No, it is not a switch blade. A switch blade has a spring assisted opening mechanism, released by a switch. A thumb stud provides a handle on the blade for manually opening the blade; more convenient than the standard thumbnail grove.

How does a switchblade knife work?

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.
