Your Definition
n., A knife with a blade that can be deployed by [depressing] a button, switch, or hidden mechanism. Switch-blade knives vary in design; some deploy the blade in a linear fashion from the handle ("[out the front]") while others swing a blade out in an arc from the side of the knife handle ("side opener"). Switch-blade or "[automatic]" knives vary in legality from region to region. Gang use of such knives in the American 1950s prompted bans on such knives in several states that remain in force today. Switch-blade knives are illegal in some nations, such as Canada. The term "automatic knife" has replaced "switch-blade" in some knife collector circles when describing modern designs. Also "switchblade".
