Knife in the movies

[kolhoznik]

Does anyone here know which knife is used by Jean Reno Mission Impossible I during the scene where he and Cruise are breaking into the computer vault to steal some info? I saw it and liked the lines on it. Thanks.

Sorry to break it to you but I don't think you'll be getting one any time soon, it's completely CGI

Details here

I'm pretty sure that it wasn't completely CG. There's a scene where Jean Reno tries to use it against a fireman, and Tom Cruise's character stops him... I'm convinced that it was a real tangible object, at least, at some points in the film. The closest that I know of, looks wise, might be the SWAT ARC

Though I know this isn't exact, it is perhaps similar. I wonder if that knife wasn't just a mockup, made for the film.

Here's a picture of it. The part where the knife is falling is CG, but the knife itself i heard is just a prop and not a production knife.

Aha!

Presumably a prop knife that's deliberately blunt?

Looks like an old Soviet bloc out the front auto.

Looks like it's really weak look at all that empty steel right above the handle, maybe it's a break away blade.
