Knives have been co-starring in movies since the inception. Whether it is some version of the Excalibur, A bowie like the Irion Mistress, one of the many knives used by Tarzan, Rambo, Conan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Klingons, or any other hero or villain, we all have our favorites. So let’s put together our list of the 10 top movie knives of all time.
Here are my starting suggestions:
1) The Iron Mistress
2) Rambo's Lyle bowie from First Blood
3) The Randall 14 from Exposure
4) The Crain machete from Predator
5) The Busse Team Gemini from The Walking Dead
6) Spyderco police featured in Training Day and Eraser
7) The Cold Steel push dagger from Platoon
8) The Bowie from Crocodile Dundee
9) The Italian Switch Blade from the original Magnificent 7 (Blackboard Jungle or West Side Story)
10) One of the many Saks knives used in MacGyver
11) Tom Brown tracker from Hunted
12) Spyderco Harpy from Hannibal
13) Apache Bowie from Inglorious Bastards

20) ring dagger from Terminator II
21) Sog S1 from Terminator
22) Sog Desert Dagger from Kill Bill
23) Bastinelli Raptor L from Lucy
24) Sog Pentagon from Soldier
25) Mel Gibson’s sword from BraveHeart
26) Western W49 from Jeremiah Johnson
27) Billy Fish’s khukuri from The Man Who Would be King
28) Cold Steel’s Intruder Bowie from Flight of the Intruder
29) Lyttles big knife from The Edge

33) Marbles Ideal from Joe Kidd
34) Spyderco Endura from The Hunter
35) Busse Hawkeye dagger from The Avengers
36) Dragon katana from Highlander
37) Discerner sword from Excalibur
38) Combat Troodon from John Wick
39) Machete from Friday the 13th
40) sword of Achilles from Troy

48) Dragon Kris switch blade from 12 Angry Men (also West Side Story, Blackboard Jungle)
49) Hibbens Raptor from Mortal Combat
50) Big bowie from The Expendables
51) Johnny’s knife in the Outsiders
52) Turk’s knife in The Godfather
53).Hudson Bay knife from Revenant
54) Bowie’s knife from The Alamo (1960)
55) Sting sword from The Lord of the Rings
56) Needle sword from Game of Thrones
57) Blinky knife from Serenity and Firefly
58). Russel Green River knife from Lonesome Dove
59) Buck 184 from Band of the Hand
60) Scalpel from Blade Runner 2049 by Amsler Tools
61) Spyderco Cricket from Mission Impossible 3
62) SOG Pentagon from Mission Impossible 6
63) Gil Hibben Double Shadow Dagger from Time Cop, The Fifth Element, Star Trek Nemesis, and others.
64) Cold Steel Counter Tac 1 from John Wick 2
65) Tekna dive knife from Bad Boys
66) Cold Steel Black Sable from Prom Night
67) Cold Steel "Terminator" push dagger from Total Recall
68) Cold Steel Urban Skinner from Mr. and Mrs. Smith
69) Cold Steel Espada from The Expendables
70) auto-spike in 1981's "Eye of the Needle

73) Severtech auto from Spartan
74) Karl’s Laredo Bowie in the Walking Dead
75) Hit girl balisong from Kick Ass
76) Lion Steel knife from Equalizer 3
77) Machete from the Book of Eli
78) Buck 119 from Red Dawn (1984)
79) Wrist knife from Marathon Man
The big fail so far has been that Hollywood has yet to feature a Smatchet in any of their films. Then again, such a knife would have provided enough of an advantage to immediate resolve the movie plot and prematurely end the film.
What would be on your top 10 list?
