Sunday With Blackthorn - Today We Discuss The History Of The Italian SwitchBlade And The Bullshit Behind How And Why They Were Banned

 Ahhhh, all those cheesy "Juvenile Delinquent" movies of the 50's and 60's. 12 Angry Men, The Asphalt Jungle, Westside Story (yeah I know, but I had to throw it in there), and even Elvis in King Creole.

Yes, truly damning material......

This video is a good if somewhat brief historical perspective  on the History of the Switchblade and Italian cutlery as well as how a bunch of low budget movies and one article in a Ladies Magazine of the 50's brought about the Federal Ban of 1958.

Some interesting facts here gentlemen. Enjoy!
