Balisongs aka butterfly knives are no longer banned in CT. When the weapons statutes (CGS 53-206 and 29-38) were re-written several years ago they removed butterfly knives from the list of prohibited "weapons". Therefore, unless you knife is double edged or has a blade with an "edged portion of the blade of which is four inches or over in length" (and you do not have a hunting or fishing license) the knife is legal to carry in CT. It can be carried concealed, and you are probably better off doing so, so that no busybodies freak out.

Also, you can have any edged weapon (swords, switchblades, etc.) you want in your home or in a business that you own. The only problem might be legally transporting them to one of those places in the first place.

Here are the links to the statues in question;

CGS 53-206 Carrying of dangerous weapons prohibited

CGS 29-38 Weapons in Vehicles

PS: If you check some of my previous posts you may find the answers you need to other questions about CT weapons laws.
