The switchblade is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics

Switchblades are lightweight and fast, but are slightly less powerful than a standard combat knife. They do not have much in the way of modification, and only become serrated to boost their meager damage. This modification does not require a perk to craft, so switchblades are an adequate choice of melee weapon early in the game.
