What's the Difference Between a Switchblade and a Spring Assisted Knife?

The switchblade: a knife synonymous with gang culture, violence, crime and more. Perhaps the knives are classified wrongly. Perhaps they are a proponent of 1950’s propaganda. Often associated on websites with the mobsters in Italy, these knives were once very popular with Americans and America’s youth.  The legality of switchblades ultimately determined their popularity and eventually their fate. In recent times the semi-automatic knife or “spring assisted knife” has taken the place as the main go-to knife in terms of availability, popularity and of course legality. These automatic, out the front knives known as switchblades are now illegal to sell over state lines. This is partly due in part to a series of news stories and reports denouncing the use of switchblades as tools and depicting them as means of crime and violence amongst America’s youth. This apparent war on switchblades started in 1950 with the article “The Toy That Kills”, an article by Jack Harrison Pollack that depicting switchblades as lethal weapons easily accessible by kids.

Okay, so let’s get down to brass tacks. The main difference between a switchblade and a spring assisted knife lies in the blade ejection. Switchblades feature an out-the-front blade ejection, more than likely accessed with a button operated feature. Spring assisted knives have “trigger” or a “flipper” attached to each blade that sticks out past the handle of the knife when closed. This is an integral part in the design spring assisted knives have and the basic model for most spring assisted knives today.  An illegal switchblade features a blade that ejects out of the front with the simple push of a button. There is a constant force or pressure pressing on the blade at all times forcing it forward and out of the top of the handle. This part of the switchblade’s mechanics made the knife comparable to a Revolver in “The Toy That Kills” article. Often, switchblade criminals would approach their victims, put the handle of the switchblade to their victim’s flesh and press the blade eject button.

Spring assisted knives are primarily out of the side rather than “out the front” or O.T.F. The natural position for a spring assisted knife blade is for it to be closed, folded and inside of the knife’s handle. There is no constant force pressing against the blade to pushing it out like a switchblade. What ejects the blade in spring assisted knives is the user themselves pushing on the trigger to eject the blade. This allows the spring mechanics to take over and eject the blade with ease. With a switchblade, the blade ejects and injects with the same button whereas a spring assisted knife blade has be closed by the users finger.
