Is a butterfly knife actually a practical weapon, or does it just look cool?

You can get a practical balisong. I’ve seen some for sale from time to time, though not recently. But, I should probably explain this.

When it comes to knives the word “practical” is actually a loaded term. It refers to a knife that’s designed in such a way that it can actually be used in combat. To a lesser extent this also applies to axes, swords, and most other melee weapons. (This also tends to be a keyword to distinguish combat martial arts from "sport" or "recreational" forms.)

Now, talking about the balisong; it’s a knife, you stab people with them. Or, in my case, you use one as a letter opener. If the blade doesn’t wobble when it’s open, and wasn’t painted by someone with an airbrush, it probably qualifies as a practical knife.

There’s nothing efficient about the way you open a balisong. I’ve never gotten the hang of the really showy opening technique, but I also haven’t found an efficient way to open one.

Beyond that it’s just another knife. There’s nothing especially dangerous about them either. (Well, nothing dangerous about them to someone who isn’t holding it.) The whole deploy display you can do flicking the knife around looks cool, (when done properly) but compared to a box cutter it takes forever, and requires a lot of focus.

Also, you can carve your own knuckles up on them trying to learn, and for once, I’m not speaking from personal experience. You can buy versions with a steel blank instead of a blade if you ever want to learn how to do the deploy trick, though, there isn’t really much point.

Maybe all the legislation against them is justified to keep people from cutting their own hands trying to open or close them. But, there’s nothing about it that makes it a superior, or more dangerous weapon than, say, a cheap folding blade knife you can buy in any gas station.
