I like the chronlgical list myself. If the list is on an Excel spread sheet, you could view it either way.

While I like seeing the movies in alphabetical order, it would be interesting to see them also in a dated chronological list as Jackalope mentioned.
I am most certainly technically challenged, would it be difficult to display it both ways?

Jackalope ~ Great photos! --and thanks for all the titles! I'm adding everything that people post here.
If you happen to know the year of the movie and the type of knife, I'd like that info for the list also.

"Lots more" -- wonderful !! Please post it!

I will let somebody else enjoy the thrill of creating a chronological database..... I've done my bit.... LOL

Don’t know if anyone caught this, but in the third episode of the South Park “Game of Thrones/Black Friday” trilogy, when George RR Martin is giving the “wiener speech” at the ribbon cutting for the mall’s Black Friday opening, he unzips his pants and exposes himself when a guy goes up and says, “You’re not delaying Black Friday another minute you wiener loving bitch!” before cutting off his wiener with a Rizzuto! That’s right, if you look closely at the knife the guy is holding, it’s a pretty good cartoon illustration of a Rizzy! Has the guards and the bail! LOL! I’ll see if I can find the clip and post it here!

Also got a couple more movie switchblades for the list:

Prey (aka Alien Prey) (1978) 13” stiletto
Who’s That Girl? (1987) Rizzuto

A week ago or so, TCM ran all of the 'Thin Man' movies back-to-back..... I couldn't watch them all but saw as many as I could; and in the final film of the series ("Song of the Thin Man" -- 1947) a shady character called "Dancer" pulled out a button knife in the next-to-last scene, I believe.... it was only on-screen for a second but it looked like maybe a Schrade? Can anyone here find a photo of this scene and post it here? This incident occurs about ten minutes or so before the end of the film. I'd love to know if anyone here can identify this knife! Thanks guys!
