Nice find, and good catch on the fork... maybe it's the new GEC Soda and Sausage. 🤠:thumbsup:

I don't remember if we posted Tarentino's Once upon a time in Hollywood? A curious pattern...

It has been posted before (by me 😁) but no worries. :thumbsup: It is a curious pattern, a bit French-looking, I thought, or maybe Italian? I was able to find what I think might be the same knife used for the movie, an inexpensive reproduction knife made by (or rather, for) a company that specializes in items for historic reenactors. Here’s my original post (which includes the info I found at the time):

I just finished watching Quentin Tarantino's latest film Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood and thought I'd share this screenshot featuring a traditional-looking folder that was used to slash a tire.

Here's a closer look at the knife (zoomed in from the same screenshot).

The knife wasn't familiar to me — I thought it looked vaguely Italian, or perhaps a bit like a Laguiole, but not quite — but a quick Google search ("folding knife large brass bolsters") turned up the photo below, which looks pretty darn close. It's a cheap knife made by (or for) a company called Smiling Fox Forge, and is described as a "bone handle pocket knife" that is "a reproduction of an 18th century folding knife."

And here are some additional photos from the company’s website, which must have been updated since the time I looked before.

Sheesh - I just spent 10 minutes getting pictures online and composing a post to explain exactly that, and you beat me to it 🤣🤣🤣

Great investigations too!

No worries, Alain. :thumbsup: Hey, at least it wasn’t the EO Jack from Titanic, or the Schrade Scrimshaw from Silence of the Lambs. 😉🤣
 
This was mentioned early on in the thread.
Here's a screen shot of Indiana Jone's pocket knife.

I read somewhere that it was Harrison Ford's personal pocket knife.
I'm a big fan of the Raiders movies and found a reasonable facsimile. Although the stag on his knife is nicer :)

Started watching X-Files season 1 and towards the end of the season in episode "darkness falls" Scully uses Buck 110 to cut down cocoon -like thing form a tree. Sorry no pictures this time though. :/

Loving the 90's vibe though. :)
