A folding switchblade. A switchblade (also known as switch knife, automatic knife, pushbutton knife, ejector knife, flick knife, gravity knife, flick blade, or spring knife) is a pocketknife with a sliding or pivoting blade contained in the handle which is extended automatically by a spring when a button, lever, or switch on the handle or bolster is activated.
A Microtech Hawk and OTF Scarab. An automatic OTF knife blade travels within an internal track or channel in the same manner as a manual slider or gravity knife, but the automatic main spring drive and button mechanism enclosed within the knife requires a switchblade handle to be thicker or longer than a similar size gravity or sliding knife.
The blade itself is a relatively blunt spear-point, and the profile is flat ground, tapering to a utility edge. To open the blade, the user points the knife downwards while flipping up the fulcrum-style operating lever, allowing gravity to draw out the blade to its fullest extent. Releasing the lever locks the blade into position.

An OTF knife, showing the sliding blade being extended from the handle. A sliding knife is a knife that can be opened by sliding the knife blade out the front of the handle.
