Landman Cleaver Knife?

[jameshowardbsa]

Does anyone know what knife Billy Bob Thornton uses in the Landman series? I know it's a cleaver of some kind. Here is the best photo I can get.

It sort of looks like the Gerber FlatIron, but if you zoom in on the video, his knife has two steel liners, the gerber only has one and then a frame lock on the other side....

jameshowardbsa is correct, the knife in the scene has two liners. And the Gerber Flatiron has a large choil, which the knife in the scene doesn't appear to have.

I believe the knife is a Duluth Cleaver (below). The knife in the scene has a narrow tip-up pocket clip, and when I watched the scene on a movie channel I could see a reddish ring around the pivot (screenshot below).

The Duluth cleaver is a liner lock with two liners.

The bad news is that if this is the case, it is just a cheap version made in china. I see this exact one sold under several different names. I thought maybe he had a custom or something.

I saw similar versions when I was researching the Duluth knife, but I considered the possibility that they might be knock-offs.

The Duluth website doesn't say where the knives are made, just that they are "imported".

As far as China, it's not unusual for a US company to have knives made there, and then the factory makes more under the table and sells them as knock-offs.

I have no idea what the quality level of the Duluth knives is, but from what I read on this forum, there are quality knives made in China.

I also considered the possibility that since Duluth makes "work clothes", and the show is about oil rig workers and blue-collar types, that Duluth might be supplying the show with clothes (product placement), and perhaps that included one of their knives, carried by the main character, and used prominently in one of the most talked about scenes of the show (cutting off his own finger).

I know of one other scene in the show featuring the knife (episode 3), where Tommy cut the rattle off a rattlesnake, but they didn't provide a close-up of the knife. Perhaps in other episodes there will be better shots of it. As for myself, I originally watched the first two episodes, but I didn't take to the show and then stopped watching.
