A standard-sized crosscut saw concealed within a safety handle.
For sudden cutting situations that were unforesaw.

You mean like a folding camping saw? |

"Ooo, I am just SO sharp!" |

Try a google search for "folding saw". Too many results to pick just one. |
|
| |
I'm not sure how "switchblade" got conflated with "folding". The blade is not intended to rotate out of the handle, but spring out directly. This is known as OTF -- out the front. |

Well, it would be pretty dangerous to have a big saw blade come "flying out" as a switchblade does, so if you want it to be that, I'll give it a fishbone. |
|
| |
It sure would. I'm selling the patent to Bastards, Inc.
Then again -- if it's safe enough for cosmonauts... |
|

In the happy days of my youth, "switchblade" always meant a folding knife that opened with a button. Knives that popped out the front had a different name entirely, but I can't recall it--flickknife, maybe. Having to specify "OTF" makes it seem likely that the conflating has been to put OTFs in with the decent and honorable switchblades. |
|
| |
I have seen OTF camping saws, BTW. |
|
| |
[BB] A knife where the blade thrust out of the handle was a "Bloody Mary" when I was a little dilenquent |
|
| |
**unforeseen** not "unforesaw". Or is that supposed to be some kind of a pun? |
|
| |
[bb] Where I come from, "switchblade" *generally* implies OTF rather than side-opening. My father has an EXTENSIVE collection (1000s) of knives, and switchblades are one of his bailiwicks. The majority of these are OTF. |
|

I've seen Bigfoot. A whole herd of Bigfeet, actually. They were dancing and had cold fusion. Didn't get a picture, though. |
|
| |
[BJS] You've heard the old saw about horses and water. You look thirsty. |
|
| |
I seem to recall that the "flick-chainsaw" was one of the frequently-recurring themes for proposed new items when I was an undergrad and everyone was trying to write their own MUD clone... |
|
| |
I have no idea what you mean by "You've heard the old saw about horses and water. You look thirsty." |
|
| |
I'm thinking he means the cliche--
'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink'......
but one never knows for sure.....kind of like bad puns. |
|
| |
//Where I come from, "switchblade" *generally* implies OTF // Damn, the things I learn here on the Halfbakery. Thanks. Where I come from "switchblade" usually implied scary kids from the big city, so I'm going to admit my ignorance and shut up. |

saw, n.
A familiar saying, especially one that has become trite through repetition. |
|
| |
And all puns are bad, by definition. |
