04 Key Switchblade swap?

I am planning to get a set of switchblades (used, so there is already a key in it)...
Most of the threads in the forum in about milling new keys or using blanks. How about merely swapping the keys from my original to the switchblade? Is it possible?

Perhaps Csmeance or HeelToe can chime in and give me a quick heads up regarding what I can do

the problem is that the blanks cannot be swapped, the 07 one is made into the plastic mechanism and the only way to take it apart is cut it and then reglue it, which will fall apart after a while and not look good. However, you can cut and put the TL key into an accord non-switchbladekey.

Ah thank you, that pretty much answers my question
