Hi all,

I'm not referring to the Brad Pitt's Bowie but there was a much smaller knife shown near the end when the 2 "basterds" plan to kill the guards outside Hitler's cinema booth. It was only briefly visible but thanks to freezing the image of the disc I could make a screengrab. I know that the blade shape is quite generic, but together with the bit of the handle that can be seen perhaps someone can ID it?

I don't really know much about these kind of knives, but the blade looks identical to the Buck 110. could they have swapped the scales? I guess it's a common blade shape though.

I was also thinking that maybe it was just a rescaled 110, but who knows, perhaps it's an off-the-shelf knife.
 
That big headed pivot screw is reminiscent of some of the folders sold by Normark.
 
The handle looks like there's no ergonomic shape to it at all, from the bit you can see. Looks like the prop department might've just slapped some random bit of trim wood or something to what blade they had. Of course, the knives back then were often simpler, so who knows. I'm certainly no pro
