Fallout 3
In Fallout 3 the Switchblade is a melee weapon that lacks the humourous description of the versions in the earlier games. It is affected by the Melee Damage Bonus from Strength.

Locations

 * Switchblades can be found on random Raiders or Talon Company Mercs across the Wastelands.
 * Springvale School, on the upper level, stabbed into the desk with the diary terminal
 * Vault 101, if you kill or pickpocket Butch while escaping the Vault.
 * Canterbury Commons, two can be found in Dominic and Machete's Garage.

Variants

 * Butch's Toothpick - Carried by Butch DeLoria outside of Vault 101, Butch's Toothpick does more damage than the regular Switchblade, and has an oddly high critical ratio.
