MOVIE KNIVES... Can you name them all ???

[Sam Wilson]

Ok, I'm done.

Ok, I'm done.

No worries. Another thread with discussion of knives, movies, their history, and production would be one I read thoroughly.

Back to movie knives, In Parker there is a fully serrated SS Police.

 

[Sam Wilson]

Not a problem. At least this served to remind me why I stay out of General. I'll probably be good for another couple months, till I'm tempted back again.

There was a hollow handled saw backed knife used in Rambo 3, it was a hibben though and only appears in one scene. The one in the minefield approaching the russian base. It was replaced by the Hibben knife seen in the rest of the film. So technically there is an extra Rambo knife used in the movies that isn't commonly seen.

It can be seen here

and here

and here are the prototypes

the kershaw whirlwind was in the movie The Departed, Matt Damon uses it to stab someone he believes is following him in a dark alley

Good call, Dave. That was the Hibben Rescue Knife. Very awesome hollow handle knife, with finger grooves. Apparently Stallone went back and forth on the bowie and the HH knife. They shot the minefield scene with the HH knife, then Stallone decided to go with the big bowie. I'm sure that was a fun conversation.

There was also an attachment that was shaped kind of like a batarang, and it snapped into the fuller or slot milled on the blade of the big RIII bowie. It didn't get used on the film, though. So it was part of the movie knife, but not used in the movie. Does that mean it's not a "movie knife" in the context used by many? I'll leave that to the experts...

The benchmade contego is in the Netflix original series Daredevil. Great series, highly highly recommend it, a must watch.

Jody Samson's blades have been in numerous movies, only a few of which I can name:

Red Dawn (the first....and only good....one)
Conan movies
Blade
Blind Fury
First Knight
Streets of Fire
Batman & Robin
Mask of Zorro

And a bunch more I'm sure.....

You know what 'ol Jack Burton always says at a time like this?

Gerber Benchmark Tac-II (Blackie Collins design)

 

[red mag]

I may not know all, but I think I can contribute to the list.

Frank Centofante LinerLock in "Cobra", you know, the one Sly used.
There is a least one EK knife in the last scene of "Hamburger Hill".
CRK Pacific in "Mad Max Fury Road"

I just learned from another thread here that Sean Penn's character in the movie The Gunman uses a CRKT M21-14SF

This is I presume the rejected Lile Rambo III prototype, of which, before the discussion above, I had not the slightest clue even existed...:

It is interesting to see that the initial requirement appears to have been to move away from a hollow handle right from the start... Even more interesting is that the slotted blade "theme" is already present, even before the reversal to a Gil Hibben hollow handle, which was then reversed again to the one we know today.

Given the amount of control Stallone had over that movie, and now seeing the very early Lile project, I would say the basic notion of a slotted blade was probably his...

The Gill Hibben hollow handle is an incredibly beautiful knife, far superior to the final Rambo III choice imho... It retained a "ghost" of the slot idea with a big fuller... :

A knife that is a favourite of mine, almost iconic and very distinctive in shape, has seen surprisingly little screen time despite having been around for over twenty years now...: The Spyderco Civilian: So far the only movie appearance I can remember of it is in the fairly good 2004 version of "The Punisher", wielded by a bad guy and quite visually effective in the scene...

Apparently it made another appearance, again in the hands of a bad guy, in "Bad Boys"... The Police Model is seen much more often.

A movie knife that is always much underrated is the Buck "General": It is the main recurring knife of not only Jason Vorhees in much of the Friday the 13th series (often displayed hugely prominently in several of the movie posters), but also just about the only knife used in the entire "Scream" series... If that wasn't enough, it is also the title knife of the movie "Jagged Edge", getting a lot of close-up screen time (the very last shot of the movie is a panned close-up of the knife...: Hard to beat!), the "jagged edge" of the title being a strange and rather dubious modification of adding serrations to the General's deeply curved clip...

Here in this DVD box poster the serrations are added to the main edge as well, but I think in the movie they were inside the clip only...:

Practical-minded Jason obviously prefers the plain jane version...:

The Grizzly Maze. Really crappy movie but the Buck 119 is very cool.

 

[VermontEdge]

Let's not forgot the SOG inspired knife in Mission Impossible or the Tom Brown Tracker knife from The Hunted!

 

[TRMS]

Thanks Sam... you got it 100%

 

[oldtymer]

In the movie "Windtalkers" Ka-Bar used by Nicholas Cage in several scenes, also a very nice Stag handled Bowie (maker unknown) carried by one of the code talkers

 

[jdm61]

I don't believe there were any Lile knives in Rambo III.


Randall Made Knives
Exposure (1991)

Also Joe Kious in that movie.

The Spyderco Civilian makes a very prominent appearance in the book "Hannibal" (Lechter buys another one at a gun show in Virginia after he returns to the US to replace the one he had to leave in Italy) but I am not sure if ti made it to 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..

I did just that! Interesting site...talks about knives and swords in entertainment, sells knives in its retail store, things like that.

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.

I cant say that I have ever encountered that notion and I feel like I'm in the "knife world," and I don't see anybody else posting knives that never appeared in an actual production. But the OP seems to agree with it.

Its always helpful to make clear ones intent/parameters when opening a discussion. Otherwise people will try to figure out what you are talking about. And discuss that, instead of your intended topic. :thumbup:

I am out of knives....every one I think of, someone has long since beaten me to it.

I have wondered for years who made the large folder with the very curved almost Persian style bald that Jeroen Krabbe carried in the Richard Gere/Kim Basinger movie "No Mercy"?
