Movie Switchblades

[BTB0923]

Explain to me what you want, and get me a look at the guts of what they've got already, and I'll design one. Easy.

You would have to incorporate some kind of electronics into it for it to work. Google search "double action otf mechanism" and you will see why.

I read the book but never saw the movie The Outsiders... there's got to be a switchblade in that. How can there not be?

I'll watch short circuit 2 again. I think one of Los Locos might have had one.

Either Chinatown or The Two Jakes, Roman Polanski opens the side of Jack Nicholson's nose with an Italian.

I don't recall whether or not there was one in Terminator or T2.

Theres quite a few in The Outsiders.
Heres a quik preview, I pirated one of Chads videos and put music.
Also the punch it shows Patrick Swayze throw on the Soc ( The Soc's letter jacket is the actual school jacket from the town the movie was filmed in and about) was real and knocked the hometown actor down.
A later interview revealed the guy hit Patrick a little hard and Patrick did'nt mean to actually hit him back, or at least as hard as he did. ( )
Great movie, see it if you can.

Just locked my phone searching. I have a web browser I can see a couple images on a webpage with, and one I can see most with. One's feature poor, the other is unstable.

I haven't been able to see a pic of the insides of one yet, but looking at the outside I see two ways to make it work with a button, with no changes to the internals. Once I see the internals, I can redesign the whole thing.

one is via a Y slot, the other uses a pin and inclined planes. Easy.

Viking if you zoom in on the stiletto Dirty Harry has it is a nice dark horn Italian picklock

Cool vid Jeff!

I read the book but never saw the movie The Outsiders... there's got to be a switchblade in that. How can there not be?

Like Jeff said, there are a few. The one that appears the most is a leverlock...






And there is a balisong in the Outsiders too...

I'll watch short circuit 2 again. I think one of Los Locos might have had one.

Yup, hard to tell what kind it is though...

Either Chinatown or The Two Jakes, Roman Polanski opens the side of Jack Nicholson's nose with an Italian.

Chinatown. Looks like another Rizzuto clone to me. I can't tell whether its one of the Koreans or one of the Taiwanese versions though...

I don't recall whether or not there was one in Terminator or T2.

There was one in each of them. Terminator 1 had some really cheap looking stilettos...







T2 had one that's kinda hard to make out. It looks like it might be a leverlock...

wow! you have amazing "capture" abilities! I used to have a still of that knife up Jack's nostril, with the nose bulged out from the blade tip and all, makes me shudder!

that 3rd pic from Short Circuit looks like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite!

btb: what kind of vidcap you got?
You've obviously got quite a bit of media as well

Wasn't 'That's not a knoife, THIS is a knoife' a switch getting pulled on Dundee?

If I think about it I can name more movie blades

The episode of Peter Gunn where 'The Frog' gets offed it's done with a pearl handled switch *thrown* to the center of his back.

[sicboy13]

Morgan Freeman seems to have a decent stag handled italian in the movie Seven....

[Jeff]

Lone wolf Mcquade has an otf. They tie a "bad guy" to a tree and he pulls out something like an Edge Co. d/a otf
Romancing the stone had a similar d/a otf in a few scenes,
Cobra w/ sylvester stalone had a otf,
same with The Hitcher................

Here is a oldie, North by Northwest has a man killed in the UN with a swicthblade thrown into his back....

You mean like this part?

Not a vidcap really, just Gadwin Printscreen.

yup...

I hope its not too nice cuz he repeatedly thew it at a dartboard in that movie ...

NOOOICE!

You got mad skills, kid

Another movie with a switchblade is Force 10 From Navarone. Carl Weather's character used an Italian Stiletto.

Lone wolf Mcquade has an otf. They tie a "bad guy" to a tree and he pulls out something like an Edge Co. d/a otf

Romancing the stone had a similar d/a otf in a few scenes,

Romancing the Stone also had a 10.5" step bolster Rizzuto

Cobra w/ sylvester stalone had a otf,

I think the only two knives in Cobra are this manual action folder and spikey handled fixed blade knife...




Are you sure you weren't thinking about another Stallone movie, like maybe the Specialist?...

the specialist with stallone also have an rizzy clone in a fight on a bus?

yup...

same with The Hitcher................

The Hitcher had a custom Jeff Harkins Triton in it...

Here is a oldie, North by Northwest has a man killed in the UN with a swicthblade thrown into his back....
