I realize it's weird asking for identification of a knife shown in a movie completely dedicated to guns, but it caught my eye. It was shown only briefly, but it's a fixed blade roughly 5.5/7" blade-wise, with serrations on the spine. Double hilt. Clip point (false edge, and sharply angled-- not a concave slope from the spine to the blade point).

Shown very briefly; 1:35-1:37.

Anyone up for the challenge?
 
Doesn't look like it has a tanto tip on it. It's a bit blurry, and hard to distinguish, but it looks like a normal edge to me.

EDIT: Checked the DVD. It's a normal edge with a clip point, not a tanto.
 
well here are some things that might make it stand out
satin, beadblast or mirrior blade
4 very large sawteeth on the spine
black handle
 
Not quite. It looked like it had a more prominent double hilt, the false edge wasn't concave, and it had six big saw teeth on the spine.
 
I know of a similarly bladed knife, maybe it is this one:

Look ate the serrations. What I don't know really is the line hook, can't see if it is present on the movie knife.

He said he doesn't know (as I said, he's not a knife knut) but he's going to try and track down the armorer for that film and see if he remembers (usually the prop people get the knives, but not in this case)

OT: he said that Monica Bellucci is even BETTER looking in person than she is in photos! :D (usually it's the other way around - eg. Mira Sorvino :( )

Man, that's close. But the blade looks short compared to the one in the film; that thing looks like it covers about 4", while the movie blade was easily 6" or over. The saw teeth were more protruding and jagged, too.

Thanks a lot. It looks like a hell of a blade. I appreciate the extra mile you're going.

(As for Monica Bellucci, why am I not surprised? She's a fox.)
 
It is nice, and it's close, but still no cigar. If you look closely, there's no belly in the blade featured in the film. It's just a smooth, plain edge. In addition, it's a clip point. The one in the link has a false-edged drop point. What's more, the teeth on the spine indicates six ridges, whereas the knife in the link has much more than that. Also, the double hilt in the movie appears to be either part of the handle or a separate piece altogether; the other has an in-blade skeletal hilt.
