traditional knives in movies

[colekmiller11]

in The River Wild, the kid is gifted an SAK and then they use it to escape later from their bonds later.

 

[Woodrow F Call]

Then there's the scene in The Great Escape with James Garner as the Scrounger who pulls out an SAK within 10 minutes of bein' put in a POW camp.

Great flick.

In the French Conection 2, head French bad guy Charnier, is opening and eating oysters with an Opinel.

An Opinel fillet knife is used to frame Ashley Judd for killing her husband in a murder mystery called Double Jeopardy.

I believe it was in the "Shawshank Redemption", the old guy that gets released after a life sentence carves his name in a beam with an old stockman right before he hangs himself.

It was a Barlow with half stops and great snap! "Brooks was here"

It was a Barlow with half stops and great snap! "Brooks was here"

Watched that movie last night and was wondering the snap on that knife was killer.

Not sure if this was posted, but a weird appearance and use of a traditional knife in a movie. Looks like a Schrade Wildlife series.
In the Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Lecter picks this knife off one of the guards.

Went to see "OZ the Great and Powerful" last night with my wife and daughter.
Very good movie. We all enjoyed it thoroughly. But on to the knife part.

In the movie, Oz uses a pocket knife several times. Looks like an old style camper model with fork and spoon.

To my eyes, it looked something like this:

Not a movie but a British mini series called Jekyll. Sort of a modern dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde...
Anyways "Hyde" is confronted by a punk in an alley, armed with an Opinel. It's in one of the first episodes.

In Second Hand Lions there's a section where one of the brothers takes on a bunch of teenagers and teaches them to knife fight. Wasn't paying close enough attention to tell what knives. I think there were a bunch of switchblades and I don't know what makes a switchblade traditional or not.

If I remember. I took some photos of a picture of a Indian at a restaurant in town with a knife on a lanyard. I think he was a scout for the Army. It'll be interesting to see what folks surmise it is.

I bought the first two seasons of Duck Dynasty, almost gotten through the first season. I've seen Phil using some Old Hickory knives, or just old butcher knives. I know it is scripted, but I love this show. I don't have cable, and have to wait for episodes to show up online or Youtube.

I know I've seen some Victorinox kitchen knives used by the sons.

I'm surprised they don't have a knife deal with Buck or Case .

Was watching Seraphim Falls last night

I had one of those when I was a kid. It was a Christmas present.

It’s a practical eating tool. The hobo knife is only fit for munchkins.

Some type of stag handled fixed blade in Saving Private Ryan

M1 bayonet that Tom Hanks uses in the D-Day scene


Hitler Youth knife taken off a German soldier's body

Finished season 2 of Duck Dynasty, and saw a wide/stubby custom fixed blade that Jase used to cut parts for duck calls. Also, Jase and Si stopped by a pawn shop looking for a replacement sword, and Si went through some swords etc, until he got to a cane sword.

Just finished Once Upon A Time In The West. Some random shots of old fixed blades in passing. Bread knife, butcher knife, etc...

Cheyenne pulls out a boot knife to cut Harmonica's bonds at one point, and to threaten somebody.

Then, at the end Harmonica is waiting for the final showdown, cutting at a branch with an old lock back folder.

"What's he waiting for out there? What's he doing?"

"He's whittlin' on a piece of wood. I've got a feeling when he stops whittlin'... Somethin's gonna happen."

Swiss Army knife in True Romance.

I watched The Shawshank Redemption again last night and spotted 3 appearances by traditionals. Apart from the one already mentioned, after his release Red looks in a store window which has several traditionals (as well as a compass), and before leaving the halfway house, he carves his name.

I've been watching a series called Ripper Street. Set in the Whitechapel section of London in the 1880's shortly after the run of Jack the ripper. It's a cop show who done it kind of thing, pretty good. One of the main characters, detective sergeant Drake, played by actor Jerome Flynn uses a large single blade jack of some sort pretty regular. Jimmies a door lock, cuts a bullet out of a wall, and so on. Looks like either a daddy barlow kind of knife or large English jack, which would make sense.
