I don't think anyone has mentioned one of my favorite shots from "Bad at Black Rock" when one armed Spencer Tracy beats the crap our of Ernie Borgnine , and then pulls from Borgnine's front pocket a 11" or 13" beauty,we would all love to have, and throws onto a pinball machine in front of Robert Ryan. 1955, Great fight, great knife.
It does look like a nice stiletto...
Nice lookin knife, looks like a transitional with a swedge and a swivel bolster

I think you are mistaken about the swedge and the swivel bolster . It looks like a bayonet bladed picklock top me and remember this movie was made in 1955 a bit before the swivel bolsters got around to being produced . I think its a 13 inch LATAMA bayo and i need it for my set lol

I was watching an ols episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and the story was about a guy that was a writer that wanted to join a street gang called the Barons. He wanted to write their story from the inside and in the first part of it the guy who was played by a very young James Caan got into a little scuffle with one of the Barons and they both pulled knives Caan pulled what looked to be a gravity knife italian in horn. and the other guys looked like a 9 inch button open button close stiletto. Caan pulled the gravity super fast too. in fact the leader of the Barons said something about "you handle that pretty good without a button" then Caan holds the knife up and releases the blade back into its handle and i went to sleep after that so i dont know how much more knife action there was but what I saw was cool. seems like it was made in 1962 I am not sure as I said I was sleepy lol

Close enough, 1964 actually. There is another scene towards the end that has what might be an American auto. The Alfred Hitchcock Hour "Memo From Purgatory"...

Walter Koenig. He also played Pavel Chekov in the first Star Trek series.

Walter Koenig gets around a lot. He was on Babylon 5, too. He played a major schmuck.

Real Men with John Ritter... I saw what looked like a switch, and there's a character called 'Stiletto Man' in the credits.

Have you looked through Winter Steele yet? It fuzzes out when she pulls the knife on the bartender in ep. 4. I have a great deal of difficulty with Kinoma buffering video properly.

I'd upgrade my avatar to a different John K. character, but there doesn't seem to be a pic of The Sergeant from the Ren And Stimpy episode In The Army. George Liquor was hard enough to find....

Ya know I looked through a few episodes of Winter Steele and I saw a lot of guns, but no switch. I'll check out episode 4 though.

Edit: Just checked it out, fixed blade (prop of course).

I know that sucker's in there somewhere.... Cintra is quite proud of it (the gal who made the series... I emailed her. she said she thought it was in there, just can't recall where.) She opened an envelope at a 'literary deathmatch' with it in recent years.
