Blunt "trainer" versions of these knives are also available and can be used to practice tricks without the risk of injury. The knife is now illegal or restricted in some countries, often under the same laws and for the same reasons that switchblades or concealed weapons are restricted.
Under Criminal Code 21510 PC, butterfly knives are considered a form of switching blade and are illegal in California.
Owning butterfly knives are legal across most of the U.S., though restrictions vary. In some states, such as Oregon and Utah, it is legal to own these knives, but illegal to conceal them. Several states ban owning these weapons. Butterfly knives are illegal in New Mexico, Washington, California and Hawaii.
Trainer knives are not TSA approved, per TSA regulations (I spoke with TSA agents directly on this exact question).

California knife laws are among the strictest in the U.S., and several cities and counties have even stricter local knife laws you are expected to follow. Many knives such as switchblades meet the statutory definition of “dangerous weapons,” which means possession, manufacturing, and sales are tightly regulated.
A few states, among them Delaware, Hawaii, New Jersey, New Mexico, and New York, prohibit sale, transfer, ownership or possession of automatic knives or switchblades as deadly or prohibited weapons, while others such as New Hampshire and Arizona have no restrictions on sale, ownership, possession, or carry (with some ...
In conclusion, while the legality of 3D printing a plastic butterfly knife without sharp edges and keeping it at home may be subject to jurisdictional variations, it is possible that such a creation falls outside the scope of illegal activities concerning dangerous weapons.
A training butterfly knife, or a butterfly knife trainer, is a knife with two rotating handles that flip and open just like a normal butterfly knife but has an unsharpened blade for safety. This widens the margin of error so that you don't nick your hands (or worse) if you mess up a trick!
However, plastic trainers typically get through security on carry-on luggage due to their low X-ray signature (they are difficult to notice) and the TSA agent's discretion, in which they make the determination that a trainer balisong is a harmless toy and not a weapon.
Each trainer is hand assembled and tested in our California facility to ensure smooth action and minimal handle play. TSA Friendly: The Squiddy-B is easy to travel with. You can fly with it in your carry on baggage and flip it at the airport and while on the airplane.

Bearing-operated balisongs have small ball bearings housed in a circular concavity around the hole in the pivot. These bearings allow the handles of the balisong to rotate.
Beyond its practical applications, balisong flipping has evolved into a modern sport and hobby enjoyed by enthusiasts of all ages.
"Veintinueve” is Spanish for “29”, and could either be a reference to the length of the knife (often 29 cm long in the open position) or to the legend of an ancient Filipino ruler who is said to have killed 29 men with his balisong in battle.
