Hi Luke,

     Yes, that's the right term. There are a couple of old big ones on eBay 
right now (30-50 Amp). I believe Radio Shack still sells some small, 
cheaply made ones. Ham fests, flea markets and commercial demolition 
companies are also good sources. Also check out:

Can any one tell me where I can buy some Knife Switches?

I think I am using the right term for them.

The type of switch that has a handle and when the handle is pulled a
portion of the conductor comes with it.  This portion of the conductor
pivots at the other end.  When the handle is pushed back down, the
conductor wedges between two pieces of copper.

Hope this is a clear enough description.

Thanx
