I've done the switchblade swap from eBay. Your old key won't work.

The new case has the blank built into the hinge of the switchblade action. There is no way to remove the blank from the hinge, nor is there a way to attach yours unless you cut it and attach it some way...

can't see that being any easier than getting the new blank cut.

I paid $20 to get mine cut at a high-end locksmith shop.
