Bonds Knife

Asp9mm

Can anyone ID Bonds fixed blade knife that he hands over, when he is being disarmed by M.

It looked to me like an old fixed blade Smith and Wesson in a kydex sheath that they released a few years back, but I only had a fleeting glimpse.

It might be one of the S&W HRT series.Here's a link:

Yeah, that's what I figured. Although the sheath isn't shown on that site, this is the knife I thought it was...

Tecolote

If you click on the knife info,it'll show the sheath.I won one of these at a SASS shoot a few years ago, and it has a kydex sheath with a belt
clip,and it's been clipped to my car's sunvisor most of the time.Not a bad choice for the price.
I'll carefully watch for it this Friday...

Outstanding, I picked one of these up at a show a couple weeks ago. Awesome knife for the price (about $20US.).

I may have to pick one of these up! not too shabby looking!

So, is it the right one?

Not 100% sure. Might have to wait for the DVD to confirm. I saw it again last night and it might be a Gerber Guardian too

Tecolote

Is the knife sheathed in the scene? If so the sheath may give us a clue.

It's a kydex sheath, looks like either the Gerber or the S&W though. Seen quite quickly on screen, so I need a screen cap to be sure.

Tecolote

Saw the movie today;at first glance,the sheath looks more like that of the Gerber,as there seems to be a hole at the sheath's tip,which the Gerber has, and the S&W doesn't. As my wife also wants to go to see it again,I'll get another chance...

The S&W that I have had since 2002-ish has the hole.

I saw it at midnight last night and it looked to me like the Gerber knife that PB used in TND.....?

Asp9mm

Oh man we ned a screen cap. After a few viewings I'm leaning towards the Gerber Guardian, but that is far from a certainty.

Tecolote

Asp9mm:
My S&W circa late 90's has 2 holes toward the tip of the sheath.
I thought when Bond hands off the knife,it looked
as though the sheath, rather than the handle, was upright and I noticed the single hole at the sheath's tip .Could be wrong,though, and I'll look again.

Whatever it is I just hope it is the knife I already have....

I was pleasantly surprised to see Bond actually packing a fixed bade. Considering the violence DC wreaks on folks, quite appropriate. Makes sense too as he is again packing the PPK.

how did he even procure the knife? its not the same one from the fight with slate

Donald Grant

To me, the knife looked like it was in a black leather sheath.

He brought it with him from Austria. The flight taken was clearly a charter, which have considerably lower security requirements than public flights. He took it with him to the party, and just never had any use for it up to that point.

Nightshooter

where does Bond wear his knife?

I hope you guys figure out which knife it is.

Tecolote

Both the S&W and Gerber Guardian clip inside the waistband.It seemed as though Bond had it clipped on his right side although during the scene's filming Craig may just have been holding
the sheathed knife out of camera shot,judging from the speed at which he handed it over.

I'm with DG on this, having just seen the film for the second time I was watching out for the knife. The sheath did look leather, but that is just an "impression". The way DC is holding it covers the hilt pretty well, so that all we see is the end of the shealth and the base of the handle - not much to go on.

I think that a positive ID will have to wait from someone with "production access".....

Nightshooter

Any news? Anybody see it again?

7289

Haven't heard a thing, but ordered the S&W knife today. At about $20 - not much of a risk either way.

We won't know for sure until someone with production connections can ID it for sure. In the film the knife is just too obscured to be 100%.

Tecolote

the Greber Guardian won't break the bank,either.

If that turns out to be it, I'll buy it, but $50 is more than $20, so for now, I just ordered the S&W.

I have been looking at this very closely.

The Kydex sheath appears to have a drop point style blade...it is not a dagger, aprox. 4 inches in length, and 1.25 - 1.75 inches wide. It appears to be about 8 inches overall in length. The handle appears to be slim, as you can not see any bulkiness in Craig's hand.

The sheath definitely has a drain hole at the tip, and from the photos, also has a hole through the kydex near the opening of the sheath. It is also curved / rounded on the sharp side at the opening rather than cut off with hard angles.

I do have several screen shots, but due to the rules I can not post them here. I am researching elsewhere to see if anyone can identify it.

Clarky

It looks like a Gerber Guardian Back-up to me. The sheath looks like Kydex and about midway down it it is has a squared area where the locking mechanism stops and the strap slots and clip are. You can see this most clearly while it is still in Bond's hand before he gives it to the other SIS man. The dimensions are also consistent with the Guardian.

It appears that Bond's knife is missing the metal clip. This was probably done to make it easy for DC to pull it out of his pants, because the design of the clip make it near impossible to just slip it out.

Any updates?

The Bond Experience

This is the knife used but for the film the straps were removed. Twelve of them supplied to production/prop company by Dave Dipetro of AC/Museum Replicas. It is the AG Russells Sting
