Is a Trainer Legal

I have the Spyderco Trainer and was wondering if it was legal for me to own. I need some work done on it but I don't want to send it in if it's not because Spyderco won't return it. Thanks for your help. Ashley

I would think that a trainer is legal, there is no "real" blade to it that can cut. Just my thought, not sure if it is correct. Best of luck though.

If you are not an LEO, or in the military, I think it would be risky to return any Spyderco balisong, even the trainer, to them for service. It's not so much a question of whether it's legal for you to own it. It's a question of whether Spyderco would be prohibited from returning it to you by the same ridiculous ruling by the 10th Circuit Court which restricts how they can market their balisongs.

I personally think that the auto rule is ridiculous. What about a wave or a straight blade? They are quicker than an auto any day!!!!
