Janisong incoming?

Soo... BladeHQ put up a pre-order listing for the Janisong, about when the Reveal 17 listings were added to their site. I figured it was an operator error. But now DLT Trading has a listing up as well. Does this mean we're going to be able to get our hands on one here in the US?

Dear Buddafucco:

Yes. Due to some changes in the legal landscape, the JaniSong will now be sold in the U.S.

Stay safe,

Mike

what great news for the knife enthusiasts in the US, I received mine years ago (France). I am looking forward to many videos on Youtube, with numerous tricks and moves.

I don't doubt Spyderco, they wouldn't be doing this otherwise. But can you elaborate on those legal changes? A quick google search of 'can you import balisongs to the US' didn't bring up anything relevant that I could find. Should for some reason one of us get jammed up for having a Balisong stamped Taiwan, it would be useful to be able to point to the relevant law.
