The emails from people who just want to practice their hobby without fear of arrest keep arriving in my inbox. I am tired of fighting this stigma but I refuse to let them ignore the fact that these are just tools. There is a lot of silence from those in charge, but I am still pushing forward with the paperwork.

I live in Colorado and balisongs are strictly for home use, they can't be taken anywhere outside the property legally and I want to be able to use my balisong for EDC and any other use that pocket knives can be used for because the balisong blade design is more sturdy than any folding knife and that's pretty much what a balisong is; a fancy pocket knife.
Banning balisongs is very irrational. Even though in California they merely limit them, it is still incredibly shortsighted. California is very easy on big, fixed knives but balisongs are classified as switchblades so they must remain under two inches to be carried. Fixed blades have no limit on length however.
Legalize knives
I would suggest adding switchblades in there, you might get more petitions.
I agree!
This beautiful knife has no reason to be banned, if anything, have restrictions on it. Bring balisong back!
Balisons are so fun and I'm really good at manipating them lmao so ya

as a balisong flipper of five years, I firmly believe that balisongs should be legal. For anyone who is worried for these being in the hands of a criminal, they are the same thing as anything you can make with a sharp point. It is a tool. Not a weapon.
