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.
• Chevy Chase: across from GNR, there is a school with dead super mutants from Following in His Footsteps. Search the desks, and you will see

a switchblade, along with some beer.

• The Pitt Wernher offers the Lone Wanderer a concealed switchblade which becomes a regular switchblade after the Lone Wanderer's inventory is confiscated.
