Switchblade

A switchblade is a type of retractable knife, used primarily as a weapon. I mean... you wouldn't cut a grapefruit with it, now would you? Switchblades were popular amongst bad-asses during the 1970s and 1980s, but have fallen out of favor in the modern era as the use of firearms have proven to be a more effective means of killing a mo'fo'. Still, there is a certain charm to the good old fashioned switchblade, and who doesn't feel a slight ticklish amount of comfort every time you hear that memorable clicking sound as the blade leaves its sheathe?
