No mention of switchblades, balisongs, gravity knives, etc. Looks like you can carry just about anything you want of any size. There is the "other deadly weapon" part, but that would likely require probable cause, since anything (like a normal knife, baseball bat, or car) can be a "deadly weapon".

This site confirms it.

I don't know what an angel blade is.
 
So an out-the-front (OTF) auto then? Well, "switchblades" are usually defined as having a button, switch, lever, etc activating a spring (or letting gravity) to open the knife, so it's a catch-all term. SC law makes no mention of any of that, so carry away!
