Overview

The Switchblade is a bladed melee weapon in Grand Theft Auto VI, reported from the August 2026 gameplay leak. Coverage of the footage listed it among the blades spotted in the clips. The name points to the Italian stiletto switchblade as the real-world basis.

Its sighting rests on a single press report so far, so treat this entry as thinner evidence than the wrench or the taser until more sources or official material confirm it. Rockstar has not commented on any leaked content.

Trivia

Switchblades have appeared across the series since the 3D era, most famously in the knife-focused combat of GTA: Vice City, which the Leonida setting deliberately echoes.
