Does anyone know of a knife that looks like the one in the movie, "Dune"?
I like the one Gurney has, and the one that the Fremen use. Know where I can find some like them?

So if you havent seen the movie, one is dagger sized with a scimitar blade, one the same size with a recurve blade.
 
If I remember, the Fremen knife you are talking about is the Crysknife that was ground from the tooth of a sandworm. I haven't seen a sandworm in years but I'm sure if you did some research, collected some images, and presented your info to some of the bladesmiths found here in the forum, you could probably get a reasonable facsimile in steel. Look for makers whose work somewhat resembles what your looking for.

Something else to consider (that I recently came to realize) is the fact that it's a rarity to come across a knife design that is totally and completely original and unlike any knife that exists. The "Dune" knives definitely had an exotic look with lots of Indo-Persian and Indo-Malay influence. I always thought that the crysknife looked alot like a short Moro talibon or pira. I've also seen some Indo-Persian khanjar that have similar features. Try some research there as well. Who knows, you just might find something that has better appeal.
