I'm assuming you're wanting to make something based off the game model? I think the dagger is going to be in the movie, so I wonder how similar the two will be
I have a dagger of time a friend made me for a fan film I did:

Unfortunately I posted that back when youtube didn't have high quality settings and a little while back I lost all my movies in a crash. My friend had never played the games and was totally unenthusiastic about the whole thing. He was the only person I knew with woodshop on his schedule though. I'd love to see any other props people have as well.
Ok, MooMooEgg I am gonna base on the Game model, personality I am not putting much faith in the movie,
And, Wow Risu That Dagger looks amazing, could you explain how you made it?
My friend did most of it. The handle is just made out of 1.5 inch thick wood carved into shape with a band saw and then I used black sharpie to color the design onto it. This is back before I found the world of prop replication. The blade is made of three sheets of plexiglass. All three are cut to the same external shape, but the middle one is hollowed out. All three were glued together and then edges sanded smooth, then I poured in some sand and wood glued the blade into the handle. The glow was added in post.
Some day I'd like to sculpt a new one of these that looks really good. It would probably require the use of some clear resin though, and I've never even cast normal resin, much less the bubblicious stuff. I grew up in New Mexico and went back for vacation a couple years ago and got a bottle full from White Sands. If/when I get around to making an SA one, I'm filling it up with that.
You get a really good view of the dagger in this trailer/ behind the scenes

I had planned on making mine out of metal, but I can't do filligre like that. I guess I'll have to cast and paint it. Just one more reason to invest in killer chrome.
That looks awesome. I can't wait to see progress pics.DemonFire said:
Oh, and from the little I've seen of it, I totally understand where this woman is coming from.
Bump, Anyone found any good pictures of the dagger from the movie?
