True. But that wasn't the point.

The point is the word 'Switchblade' being used and the connotations it carries -- evil, scary, bad knife, only used by gangs and criminals -- when in fact it wasn't a 'Switchblade', but a regular, old, common, folding, lock blade knife (I've had one of these 'stilettos' since 1969. Its now in an old tool box in my garage collecting rust).

The use of the word is akin to the lefty gun grabbers mind game of calling every 'scary looking rifle' an 'Assault Rifle'.

Surprised it wasn’t a machete.
