I don't get it, are knives illegal in Italy? What if I want to cut my spaghetti?
Spring assisted switchblades are illegal in quite a few countries, so I imagine they are in Italy as well. Still completely ridiculous, as these are plastic toy replicas, and not actual knives.
I'm pretty sure 30 years ago they were legal in Italy but maybe not OTF, out the front. That seems to often be an important legal distinction.
Afaik, all one hand operation deployment knives are illegal to carry in Italy. Ballisongs/butterfly knives included.
I'm not sure if there are special licenses that would allow you to carry them.
Maybe the law changed? Maybe they were legal to own but not to carry? Maybe illegal knives of factory quality were more prevalent?
Sorry, I formulated that badly. They used to be legal up until the 70s or 80s.
