs are subject to all the same restrictions as switchblades listed for that state. Balisong considered same thing? = Refers to if the wording of the law considers switchblades and balisongs to be the same thing. Concealed Carry = legality of carrying a switchblade in a concealed manner on one’s person(or most of the time, in a car). Open Carry = legality of carrying a switchblade unconcealed and in plain view of others. Note that such laws almost always only affect the seller no state law affects the buyer of such a transaction. Usually includes any transfer of ownership, even gifts. Sale = The legality of merchants and private citizens offering switchblades for sale or selling them. Possession = Refers to the legality of merely owning or having direct control over a switchblade, even if kept at home.

This chart covers both overall federal law and each state law. The following is a comprehensive compilation of the laws on switchblades (also called automatics or OTF Knives) in the United States. But some states such as Vermont and Utah have no restrictions on them. ![]() Many have prohibitions on the sale of them, and most have laws against carrying them concealed. The majority of states allow legal ownership of switchblades, but a few do not. ![]() It has no effects on buying, owning or carrying switchblades. Currently, the only country-wide law about switchblades is US Code Title 15, Chapter 29, and this law only controls the importation of these knives into the US, and the sale over state lines. Not true. Most laws about non-firearm weapons are by state, with very few existing at the Federal level. MYTH: Switchblades / OTF Knives and Balisongs (butterfly knives) are illegal everywhere without exception
