Reference Book ??? Switchblades
Looking for a recommendation, is there one text that does a fair job covering most popular builders? Or must I get seperate references for each Italian-German-USA? Thanks for your help.
Re: Reference Book ??? Switchblades
I am not aware of any single, comprehensive source,

Re: Reference Book ??? Switchblades
The most comprehensive book I can think of is Switchblades Exposed. by Doug Growitz and Bob Chopra. Its primary focus is on the different switchblade mechanisms. The book also cites examples of each mechanism.

Let's get a list going here! We already have "Switchblades Exposed" --
I will add "Antique American Switchblades" by Mark Erickson;
also "The Latama Legend" and "Frosolone Switchblades".
This brings us up to 4 books -- what's next..........?

"Art of the Switchblade" by Neal Punchard and Dan Fuller is a great coffee table book with excellent historical references. I believe Neal also authored a book on Boker published last year. I meant to buy a copy, but missed it.

I have a copy of the Boker book that I got from Neal at the Mystic show back in 2019, I sat and talked to him for over a hour about our hobby, very nice guy.
