Boris "Blades" Amichini was a barber from Hoboken, New Jersey.
Biography[]
Boris Amichini was born in Hoboken, New Jersey to a family of Italian immigrants. His father named him after the Russian anarchist Boris Yelensky, and Amichini himself was said to have become an anarchist and a violent man. He opened his own barber shop, "Boris Amichini's", on Observer Highway and Marshall Street, but, due to Amichini's unhinged nature, he had very few patrons, save for Stracci crime family enforcers, who occasionally had Amichini eliminate troublesome individuals with his straight edge. In 1946, the Corleone crime family associate Aldo Trapani extorted Amichini and forced him to give the Corleones a cut of his business.
