11 Atypical Switchblade Designs

From Retro Weapon Top Poppers to Switchblade Keys

"Creative" is the best way to describe all of these atypical switchblade designs. The switchblade is one of the most iconic knife designs around. The knife's popularity, combined with it being banned in many U.S. states, has led creatives to re-purpose its design.

The switchblades found here can cause as much bodily harm as a rolled magazine (provided said magazine is not in the hands of Jason Bourne). These atypical switchblade designs include everything from flashdrives to cutlery and car keys. All of these designs show the indelible mark that the switchblade has left on America. The days of the Jets and Sharks fighting with switchblades may be long gone, but that doesn't mean that you can't open a bottle like a gangster from the 1950s.
