Switchblade Pocket Knife

Switchblades (or automatic Knives) may appear in two types: side-opening (swing blades) or front-opening (switchblades).
They were built to be fast, practical and to don’t require two hands to handle it, because they have a lever or button to quickly draw the blade.
In some countries, Switchblades are covered by specific laws, being prohibited for example in Australia, Canada or Hungary.
