      These were common & even easy to buy in the 50's, even when switch-blades were illegal almost everywhere in the States.

      Back in 1957 Estes Kefauver, a Democrat Senator from Tennessee, desperately needed a "cause" that he could manipulate to get elected. By miss-representing the facts, and with the collusion of the media (sound familiar?), he snookered the voters into believing that if only they could ban these dangerous weapons the juvenile gangs plaguing large cities would lay down their weapons and become boy scouts. Congress, having no authority over knives per se, got the Inter-State Commerce Commission to ban transporting them across state lines "for commercial purposes." Of course, there hasn't been any gang violence ever since. The law still stands and you can buy switchblade knives all over the internet.

      Blunderbuss2- Thanks to an organization called KnifeRights the Byzantine and insidious net of anti-knife laws, which mostly penalize honest citizens, is slowly being unraveled and repealed. You'd be surprised how may states have repealed their switchblade bans and prohibit municipalities from enacting laws more restrictive than their state's law. The ICC rule still stands at the Federal level though.

      Ron, I noticed a marked increase of them for sale when they were outlawed. LOL !! You mention a point where laws can have flaws. In the 80's, Alabama decriminalized marijuana & made it a misdemeanor with a max. fine of $200 for up to 1/4 lb.. Didn't work because cities & counties kept throwing their trouble making kids in state prisons under local laws. Complaints from the State fell on deaf ears.
