A switchblade is an automatic open knife. You only have to press a button and the blade deploys. These are illegal to own in many states and illegal to carry in public in others.

These are legal in most places, depending on the length of the blade. There are various assisted opening mechanisms and spring loaded is one of them. Others include ones operated by torsion bars like Ken Onion SpeedSafe, which is used in Kershaw and Zero Tolerance knives
