LOL!!!
Well I know the switchblades were around in '62, I had a couple and living in Southern California we used to get 'em down in Tijuana (they were indeed illegal then too). Some of the blades were up to 7".

Seriously though, great question and interesting topic.
Good clarification there Fernando, noting key difference between the locking blades, not the sping loaded device.
Great historical input too, was not aware of spring loaded bayonets Chris!

All best regards,
Jim (daddyeo) Kook-ie man!!!
