Blade related Cinematic Moments

Lo, there do I see my father. Lo, there do I see my mother, and my sisters, and my brothers. Lo, there do I see the line of my people, Back to the beginning Lo, they do call to me. They bid me take my place among them, In the halls of Valhalla, Where the brave may live forever!

In the classic 1972 movie Jeremiah Johnson the main character was played by American actor Robert Redford.
Besides his .50 caliber Hawken rifle he also carried & used a Western Bowie knife.




Below is an actual prop knife used in the movie "Jeremiah Johnson" by Robert Redford.
The knife features a 14 3/4" overall length plus leather sheath & is made from painted rubber which was aged by the studio for the production.

A while ago i made my own version of the Jeremiah Johnson sheath to go with my 1964 Western Bowie:

In the 1981 movie "Eye of the Needle" actor Donald Sutherland plays the German spy (code named "Nadel") who regularly uses a rather large spike-like stiletto on his victims.
It seems that such stilletto's really existed and were made by the Italian manufacturer Due Buoi, and that they were carried & used by agents of both Italian and German intelligence services during World War 2.

Not cinema, but a great story nonetheless, and a perfect example of why country music ain't what it used to be. This is just a clip, but the full episode is worth watching, and honestly I suggest the entire series (for that matter everything Mike Judge touches).
