I wonder if that dark blue stripe started light blue? They did use the same bag for almost 5 years. Maybe the dirt darkened the stripe color?

Will you be able to remove the logo from the black square easily? I wonder if taking it to a tailor or seamstress (not sure of the right term) would be beneficial.
Also if you're going to remove it, maybe Rit Dye would help with the yellow.
It's stitched on but I'm sure an xacto knife will do the trick

@ TheNickFox:
I need you to email me the updated design images. One full, and one of each seperate component, 1:1 scale in JPG.
I am going to have them printed off at Copymax then take them to the metal shop and see how much this is going to hurt my business account.
I don't want to sell an item that is innacurate, but given the limited information we have, we are REALLY close and it looks to fit the bill quite nicely.
I would have had it sent out earlier but...well, Valentine's Day.GeneralFROSTY said:
Seems fitting that I send you the design for a kill knife on a holiday named for someone who was beheaded.

I can't take it anymore. I broke down and started ordering parts.
What did you get so far?
I think I'm gonna start with the clever moving left to right

I'm just gonna go for broke and get everything. Then cross my fingers that the main kill knife gets done sometime soon.
for the seven knives your probably looking at around $300 where are you getting your knives?

I'm working on a 3D model and blueprints for this knife... it's what I go to school for. Should I continue? Don't want to step on any toes.
No one has exclusive rights to make this, but I have been given some absolutely gorgeous and pretty accurate diagrams for the knife and will be bringing them to a local metal shop this week and see if I can get a reasonable quote for a run.pinder91 said:
You can work on whatever you wish, but let me see what I can do first before you spend the time if your end game is to own a replica of the knife yourself.
Also, if someone would be kind enough to post a links list to purchase each of the knives, please do so (post them in order as numbered in the photos previously posted) that way we can better organize ourselves here.

Thanks for the list!!
The big Bone saw can be purchased via an ebay seller. They may also have the smaller version if you ask.
Looks like I may be stopping at my local Sears for some kill knives!!!
Thanks!
And I'm pretty sure that other mystery knife is really that spatula that was posted many pages back (the one with the black-dotted handle) and it should be cut down to shape. It's pretty common for props to be modified existing products, so don't get too upset that you can't buy the thing off-the-rack and ready to go!
Like I said on page 5, CAD and design is what I go to school for, so I have very close connections with my University's Manufacturing Department.GeneralFROSTY said:
I was merely just trying to help the rest of you out. Afterall, 3D modeling and drawing up blueprints will be my profession shortly.
While still remaining on the topic of kill tools, has anyone looked into his syringe and or scalpel?

Okay, so, based on the behind the scenes look at the knives, it appears that there are actually two nearly identical designs for the Kill Knife. The only difference appears to be a small protrusion of the tang, on the blade-side, at the top of the handle. This protrusion could also be an optical illusion created by the different reflective qualities of the steel for the blade, the aluminum for the handle, and the fact that immediately above that area on the tan is the bevel for the blade, creating a visual disunion. Also, the only times it seems to exist are the times when the knife is turned slightly sharpened-side towards the camera in the behind the scenes stuff, which also might make the depth of the handle appear to be part of the tang.*
All of the stunt knives appear to have their tangs completely flush with the grip plates, so it's my working theory that the protrusion (if it is there) is a simple safety measure on the REAL, sharp knife to prevent the actor's hand from accidentally slipping forward onto the blade.
The question becomes which do you guys feel is more indicative of the design? Does having the stunt knives all flush mean that that's the way the designers want it to be viewed? Or does the fact that the actual knife might have the protrusion mean that THAT'S the way it should be.
I've made up a quick comparison between the two designs. Post and let Jimmy and me know which you feel is more accurate/you want more.
Also, just for fun, here's how big the kill knife (Using my scaling) would appear in my tiny, pale hands:
(I might as well have some fun while sitting at the computer for hours on end)

*I believe the protrusion is an optical illusion. I've now been frame-by-framing the behind the scenes video for about 40 minutes straight, and although I went back and forth originally, now, it appears to be the depth of the handle creating the look to my eye.

Yes, lets please decide on this issue before I bring the plans to the metal shop.
So after hours and hours of google-fu... I have yet to even remotely find anything close to the small saw. After realizing that there is a rather high percentage of modified as well as found items in this collection I pose this question... do you think the small saw frame could possibly be a modified version of the larger one? The leg cut off and the handle having a section removed and rewelded to reshape it? just a though...I'll keep looking...
