I know the knife from this movie that the main bad guy uses is a switchblade knife, hence his name Switchblade Sam. I was wondering if anyone can identify the exact model switchblade the knife is. I’m pretty sure it’s a Classic Switchblade Swinguard, but I wanted to see what everyone else thinks. Took some of the best screenshots from the movie of the knife that I could.

I'm not sure. It looks like a basic swing guard. I had one just like it that I gave to my little brother.
 
Looks like a Rizzuto brand switchblade.

The Rizzuto's were/are junk (vey cheap, low quality materials and construction). But due to childhood nostalgia and their frequent appearances in movies and tv shows they have a somewhat cult-like following and some models are highly sought after by such collectors. The fact that not many survived (due to being junk) can make them a bit rare and also increases collector interest.

If I recall correctly the original Rizzuto's were made in Japan though they were falsely stamped to give the impression they were made in Italy.

Yeah, it's a Rizzuto or one of the Bell Foundry Rizzuto style copies from Korea.

Edit - Yeah, the handle looks closer to the Korean versions.
