In Fallout 3 the Switchblade is a melee weapon that lacks the humourous description of the versions in the earlier games. It is affected by the Melee Damage Bonus from Strength.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Variants

• Butch's Toothpick - Carried by Butch DeLoria outside of Vault 101, Butch's Toothpick does more damage than the regular Switchblade, and has an oddly high critical ratio.
