Pocketknife in Spanish

I would like to know the Spanish for the following words. I can't find translations or I'm not sure it's correct:

Pocketknife
Switchblade
Butterfly knife

I know knife is cuchillo So I don't know if pocket knife would be cuchillo de bolsillo or I found navaja too, but I'm not sure what that is if it's pocketknife.

Thanks!!

Switchblade is "navaja automática" or simply "navaja".

I can't find a translation for butterfly knife (also known as a balisong). Here's a picture of one though, if that helps anyone find a translation.

Scary knife?

Actually it seems to be a literal translation: navaja mariposa
