thanks for the support.
just to clear this up
-switchblades are illegal in newyork (oh well, this is worth it, and i might work on it upstate).
-i know its dangerous.
-I'm not planning to sell it or show it off, i'm planning to do it just to see if i can. I want it to be functional because a movie prop would be kind of stupid.
-i found out that some knives have a release pressure of over 300 pounds. i don't think i'll need that kind of release power. I'll need a type of safety on it. and i'll use a pin-pull mechanism to release it. I'd also like to release it by making a fist, this sounds hard, but not if you add brass knuckles to it. So that when you grasp hardly, it pulls down on the brass knuckles which, in turn pulls out a pin. I'm not planning to kill anyone. i would just like to be able to chop up watermelons(and other fruits and such) in a slightly sadistic fashion. There would be no way of selling it due to how dangerous it is and the limited market (it would be pretty expensive).
oh, and about the link on one of the previous replies (about the guy with the wolverine costume), thats what inspired me. I realized that if you hit those things with a bat, or tried to chop something up with that you would either break your wrist or break the blades off of the sliding mechanism.
until next time,
Tim
