    From memory, Kincaid's knife belonged to the household of Andrew Bond, right? So Bond killed Silva with his father's knife while attempting to save his "mum".

    Greekly tragic, ain't it?

    In Bond25, perhaps he'll fly too close to the sun, Colonel Sun?

    You could go further and say Bond (the good son) killed his rejected evil "brother" Silva with his father's knife, while trying to save their mum!

    Kincade's knife is the knife Bond later used to kill Silva. Same knife. It's not Bond's father's it's Kincades, he has it on his belt sheathed when he first encounters Bond. Bond used it more during the final scenes, but they got cut out to keep the violence in check for the cert they wanted for release. That's why it may be confusing when Bond randomly shows up with it at the end. They made a few rubber stunts for those scenes too.

    The hero originally bought in pre-production was a Bob Loveless hunter in Odin's eye damascus. Obviously they needed more on set as back ups as well as custom knives for the one stuck in Bardem and the dummy of him that falls to the floor so they had someone make replicas out of buffalo horn, with brass bolsters and damascus close as possible to the original Loveless (Loveless knives are rare and costly). I don't think they used the Loveless on screen in the end, but that might be it when Kincade pops it on the table, it's a little more refined than the ones made to its specification, and the damascus is of a higher quality. Windlass certainly use the same suppliers of steel as that used on the screen used Kincade knives, but it 100% isn't one of their stock models. As a Loveless design they would probably be breaking design and copyright protected models if they were to offer them.

    Some Magician on here did get a small run produced and they are very very accurate to the screen used one, the only tell is the gaps on the bolsters where the blade runs through, and the transition from bolster to handle and to butt is smoother without a step. But I've seen one next to the screen used versions and they undoubtedly made by the same hand, with the same tools and with the same materials.

    And Windlass didn't supply the 'self surgery knife. That was a Nieto as discussed ad infinitum on another thread.

    Windlass UK sell, or used to sell many other brands of knife apart from their own range such as the AG Russell STING. I've learned not to take what they say too literally.

    The OP ain't full of bullshit, well the racist muck was bullshit but it's the statement from that guy who can't.... let's call him Voldemort said. "One of ours" no it ain't, and that statement is bullshit.

    And please, my most sincere apologies go to anyone offended by my comments concerning Voldemort.

    That would have been a nice addition to bonus features.

    The rawness in SF was lacking compared to CR and QOS, and I actually never spotted why until your above post.

    Best,

    As I said previously, there are names on AJB who's word I would trust if they told me the earth was flat or that Higgy Babe had laid his egg. :v Snakeboy is one of those guys and he is the Bond blade doyen. We all tend to specialise in some small way and this is one of his little niches. I love my Kincaid knife.
