Did Hattori do the SOG Daggert in the kill Bill series? That is a classic.

And let's not forget our own Robbie Roberson with the Revolver in the Grey. There is actually a ton of SOGs in movies listed here:

Sheesh man, you love to argue. The knife was designed and made for the movie by Lile, at Stallone's request, and even made it to Stallone for appoval. Then for whatever reasons, they went a different direction. So it was definitely not just some random knife that "could have been" in a movie but wasn't, it was made expressly for that purpose by the man who had done 2 consecutive movie knives for the same franchise. Clearly it is not a "movie knife" in the sense that it was featured in the film, but for most people that discuss this, it is close enough to include.

I don't think trms was wanting to have a semantics argument here, just a fun discussion of the knives closely linked to movies and their history. But maybe I'm mistaken, so there it is.

Sorry Sam. Marci is right. This isn't a semantics issue. It is one of fact. If it wasn't in the movie then it wasn't in the movie. Quite Simple really.
 
I'm not going to argue over splitting hairs, we're talking about "the letter of the law as opposed to the spirit" here. There are a number of situations exactly like this in the "movie knife" world, so I'll leave it at that. But plenty of people see it differently than you two, so it is what it is.

Oh yes. The Desert Dagger made 1991-2004 by Kinryu Seki, same factory that made most of
the Seki SOGS and are still making the Cold Steel SRK.
 
The Rambo movies, in order are: First Blood, Rambo-First Blood II, Rambo III & Rambo-The fight continues. There was never a movie called First Blood III.

One of the Inglorious Bastards knives, while made by a props person, was based on a WWII Messenger knuckle knife and probably a Scubapro "The One" knife -

I never saw another Scubapro like that very same one i used to own. I gave it to a lady that was going to
work at a turtle sanctuary in Costa Rica when she said she had no dive knife.
 
Busses daggers used by Hawk Eye in Avengers

If you open it to Shows, Daryl Dixon uses another Busses (Team Gemini) in The Walking Dead, and another bad guy used a Swamprat Rattle Hawk, and in the trunk of a car is a Busses Fusion Steel Heart, with a bunch of other knives.

Soooo...was the knife in the movie? If so it counts as a movie knife. If not it is not a movies knife (because it was not in the movie). Simple facts man. Accuse other people of arguing but blatantly stick by a fact that simply isn't true, by your own admission. No "semantics" issues. No "splitting hairs". Not in the movie? Doesn't belong on the list. Interesting fact? Sure. But not a movie knife.

You seem like you’re real good at arguing on the internet, so I’m not going to spend any more time on this, after I try and get you up to speed on this one last time. It’s the OP’s thread, so if he wants to play a little loose with the definition of movie knives, why in the world begrudge that?

I already made it clear that the Lile Rambo III was not used in a movie, I understand that completely. But if you look at the way the OP has used “movie knife” here, he referenced the Lile RIII knife himself. He also knows it wasn’t in the movie. But if you look at his site (The Real Movie Stars), you will see that he is interested not just in the movie knives themselves, but also the history, lore and backstory behind them and a lot of other props and weaponry from movies.

“Movie knives” is a whole category of knives, not strictly limited to knives that actually made it in to the movie. Aidy (the guy who runs TRMS) understands this, as do a whole bunch of people in the vast knife world beyond Bladeforums. When people in the “knife world” mention movie knives, it often refers to the knives and makers that were attached to different films, whether they made it onscreen or not. It’s sub-category unto itself.

As I mentioned, there are a number of examples of knives created expressly for movies that, for one reason or another never made it onscreen. But some of the pieces were awesome, and are loosely grouped in when people talk about movie knives. If you don’t get it, there’s nothing more I can do to help. Maybe you can give us industry-accepted definitions of “custom knife”, “mid-tech”, and “handmade” while you’re at it. They seem to be used kind of loosely, also.

Thanks,
Sam

You seem to be quite good at telling other people they like arguing :thumbup:

Who ever the OP is or is not doesn't really matter. It is not "his thread". It is posted here for discussion. If a knife was not in a movie IMO it is not a movie knife now matter how it is justified that a knife that was not in a movie is somehow a movie knife. There are tons of knives that were actually in movies. Real movie knives that saw screen time, maybe even won an Oscar.

There is no real arguing here. Either a knife was in a movie or it wasn't. Wishing, or thinking, ore even making a knife for a movie does not make it physically in the movie. The only way a knife can be in a movie is if it is in a movie.

Want to have discussion about knives that could have, should have or would have been in a movie? Fine. But if the knife is not in the movie it is not a movie knife (because we can't see it in the movie).

I'm not arguing with you, I'm trying to help you understand something you don't, at present.

But you may be right. You might be the perfect ambassador for this cause. Since you feel so strongly about it, why don’t you notify TOPS Knives about their Tracker. HERE is the page on their website where they describe the knife as being featured in “The Hunted.” Anyone that has seen the movie knows that Dave Beck’s was the knife used/featured in the movie, and the TOPS version was nowhere to be seen, at least when I have watched it.

Take your crusade to them, and see about their definition of “movie knife.” I would give more examples, but this one should keep you busy for awhile. Let us all know what they say.
 
Also, sorry to the OP for thread drift. I'll leave it alone now.

Crusade? Nope. Just pointing out where there is a clear discrepancy between fact and fantasy. Your crusade as it were. Was the knife in the movie? Simple one word answer. If no....then not a movie knife.

Want to post links about thought knives that had a possibility to be in a movie. Great. But if the knife isn't in the movie it isn't a movie knife. Different discussion all together. Interesting but not something we can post about and share a big screen experience.

"Remember when that one knife was in that movie"...."Yup, here is another example of a knife in a movie"

VS

"Remember when that knife was almost in that movie"..."nope, I didn't see it in the movie, but go on and tell me about it, sounds interesting. Still though, I didn't see it in the movie because it wasn't in the movie".....
