Best Knife Movie?

The Edge also is a good validation to the old saying that your survival knife is the one you have one you....

Jeeze you guys are Geeks. But I am worse, I write movies and I'm a knife nut. Ravenous! Absolutely the best knife movie in the last decade. Falls apart at the end, becomes too vampire like, but a great movie. A nice selection of daggers, bowies and swords, very good choreography, a very good story, and directed by a woman. I think about the end of Aapocalypse Now a lot, they have some very strange Cambodian knives in that and they have a lot of symbolic meaning. Deliverance also comes to mind. Other than that, the movie that I am writing will be basically two hours of knife fighting instruction, then a fight. Maybe someday it will be made. What about Knife books? The Most Dangerous Game is mine.
 
Hey, what about Conan the Barbarian. Jody Sampson really outdid himself here. Great selection of custom swords and knives.

 
Not exactly a knife movie but the old series Combat with Vic Morrow has a good bit of knife combat. There is some knife combat every 2 - 3 shows in one fashion or another. Someone mentioned Steven Segal before. I used to be a fan until I met him here at Fort Bragg. He was pretty arogant and really turned us off.

I remember a really cool knife fight from an old western movie. I saw it as a kid but for the life of me can't put my finger on the name of it

It has a scene in a bar where an Native american (Name was "Joe" I believe)and a cowboy square of for a realistic knife fight. They both take the ends of one of "Belle Star's" Sash and proceed to slice and dice each other. Ends with the Native American getting a Bowie to the hilt in his thigh. Still sends chills up my spine when I remember that scene.
If anybody remembers the name pass it on!
 
Hi knife-crazy folks!

My choice is "Exposure".
When i saw this movie i begin be a real knife fan.

If you want to see a movie with some great sword play check out Akira Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI. It is the basis of the western movie THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. It just replaces Samurai with cowboys and a lot of the lines in the cowboy movie are in the Samurai movie . It is a B&W movie and I have not seen it dubbed in English yet. If you like good sword play this is the movie to see.

It's easier to get forgiveness than permission.


 
The first movie I thought of(I'm suprised it hasn't been mentioned yet)is "First Blood".Rambo did some hardcore stuff with that survival knife.The first time and only time I ever saw anybody use the stuff they pack in those handles.He gave him self stiches for gawd sake.Thats a tuff mofo.That movie kix ass.

The Edge was pretty sweet too.A great survival movie.I wonder why they didn't think about hiding in a tree and jumping on that Kodiaks back and put that blade in his eyeball!LOL...thats what I would have done...but then again I grew up in the 'Hood.That bear was nothin' you should have seen where I went school.We used to have drive-by drills.Now,thats hardcore.I would have kicked that bears ass and made myself a nice hat.LOL
 
My choice would have to be the Director's cut of "The Bridges of Madison County". Clint Eastwood's use of the switchblade taped to his calf to fend off the hysterical attack of Meryl Streep (after she'd boiled his beloved bunny) is one of the best knife scenes ever caught on film. When he stabbed her in the thigh when she was beating the stuffing outta him with an MP-40 was truly astounding!

Do you happen to have that picture, Phil?

I haven't seen this film since I was in the 3rd grade, but I seem to remember that "Oklahoma" used a combination telescope/out-the-front blade.
Oh, the many uses for a gag like that!!! Any custom makers wanna try making one of those?

Mike already mentioned "GI Jane", but I was somewhat surprised that after having read so many knife articles proclaiming so many gazillions of knives to be "official issue for US Navy SEALs" that the only fixed blades I saw were la-dee-dah Ka-Bars.

All happy to be (not quite) here,
I remain,
