A real switchblade knife uses a spring loaded blade hidden inside the hollow handle and a release lever. When the release lever (i.e. switch) is flipped the spring rapidly forces the blade from the hollow handle into position for use and the blade latches on a catch that is part of the release lever. To put the blade back in the hollow handle the release lever is moved to unlatch the catch and the tip of the blade is pressed against a hard surface to compress the spring again. The image shows one of these switchblade knives with the release lever clearly visible.

If you own a concealed weapons permit you can carry a switchbade knife if Florida, otherwise it is illegal to carry concealed. It is legal to own a switchblade in Florida though. You just can't carry it concealed without the correct weapons permit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not true. In Florida switchblades are no different than any other knife and no permit is required to carry this or any other "ordinary pocket knife" A knife over 4 inches in blade length or that is deemed, or perceived, as a "combat" knife can cause you problems. Simply being a switchblade does not make it a combat knife, that law has already been settled
It's legal if its under 1.5 inches
