Switchblades are legal in Florida, but cannot be carried concealed unless small enough to be considered a "common pocketknife"
NOTE to Steve:
Switchblades are NOT illegal in all 50 states.

I don't know about Florida law, but Gray is correct that switchblade knives are perfectly legal in several states.
They should be legal everywhere. Let's face it, switchblade knives just make good sense. 90% of the time a guy needs to use a knife, he only has one hand free. It is lots easier to open a switchblade than to fumble around trying to hold on to whatever and opening an old three-blade stockman-type knife.

Switchblade knives are legal to possess in many states,Florida being one of those that allows them, but ironically almost every state that allows them has very strict laws against carrying them (Florida is again one such state)..........
NOTE* Not ALL 50 States allow Switchblades.....

It looks like they're legal with no size limit, but I wouldn't advise carrying one because they don't seem to be a 'common pocketknife' as described in the law.

Right on Doc + JD.
That means you can legally have one for your knife collection, but don't ever carry it for protection.
