This is a quick screen shot of the knives used in the new movie "Drive."

Anyone recognize the custom makers ??

The top switchblade looks like a production Frank Beltrame stiletto. The more ornate ones I have no idea :confused:
 
Honestly, apart from the switchblade these don't look like knives criminal would use.

It would be a more realistic movie if they all used MTechs or something.
 
Saw the movie. Of the knives in the box, only the razor was used (in a very good and compelling scene.) The others weren't used or touched. The screen shot is from right after the razor is used and cleaned with dishwashing liquid in a kitchen sink and put in the display case.

Thought the movie was very good. It is mis-marketed as a generic action/car chase flick, but is much better.

The movie was great, but a little too stylized. Very well done kill scenes but the ones that mattered most happened off camera. That's my only complaint. I drooled on the knives, too.
 
That straight razor looks familiar but i cant quite place the make. The others i have no clue. Might just be good looking prop knives?

I think the stiletto is used also, actually

edit: btw what kind of lock is on the third one down in the right column?

It's a lever lock, ala Mikov or Herbertus or Leverletto. Looks like a Mikov, but I'm not an expert.

I can't ID the bottom knife or the lefthand one, but they're clearly high-end customs and not props.

I guess maybe you are right. At the end? I couldn't identify it and didn't think back to the box..
 
Enjoyed the movie, it was well thought out and went at a good pace. Character development was awesome. Ended up getting the soundtrack. Of course the knife box caught my attention, but also don't have a clue as to the makers. Keen take on the use of knives- up close and personal.
 
Did a google search and came up with a post identifying the straight razor as a Dubl Duck Goldedge.

In my opinion, these knives were perfect for the character.

I was pretty happy that the armorer/prop master did their research and came up with this little collection. Really great job!

(By the way, two of these knives were used in the film, not just one).

The character uses a third knife in another scene, but it is not one from this collection.
 
I loved the movie very well done, marketed in the wrong way but great. I think the knife on the left might be a Greg Lightfoot custom .

I can see where you get Greg Lightfoot. But I've never seen a Greg Lightfoot with materials like that. Also, and it's difficult to see, but if you look at the screen shot at the inscription, it looks like just letters written on one line. GL has his trademark shark logo that wouldn't look that way and would stand out. Don Maxwell, however, often simply inscribes "Maxwell" which looks just like it does on the blade in the screenshot. I still stand by Maxwell.
