traditional knives in movies

[unclekurty]

So Ends Our Night, a 1941 drama about European refugees escaping the Nazis starring Fredric March, EricVon Stroheim and a young Glen Ford was just on TCM and I saw this knife. A SAK? The gestapo guy is into coon fingering this knife.

Seen in the Sardinian episode of Stanley Tucci's show, Searching for Italy.

I really need to get me a resolza.

I watched the original Wicker Man last night. Only five bucks to buy it.
Willow uses a nice skian dhu to cut off the sergeant's costume for the sacrifice.

Edward Woodward was no slouch as an actor. No match for Britt Ekland, of course..

This one has been mentioned in the thread before, way back in 2013 (nearly 10 years ago!), but there weren't any screenshots, so here we go.

In Cast Away, Tom Hanks' character has a SAK attached to his keys. He uses it early in the movie to open a package...

...and to unwrap a gift from his girlfriend.

Before boarding his flight, he leaves the keys (and knife) with his girlfriend.

Near the end of the film, the keys are returned to him, and he examines the knife, which, of course, would have been nice to have when he was stranded on an island.

There isn't much to go on if you wanted to identify the model (and I'm not very good at that when it comes to SAKs anyways). I suppose it's notable that it's a full-size SAK (91mm?), as opposed to a Classic which you might expect to find attached to keys. It appears to have two layers, and the only tools you really get a look at are the main blade and the corkscrew.

Qui m'aime me suive! (Just the three of us) Leaving for a retirement home a man leaves his knife (which he calls a Laguiole but is not) to an old friend.

Michael Caine thinks knives are tools of the trade: murder & revenge. Seen here with cheapo Italian or German ? Flick-knife in 'Get Carter' GB 1971

Jokr, that last series of pictures is from an episode of the original MacGyver.

I was watching Our Vines Have Tender Grapes, and in it a young Margaret O’Brien gives her father, played by Edward G Robinson, what appears to be a cigar jack as a Christmas present. Sorry, no screenshot. Likewise for the knife Bogart uses to cut open the wrapping on the Maltese Falcon, that is so fast that it’s hard to pin down the pattern.

That’s got to be a scout pattern.

1959, 125 rue Montmartre, looks like a paratrooper knife.

Well I for one wouldn't mess with him, not because he has a knife though. Any man that would wear that shirt is either crazy or exceptionally confident in themselves!

Is that a ring in the crossguard?

In fact it 's part of a clown outfit. I would not mess with the other guy either, Lino Ventura was a former professionnal wrestler before acting.

It looks like a combined knife/knuckleduster? Lino V was a very cool presence, usually.

Here's a better picture. It's a ring lock.
