A switchblade essentially involves some automatic
function. The automatic function of the switchblade makes it easy to
use. There is no manual or mechanical force required for opening or
unlocking the knife. Only a pushbutton function needs to be activated
for opening these automatic knives. It is automatic as only pushing of a
button is required to bring the knife into action. It is used for
various purposes such as cutting, peeling etc. These knives are
attractive in color and good to hold. The grip is such that there is no
chance of harm to the holder. The switchblade automatic knives are deployed instantly.
They are useful when
suddenly required as they pull open just by pressing the button. The
blade is hidden in the body or the handle of the knife. Although the
fully automatic knives do not have very good reputation they come handy
when suddenly necessary. These knives not-so-good reputation is because
of the action it creates. When pressed, the blade opens fast and
instantly with a slashing action. There is a general perception that the
sashing action could be lethal for the holder as well as any other
persons around. This threat can be delt by using semi-automatic knives.
Under this, the knives are opened automatically but remain within a lock
system. From this stage it can opened fully using manual action.
