Tom sez: "Another strange sound is a switchblade knife bowing the 
strings on the intro."

This would involve either bowing perpendicular to the strings, or 
vibrating the switchblade parallel to them, depending on the effect 
you want.  It's a more theatrical subset of playing with a slide, 
while also using the slide generate the sound.
