All I wanted was a butterfly knife when I was a kid and I never had a nice one. Just flea market, mall ninja ones but this was the reason.

The Outsiders? I haven’t seen that since high school!

Yep. We were in 7th or 8th grade when we read that one!

Maybe not my favorite but scariest knife in a movie is one used in the Town that dreaded Sundown 1976. The killer tied a Buck 110 (I think) to a trombone then proceeded to serenade his captive. And no I am not watching it again. I saw it the first time in a cabin in the middle of nowhere when I was about 16. Dad insisted.

Yep, don't get taken by surprise. Be prepared, be aware of your surroundings at all times. You never want to be at the mercy of a psycho.

In Apocalypse Now, Captain Willard sneaks into Kurtz' quarters and observes a heavily used SOG knife next to his bed, which fits in with the theme of a MACV-SOG leader gone AWOL.

Sharp eye.

Sharp eye.

Nah, I'm pretty sure Kurtz has a lazy eye. Or maybe he's just a lunatic. Can't blame him either way.

I suspected they used a prop knife in the film(s), but in Lonesome Dove Captain Augustus McCrae carries and uses what appears to be a Russell Green River butcher/skinning knife. It would have been something readily available to pretty much everyone in the time and region, so I choose to believe that's what was used (ar at least depicted).

Tough day for the horse, though.

In the book, the only description of his knife was a Case knife.

Huh, that's new information to me. Might be a little off, wasn't Case founded in 1889? I think the plot of the book/ film is in the 1870's or early 1880's.

I thought that when I read the book, but I suppose the story could have been in the 1890s. Also in the book, Pea Eye always carried a bowie knife that he kept shaving sharp.

Quigley Down Under......used during the "wagon scene"?

The kukri from Black '47. Incredible!

 

[RPZIP]

Don't fall off your horse wearing that.

Iirc, there was a time when a case knife was a fixed blade. Colloquially
