zoomie,
I am envious that your g.f. has a switchblade.
I miss the Italian [stiletto] switchblade that I had once had.
The basic problem is that they are illegal, and courts treat
them as illegal concealed weapons on par with a handgun.
I really really wish that I could obtain a new (or old) one.
A switchblade knife has a blade that is spring-loaded.
That is distinguished from the (legal) "gravity knife"
which opens by a whip-like action of the hand.
