They're legal. LOL, that's it. 

In the case of Commonwealth vs. Miles (I think in 1990 or 92) the court found that balisongs were not considered prohibited offensive weapons. So, they've been legal to own and carry since then, though most police would likely not know that. They're still illegal to carry in Philly, since it's illegal to carry any knife in Philly.
