- "From your pocket to hilt-deep in the other guy's ribs in under a second: folding knives will never go out of style."
- ―Ammu-Nation and Social Club description.
The Switchblade is a weapon in Grand Theft Auto Online, added in the Executives and Other Criminals update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Switchblade is a small folding blade primarily based on the Italian Stiletto from World War II. The Switchblade is also likely based on the Massaro or Beltrame Stiletto knives.
The weapon is grey with a black/grey handle by default. Depending of the player's occupation in an organization, there are two different appearances for the weapon: the "Bodyguard" version, which has a brown/black handle with a shorter separation of the blade and the handle and having a small serration on the blade; and the "VIP" version, which has black/gold handle with a curved separation and having a slightly curved end on the blade.
The Switchblade has "STAINLESS STEEL" and "EDINBURGH" carved into the bottom of the blade.
Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Switchblade is virtually similar to the Knife, having the same lethal damage and having a quick attack. Its only downside, however, is that it cannot be used while underwater.
