Switchblades

Post  Fight Designer on Sun Mar 02, 2008 4:59 am

I get a lot of folks looking for theatrical switchblades. Heard of some folks converting the switchblade combs, and been tempted to do that myself. Supposedly Weapons of Choice has done that. They're not very durable for fights though...

Anyone found a good (and legal) answer?

...as a follow-up, just got these off ebay to grind down for prop use as switchblades. Spring assist, but motion still needs to be initiated by flicking either the thumb stud or the rear protruding part of the guard... so not technically a switchblade.

Uses a standard liner lock mechanism.
