Codified into law there can be some reason to it. A butterfly knife isn't a lot more lethal than a similarly sized Leatherman. But a self-respecting gangster is going to go with the much cooler butterfly knife, which for many countries is enough reason to ban one but not the other.
However this should be a matter of law, not enforcement decisions.
