Joker's Knives in Dark Knight

Muaddib1116 · Jan 22, 2011

I'm guessing they're probably just prop one-offs, but does anyone know anything about the knives the Joker uses in the movie The Dark Knight? I'm not really craving one, I'm just curious.

well, his switchblade is very, very reminiscent of the Cupid OTF. His is very slightly different but essentially the same knife. Not sure about the others.

There are a couple older threads on it. Do a search for "Dark Knight".

If it is a real Paragon ATKO-10, one of the edges were ground down to make it more of a single edge/drop point.

The "Cupid" that the Joker uses is a cheaper version of the knife and was made by S&W. It has a lock for the blade at the very base of the handle. The Joker also used a Microtech Troodon with a purple handle in the "Why so serious" scene. This is when he sticks the blade of the knife into Gambol's mouth. In the scene where The Joker's knives are being laid out after he has been arrested you can see a Microtech Ultratech and a potato peeler. That's about all I've been able to make out.

Cool, thanks for the info guys. Sorry I didn't do a search first.

Nothing says "complete nutter" like a potato peeler. Look at the expression on the cop's face.

Yeah, when we watched it the first time in the theaters, we loved that bit. Subtle indication of psychotic.

At a local surplus store i've seen "Joker" brand knives, that seem to be replicas of the ones from the movie. I'll look closer at them next time i'm in there.

Hey!, you never know when you'll meet up with a potato that needs peeling.
