Is it legal to own a switchblade in North Carolina?

Yes it is. The law only makes it illegal to sell them, and by implication, illegal to carry them concealed on one's person.

Because it is illegal to sell them in Maryland, and because Federal law makes it illegal to sell them over state lines, the only way to obtain a switchblade for a Maryland resident is to travel to another state where it is not illegal to sell or possess switchblades.
