Switchblade

The  is a melee weapon in Fallout 2, Fallout 3, and Fallout Tactics.

Fallout 2
These little knives are pretty rare, usually in the hands of New Reno prostitutes and pimps. Despite its rarity, it's not horribly better than the Knife, and pales in comparison to the more common Combat Knife.

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.
 * Old Olney, In a Mail Dropbox.
 * Warrington Trainyard, Bessie Lynn has one. Either kill her or pickpocket it.
 * In Chevy Chase, across from GNR there is a school with dead super mutants from Following in His Footsteps. Search desks and you will find beer and a Switchblade.

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.

Fallout Tactics
The Switchblade in Fallout Tactics is a fairly common weapon. It doesn't do as much damage as the other available weapons, but is worth a good amount from the Brotherhood.

Locations

 * Carried by Daisy-May Gomer.
 * One of the raiders outside the Brahmin Wood compound entrance carries one. There's another one inside the raider road block, one in the ruined buildings, and one outside the raider base.

Bugs -- Although your pipboy shows you holding it backhand you fight with it forehand.
