I have to keep wish in mind if they will ship these and otf knives. I can't buy them from eBay or Amazon. I can only buy spring assisted knives from ebay and absolutely no pocket knives from Amazon. I can have rambo knives shipped to my door with Amazon prime though. Lol.
@@Don-Bennett It does happen. I knew people who got both switchblades and brass knuckles online. They are both illegal here in Canada, so must have been overlooked. But I bet if I ordered one theyd find it! ; )
smaller one functions perfectly (& quickly) and feels like a good size, large one very inconsistent to eject blade every time, no issues other than that
See the shiny metal part that includes the guard one of them swivels to unlock blade, watch the vid carefully you will see me swivel the guard with my thumb.
Good for the money, mine was pretty decent quality. The cost of the real ones are going double what I pd 2 years ago and they had sharp points on them, not the copy. They are not junk.
Quick question can you modify these yourself to be better quality I mean yeah why buy something you shouldn't have to fix your self but I like switchblades so can these clone be fixed like replace fake grips with solid wood grips a fixe the springs so it could close all the way and not open automatically without pressing the button? You guys know what I mean right?
@@Dan-Commando I used to keep it in my back pocket on my motorcycle so the safety started rubbing against the plastic and it wore out but the spring and blade is still in perfect shape.
Invest in a quality vintage picklock and leave the cheap stuff alone. Mine is worth at least 20 times what I paid for it in 1976 and it was probably 30 years old at that time.

Cool but just so people know, switchblades are terrible IRL nowadays for defence. Soft blade metal, weak lock, easy to break. You’re better off with a big folder from someone like cold steel. I like bayonett style blades so I EDC a Ti-Lite 6” more reach, aus8a, stronger lock, more blade steel etc. plus I can wave it out before you even touch the button. Their collector items
Switch blades dont fold open they are traditional in opening from the front of the knife with the blade extending as it exits the front of the handle, "that's a flickblade" styled one bud but still near enough the same shape blade anyway but with a different mechanism, my credit card knives I use to go fishing when in the town fishing at the docks as the police can't do anything as it isn't a large fixed blade it's got quarter of the "card that fold down once you flip the blade the opposite way and then you fold the other quarter down over the other side
@@elitetryhard363 hi i'm Australian and orded one of these knives and it got here fine in fact i went back and bought another 2 in different colors so you should have no problem getting one of these
Pilgrips are a brand of bike grips "it looks like a synthetic coloured marble on the handle bud" I GOT A Credit CARD KNIFE AND A HUNTING GATHERER KNIFE AND A PEN WITH A 4" BLADE THAT COMES OUT THE top and to get it to take the handle back in you have to slide the spring down to the bottom by the small external switch on the side of the pen and once it's all the way pushed down you have to push the blade back in which it's lasted a few years
The traditional stiletto knife was fixed blade with a pointed tip meant for stabbing. However, the modern-day switchblade stiletto is similar to the stiletto knife, differing only in its concealment. Modern-day switchblade stiletto knife is concealable, a type of a pocket knife that opens up with a push of a button. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiletto
Always press the button when closing the blade to prevent undo wear on the sear pin.
thanks for the advice friend , i just ordered one i’ll definitely keep this in mind
I have a custom 1 that is how you close it
I didn't know that. Thanks for the advice.
Yeah thats how I do it
Also, if you wanna be extra careful with it, store the switchblade open so that the spring lasts longer.
Guess you can call them “wishblades”
oh god lmao
Some of the fake ones are actually pretty good. But you have to make sure the area is clear when you fire them open. LOL 😆
Is this a good alternative if you're not willing to buy a actual Italian made one that usually goes for maybe 100$ +
I think so yes

@@fredwilley5931 did you end up getting a refund or something?
I always find that these cheaper ones are more for everyday carry rather than an actual AKC
I agree. I have a 10 inch swing guard I got off of wish, and compared to my Frank B. The blade holds a sharper edge for a lot longer.

@@honestdave he hit the table with the blade.... he's no expert
Italian style push button switchblades are not edc knives at all. They are just pocket jewelry made in Italy or not. Still pretty cool though
Bro thanks for doing this review I was on the fence on buying one of these

How did you manage a automatic knife? In Australia they are illegal (I imagine you are in New Zealand)
they are illegal here, my last knife was confiscated by customs, so no more otf or switchblade reviews from me
Ross Dixon did you get a fine or anything ?

👍🏻😂😂💋
Sadly that’s kinda how it is now 🤣 Akc is no longer around.
Thank you for this review out of the 2 which is the better one and have you had any problems with them since you ordered them .
smaller one functions perfectly (& quickly) and feels like a good size, large one very inconsistent to eject blade every time, no issues other than that
How do you close the knife? I can't close it . Maybe it's defective or I'm a idiot.

@@rossdixon5050 Dude, thanks a lot. I got it down now.
Thinking about buying an 8.5 inch switchblade. I see comments about it and the reviews are really good
Blades 8 inch or together it’s 8 inch
Good for the money, mine was pretty decent quality. The cost of the real ones are going double what I pd 2 years ago and they had sharp points on them, not the copy. They are not junk.
Where did u buy that blue 1 and how much did it cost
blue one from wish but I am sure you could find it on ali express too
Hopefully this doesn't sound weird but is it good for stabbing/self defense ?
doubtfull point is not overly sharp
The big one looks like it can be good for that just sharpen the tip of both ends
Can switch blades open if you carry them in your pocket?
these designs have a sliding lock that prevents that ( just below the big open button )

Sure they can.
How is the little one,is it still working well?
still works as i got it
do the blades get loose and can you tighten them
its all brass riveted together, don't expect a lot from these knives the quality matches the price.
@@rossdixon5050 yeah. i just took the risk and ordered one to canada. hopefully it comes through.
@@rossdixon5050 update: it came through

The blade on mine moves a little bit when it’s open. Is that normal?
there will always be a bit of side movement in the blade.
Cool knifes how did you get theam cool
Used to get those blue ones for $5.
Ok cool knifes how do i get one
Wooooow what a beauty
Good thing I live in Kansas, there legal in my state so I have one as a edc.
same for Tennessee
@@Goofiest_goober838 I remember being in Tennessee in the 80s, and you could buy them at a truck stop! I was so surprised as they are illegal in Canada : )
In my state, you can have them in a collection (or even just one) in your home, but it's still illegal to carry one on your person.
Does it come sharp out the box?
yeah useably sharp
Classic 1950s style knives, straight out of west side story.
Where can I order?
back then wish, idk where now tbh.
How have you managed to get them in Australia, or a you in another country

Not illegal in my state
Want to order one of these in denmark but wont the authorities check my package before sending it to me? These are not legal here.
broblem with cheap knives is that the blade wont shrpen ivening if you try to sharpen that
As long as it's not molten, there isn't a metal in all of existence that can't be sharpened.
Had a budget one like this in the 80s..had to pull it to defend myself once and it broke..not a good day for me!
Are they real?
copies of Italian switchblades made in china
Kermit Bob they're from wish so you can guess...
They may look and feel nice but the metal may be corrosive under lighter pressure than standard switchblades
No way they ship to the uk
U can get them. They turn up with a letter from HMC. And a police man instead of the postman. EVERYTHING!!! coming to UK by air etc. Is x rayd.
