    About the diving knives in the HALO dive scene in TND, these are my best guesses:
    Knife (leg) - Cressi-sub Orca
    Knife (chest) - unknown

    Which knife went into "The Art Of War" in Die Another Day?

    I don't know. It seems to be the same type of knife that was used by Pierce Brosnan in TWINE:

    (just visible on the desk, and also used to cut open the avalanche shelter)

    It looks a lot like a diver/survival knife from the 80's/90's. Tekna was one of the earliest brands to start making this type of knife, but their knives look a little bit different. Maybe someone else on the forum knows the exact type.

    Oh yeah, I just remembered that one of the divers entering the wreck in TND (to steal a missile) carries a Scubapro K6 knife.

    Hello,

    I am a serious buyer looking for anyone that would like to make a few extra bucks in return for their thunder ball Voit knife.

    I'm am willing to pay top dollar to anyone that has a near mint (zero rust, not resharpened, acceptable screeches on the handle, very minor on the blade) condition blue knife and sheath. Also, if any one has a black Voit knife that has the clip point and the "Voit" lettering on the handle, I am very interested. Thank you for you time and looking forward to hearing from you. Please PM me.

    Best,

    Jeff

    Does anyone know about the switchblade knife that Quarrel pulls at Puss Feller's bar in Dr. No? Also if my memory serves the throwing knifes in the attaché case in From Russia with Love are made by Wilkinsons just like in the novel.

    What about the throwing knives RM used in FYEO and OP, in OHMSS and the attache case throwing knife? The throwing knife scene in FYEO actually inspired me to buy a book on how to throw knives along with several professional throwing knives.

    Here's a low rez photo I found somewhere on the web of a Voit catalog. The shorter blue handled knife,second from left, is the SPECTRE;note they carried their knives on the belt. I've had the longer bluehandled version since before Thunderball came out and have always thought it was the type Bond used, especially under the Disco Volante, but I haven't seen the film in a long time and a search for good screencaps has been unproductive...

    I always thought it was a missed opportunity that EON didn't have their Bond armed as Fleming's was - with the throwing knife strapped to his forearm. It would have made for great scenes. Instead, we got Bond only using knives when he wasn't in his suit. Even in OHMSS, the knife he throws was taken from a henchman and was not his own. So the closest EON comes is giving him a wrist band firing dart gun. Ho-hum. Another reason it made Roger come across as less lethal. Compare that to when he threw the knife back at (was it Grischka?) in OP. It showed the character's more lethal side and it's something Roger just wasn't comfortable with.

    You have that nice CRKT knife in QOS--but yeah, wishing it was used.
