Searching Embassy or Sabofly on their site reveals nothing. Why do other companies like Kershaw also make it hard to find their autos? Why no advertising on it either? I only found out the Embassy at work last week when our retail store accidentally got the restricted Spyderco Catalog with the Sabofly and the Embassy.
 
Because in Colorado they are considered restricted items. You can find them at any online retailer that sells Spyderco.
 
ANY automatic or balisong is considered a restricted item, and is only available through authorized dealers. Those dealers have to sign an agreement stating they will sell those models only to proven save and serve professionals (L.E.O., E.M.T., firefighters) or military personel. Those who sell them to civilians, even where it is legal for said civilians to buy such knives, may lose their Spyderco dealer status. Of course, if you pay the last fine Spyderco incurred for selling balisongs, they might reconsider. As I recall, it was around $750,000.
