I had the same question about the teeny, tiny "VINTAGE EAGLE PENCIL CO KNIFE" Gravity Knife I snagged off Ebay for KillJoy. The bitty blade would snap clean off at a manicure, let alone a murder.
Pull-Ball knives have me very intrigued as a beginner knife crafter. The simple, simple clasp mech inherently prevents peek ( OK, except when the tip is diminished by wear, use, or damage), so making one up shouldn't be real complicated. I've found George's old Patent drawings of the clasp and liner details, but haven't started a CAD drawing yet. I do have an entire Italian Milano digitized, however, so the task is essentially making the aforementioned clasp and customized liners for one, and leaving off the button parts.
The lure of the project? A very, very slim switchblade (that takes a minimum of two hands to open, officer).
If the idea works, I have four identical 11" Italian Pearlex manuals to play with...to make Pull-Ball Conversions from.
