Overview

The Switchblade is a folding knife whose blade springs open at the press of a button. Its look follows the Italian stiletto switchblades that American servicemen brought home after World War II. In the 1950s the knives became movie shorthand for street toughs, and US federal law restricted their sale across state lines in 1958. Films like Rebel Without a Cause and West Side Story helped fix that image in American culture.

GTA Online already has a switchblade. The GTA 6 version appeared in the gameplay that leaked in August 2026, and Rockstar has not shown it since, so it is not officially confirmed.

Its damage, speed and how it differs from the standard knife are unknown, as is where players would find one.
