Reminds me of that time in the local knife shop when someone was looking at a Wenger and asking why there was an umbrella on the tang stamp. "Ummm... that's not an umbrella, it's a crossbow."

My thanks to whoever fixed the link.
I was sent off to a boarding school when I was in the 9th grade (long story there) . . .pretty much like the school in the movie "Dead Poet's Society". Anyway, some genius there figured out a way to bend up a paper clip in such a way that it would fling sewing needle from a six inch ruler a few feet . There was enough force to make it stick in the skin, but not enough to really penetrate.
If this SAK "mod" was available or even just this video, there would have been mayhem.The school had both a machine shop and wood shop. Someone would have figured out how to double the power somehow to create a near weapon.

Catapult?
Think about it . . .A catapult sort of action is a more comparable with the basic layout and principle of function of a pocket folder: Adapt/modify a switchblade action! Quick to deploy and quick to stow away.
That could be made to work and would be a terror in study hall.

Actually, it already has appeared in a movie. It was a spy spoof with Steve Carell as the Maxwell Smart character and Ann Hathaway as agent 99. Funny movie and it spoofed the gadgetry of the James Bond movies.
