Switchblade Canes
A few weeks back I was watching an old b&w movie and the ringleader in this cops & robbers 50's era flic's weapon was a switchblade cane, it had a 10 or 12 inch blade coming straight out the bottom!
Cool!, which made me wonder, did they make this just for this movie? or did these canes really exist?
I know they had gun canes, in fact I new someone 25 years ago that had one in .410 ga. it was fun to shoot. Also a few years back they had airgun canes. But I've never seen or heard of switchblade canes, any historians out there that can shed any light on this?

I want to thank you all for help.
I did finally get to t.s.f. and found 1 thread, and while they did have a link to a couple of pics they did not come up.
Thanks again
