Modify Balisong to be legal in California?

Why did you polute the oceans with your knives and this forum with your silly banter?
 
Just a gentle word to the wise, gentlemen, this is the General Discussion Forum. Personal attacks are not tolerated here.

Don't go getting yourself banned over someone else's posts.
 
Ill Buy you the beer for the fun I have had here tonight buy just asking a question im glad I could entertain you tonight it looks like you havn't had anyone to razz lately Im honored to have provided you the fun.

also to the one post that I misspelled Ti Chi its true True Spelling is Taiji
I studied Taiji qan Sun style.

So it looks like theres no way to Mod the knife for california laws just make it alot smaller, So thanks for your time again .
 
What about a bandolier of 60-80 "1.9 balis? That would be within the law and allow you to throw a flurry of perfectly aimed knives at the throng of armed assailants you run into everyday. I'm not making fun of you. Two loaded bandoliers of mini-balis is my EDC, that's why I mentioned it.

The reason I carry 4, since it seems that has made some of you cuirious, Ill give you a scenario, Lets say your in a bank just went there to cash your pay check while you stand in line 4 armed bank robbers come in start screaming orders out , Then suddenly one of the robbers shots a 18 year old girl just because shes doing her job, well now you have to make a decision do you do nothing and hope they dont kill anyone else or do you do your best to stop it? well thats a hard decision to make because if you fail you might get more killed, now I would have to stop it. 1st I would take out the 2 robbers farthest from me by throwing 2 balisong , now im left with 2 more to take out the robbers closest to me. Im not saying I could do this because it hasnt happend but I atleast have a chance.

BEST POST EVER!! :D
 
lol great thread, however it DID serve a purpose. I learned about the bottlefly! I will be off to college next year, and well, i dont think balis are legal here otehr than as a curio, and it woud be dificult to keep ppl from flippling out at a real one. Thus, i will play with the bottlefly instead. Maybe if i get serious i will have to consider a quality one.

They tend to not do weapons. They're cool thats why. They don't need no pussy ass knives. Phhh, what kina BS is that? :barf:
 
If you're really that concerned about being attacked, sell your $800.00 balisong collection and buy a gun to carry. (I'm sure this is also illegal in Kalifornia.)

If you're feel like you must carry a balisong, I would just ignore the law and do it.

roflmao. the number of replies to this thread should have clued me in earlier that there was something interesting going on here :)

the whole bank scenario reminds me of one of the most unrealistic movies of all time. i saw it when i was a kid and it *still* struck me as unrealistic, so i can only imagine what id think seeing it now. 'American Ninja'... i believe theres a scene there where he kills several armed men by throwing screwdrivers into their necks and chests. even if it were possible to throw something as insanely handle-weighted like a screwdriver acccurately and make it stick, an adrenaline-pumped evil criminal wouldnt die instantly from a drinking-straw-sized spike penetrating his neck - even his jugular. even cutting someones throat wouldnt kill someone instantly.

presuming that even if you opened/latched two (generally non blade-weighted) balisongs in seconds and threw them - and they didnt unlatch and close in midair, lol - the odds of totally incapacitating someone are near zero. you could probably throw a dozen balisongs into someone and they would still keep coming at you, and would have plenty of time to empty the clip of their gun into your ass :) youd have to be immaculately ambidextrous to hit the second guy too. just about the only surefire quick way to drop someone is a large caliber bullet to the head, preferably the brain stem, but thats not exactly an easy target when theyre moving/facing you and you are in a combat situation - with a thrown knife you have far better odds of winning the lottery.
not to mention that ive had just about everything from linoleum floor tiles and hockey pucks to bricks thrown at me at various points in my life (rough neighborhood), and if you see them coming you have plenty of time to duck/dodge them. not quite so for bullets - this isnt the matrix, heh.

this whole thing reminds me of grade 2 discussions id have with my friends after watching action movies - wed usually end it by drop-kicking each other or trying out wrestling moves, *snicker*

fishy - how old are you?
 
What you could do is develop an assault rifle that fires saw blade balisongs, thus avoiding both California knife and gun laws! You would be the most 31337 ninja to ever grace a mall.
 
The only thing I like better than knives, is a gun that shoots knives!
 
Everyone needs flaming chainsaw rounds for their 3 gauge shotgun. For home defense, and in case nazi frogmen attack the bank while your trying to convince the teller to cash your Burger Barn paycheck even though you don't have an account. No one is truly equiped for the urban jungle unless they have at least 4 balisongs, a flaming-chainsaw shooting shottie, and a black leather trench coat.
 
I carried 2 balisongs once. On my way to a get-together of fellow knife collectors. Didn't run into any ninjas that day...
 
As a fan of Balisongs I would really like this thread not to digress into a Balisong Bashing thread... a Balisong is just as good as any other knife and I don't talk bad about folders or fixed blades in the Bali forum so please don't disrepect the Balisong itself in this one.

Mr. Rarefishfinder may have some strange views, but please do not bash the balisong itself, Im am working my ass off to give it a better name then it already has and I would not want to take 2 steps back everytime I take one step forward.

Thanks,
Heath
 
i didnt notice anyone bashing balisongs, i have nothing against them myself. personally i dont believe that a 4 inch blade becomes more lethal depending upon the method of opening... nor do i believe that someone with a balisong is automatically a murderer, while someone with a buck 110 is necessarily an upstanding citizen.

unfortunately the reason balisongs are banned in many states/countries ATM is because of people like rarefishfinder giving them bad publicity. if the average responsible joe wanted to open letters or peel oranges with a balisong, i dont think anyone would care.... its all the 1337 ninjas giving them a bad name.
