There was discussion going on in the CRK forum about a Sebenza on the TV show 24. It showed this case of "torture tools" that was being used by a terrorist. That one next to the Sebbie looks like a Busse Bad Apple...not sure though. Anyone??

The part where the talon hole would be is under that flap, so it makes it hard to tell for sure...
 
They look close, but I don't think they are. I don't think that there were but a few made, so for them to have two, seems unlikely.

The inserts look red in that pic. Anyone know if they ever made any with red inserts? Bad Mojo doesn't show any with red.

I don't think those are red inserts, they look to have a hollow handle and that is the red liner of the case showing through.

I agree with SmartDucci ;)

I didn't think the inserts looked correct and then upon further examination it looks like they are skeleton handles. I think we are seeing the material under the knives through the handles

:D:D

Having some family with background in the Media, I can tell you that all of those are created... 'forged' if you will, from lesser materials and, of course, to look sharp and be DULL FOR each specific movie or series as needed and after, will wind up in a prop warehouse (FOX's), unless they were found there already. Prop warehouses are HUGE, and fun to roam through. It really looks as if this props specialist who made these for 24 might actually own one or borrowed one from a buddy to create a similar looking blade for use since it would be too hard for the majority to instantly recognize it's manufacturer. THESE would definitely be fakes/copies.

:o Heh-heh... Yeah, LOL, it's probably a real Stanley hammer... :o I didn't see that sitting there. U got me! :D
I should say that this ain't a rule, but does apply to items handled as weapons or tools of torture, so if it was used in the scene to do 'harm', then most likely it would be a dupe, made of something other than heavy metal. I have a CA license plate used in a TV series with an autograph on it... I figured that it would be a real tag, you know an expired tag from a wrecked car, whatever right? It was PLASTIC, LOL FAKE tag, the 'stickers' were a part of it. It still cracks me up that a real expired tag from a wreck would've been cheaper than to produce a plasic look alike. LOL :D

...On a prodution lot, if you see a pistol without a tag (security aside) sitting on a table, it is supposed to be not real. Same with a fire extinguisher, whatever. This lot that I was on used red tags marks simply: "REAL" Funny, huh? ... Oh, and somebody's initials.
 
To my trained eye, those are not Bad Apples. They are similar, but not the same. The spine side of the handle is too straight and the cut outs in the handle are not the right shape. Close but no cigar.
 
the taper at the butt looks a little different, the ba is even on both sides, the tv one is tapered more on one side. plus its either missing the talon hole at the guard or has a finger groove, which the ba lacks.
 
Agreed. Close but no cigar. I see what porkgunner means about the spine side of the handle, and it does look now like that is the lining of the case and not an insert...I was hoping for a Busse TV sighting, dangit!
 
Look carefully, the bottoms of those handles do not appear to be symmetrical.
And I could be wrong, but I don't think that's a real Seb either.
A Bradley, or a cheap knockoff more likely.
