Big Trouble in Little China

Does anybody know the manufacturer of the fixed blade that Jack Burton (Kurt Russel) is carrying in this awesome Carpenter flick? Also, the 3 supernatural baddies are all carrying Khukris.

I think it was a Gerber.

Gerber TAC II

Actually the knife is a old Blackie Colins Design. I have one. Will post a pick later. Note that the blunt movie stunt prop actiually looks a lot different from the gerber.

It was a Gerber Tac II that was designed by Blackie Collins. Bear Mgc later handled the design, here's the Bear: http://www.bladematrix.tv/browseproducts/BC-795-BC795-Bear-MGC-Tac-II-knife.html .

The Gerber will set you back around a $100 on Ebay.

I thought it was an Ek?

I'm pretty sure it was one of these

Gerber TAC II

Yup, that was it. I had one. The knife was excellent, but that push-button-release sheath sucked.

I don't know about which knives they used, but it is a Great Movie.
