Is is illegal to carry a buterfly knife in ur pocket while in the street?

Answer 1

A state/location would be helpful.

Things that make a particular knife lawful/unlawful:

Blade length.
Double edged vs single edged.
Some jurisdictions specifically ban the butterfly knife itself.

Best bet is to go to your local library and look it up in the State Code (assuming you're in the US).

Answer 2

depends what state you are in. I know in Indiana it is OK if only one side of the blade is sharp. If it is double edged it is illegal. As for other states I do not know.

your really should put a state with these kinds of questions since knife laws are different in every state.

Answer 3

In most places if the blade is longer than 3 inches it's illegal

Answer 4

Depends on locality and length of extended knife tip of handle to tip of blade.

Answer 5

It is illegal, but nothing would happen if you don't get caught. Just don't start waving it around like an animal and attract attention to yourself.
