Best Answer

A butterfly knife is a folding pocket knife that is concealed within it's handle, but can be flipped out from either side. A switchblade is a knife that is "switched" forward by pressing a button, switch, or lever. Both weapons are considered "gravity knives" and are illegal to possess, purchase, sell, or trade in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and most of Europe.
