Anyone know the the make of the switch blade in Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning?

You see it pretty good on the table at the nightclub and then they use it in the bridge fight scene? I want one, who makes it?

Generic "Italian" switchblades.

I have to disagree with dano. I don't believe that they are either generic or from any common Italian maker. I've seen a lot of stilettos, but I've never seen any like them (pics below).

The knives have very distinct and unusual characteristics- flat-top top bolsters, flat-sided bottom bolsters, no safeties, the guards are unusually long, and the configuration of the pins holding the handle scales on is odd.

There are stilettos with flat-sided bottom bolsters (AGA Campolin Maltese Cross stiletto), but the movie knives aren't those.

I'd say the knives are either full customs made for the movie, or the propmakers took existing knives and heavily modified them for the movie.

I received a knife very similar to those from an uncle of mine. He bought it in Japan in the 60's.

Those have a vintage Japanese switchblade vibe.

My knife my was confiscated by a State Trooper back 1986. So no picture...
