Modify Balisong to be legal in California?

LOL, all those years of watching Kung Fu theatre will pay off. Time to go practice throwing balisongs. ..music in background....' kung fu fightin'...
 
Why only carry 4? 8 seems better, or maybe 16, they are pretty small. This way if you miss with the first few throws, or just piss off the robbers by sticking them with a small blade in a non-lethal location of their body, you can throw some more at them, but that might just piss them off even more. Come to think of it, if I had a gun and some guy was throwing knives at me from one side of a bank to the other, some of those banks have big lobbies you know, I would probably dodge the knife and then shoot back at the idiot with my gun. Chances are the guy throwing knives would have a harder time dodging and blocking bullets than the gun man dodging and blocking knives. I doubt you can throw a knife faster than a major league pitcher (90-100mph) and I've seen baseball players dodge fast balls. A knife coming 30-60mph shouldn't be to hard to avoid. A bullet at 1000-2000fps is another story, not to mention potentially 4 gun men firing bullets from 4 directions at you all at once if you go with your scenerio.
 
The real art of the Balisong is silence never let them see the blade. You move with your hand and body and the knife follows.

A serious answer to your question. Replacing the blade with a sawblade would give you something that, if any cop found on you under the slightest bit of suspicion, would still be seen as an illegal weapon, plus the item itself would be less reliable for any task you might use it for (except, possibly, sawing). Rest assured that there is no personal bias against you when I say this is a bad idea. If you carry a knife illegally, YOU and no one else HAS TO HAVE the responsibility and the maturity enough NOT to use it or to get in trouble that would lead to its discovery on your person. Given the content of your posts (especially your bank scenario)- for the good of us all please leave the knives at home.

This is silly. You give the rest of a bad name with your posturing.

Um ... we all know it's spelled Tai Chi, it doesn't award black belts, and it doesn't include balisong, don't we? Oh, maybe not quite all of us....

I don't know whether to move this thread to the Balisong forum, Knife Laws, Whine & Cheese, or even to Practical Tactical. I guess I'll just have to leave it here while I think about it....

Thanks, Cougar. This is the first time I've gotten to a thread like this early enough to get some of the popcorn! ;)
 
A butterfly knife is a butterfly knife is a butterfly knife.

Jebus! We'd all better hope this guy doesn't team up with Warlock, someone might drop a spoon, and they might, like, take out a whole town!

Cougar, there's a green chiclet and warm regards in it for you if this winds up in W&C....
 
Fishfinder, if you can find "rare" fish, why couldn't you swim your ass down under the water to find your 800 dollar bali's?
 
Don't worry. These people just don't understand. Martial arts masters like us can easily take out armed robbers in seconds. However, you are mistaken in thinking you need a balisong to fight. You must trust yourself, and use what's at hand. See, the same scenario happened to me at the beach yesterday. I was strolling across the beach, when I heard screaming behind me. There were 10 robbers wearing black ski masks and holding pistols. They were walking towards me, demanding everyone they came across to empty their valuables into their bag. One of the 18 year old lifeguard girls gave them a shiny rock she found on the beach, but it wasn't enough to appease their greed. They shot her. Then they made their way to me. This was too much. Long ago, I had decided to seal my deadly skills away after nearly killing an opponent in the ring, but for such a travesty, I had no choice but to unleash my power...

I looked down at my feet, and saw the answer. In the blink of an eye, I kicked the sandcastle in their direction. "Argh!" they shouted, as they keeled over, blinded by sand. "Argh!" This was the opportunity I'd been waiting for. "IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!!!" I shouted. I quickly jumped onto a foam cooler and used the spring to backflip over the group, then did a double kung fu kick to 2 of them in the head, taking them out instantly. The others were finished clearing the sand from their eyes by now, and raised their guns. "Not so fast!" I screamed. And plucking a beach umbrella, I tossed it into the air, and used my ninja palm to hit the butt and send it flying point-first at them! "aah!" They screamed as the umbrella impaled 7 of them and had enough power to continue until it stuck the human shish-kabob into a Ford Windstar! The last guy turned and tried to punch me, but I grabbed two fish out of the crushed cooler and used them as nun-chucks. He was stunned, and I knew that to honor the girl, I had no choice but to use the final technique my ninja master had bestowed upon me before his passing- the touch of death. I hit all his pressure points in sequence, he gasped and his complexion slowly went pale. A single tear slowly rolled down my face, for I had been forced to kill again.

Luckily, soon afterwards, all the hot girls came out in bikinis and we partied.
 
If it walk like a duck and looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it's probably a duck.

Same goes for balisongs and people who shouldn't carry knives.
