Penal Code 21510 makes it a misdemeanor to carry, possess or sell a switchblade knife in the state of California. Under Penal Code 17235, a switchblade is defined as a pocketknife with a blade 2 or more inches in length which can be automatically released by the flick of a button, pressure on the handle or a flip of the wrist. A switchblade is sometimes referred to as an automatic knife, pushbutton knife, ejector knife, switch knife, Sprenger or Springer knife, or flick knife. Spring-blade knives, snap-blade knives, gravity knives and similar knives are also illegal switchblades under Penal Code 17235 PC. Other knives which fall within the definition of switchblade include "balisong" or "batanga" knives, also called "butterfly" or "fan" knives. These are folding pocket knives with two handles that counter-rotate around the tang. When closed, the blade is concealed within grooves in the handle.
