Does anyone recognize this knife? I saw the Cleaners used a Muela Spanish Police knife, but I cannot find a match to Selene's.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Selene's Underworld Evolution Knife?

Does anyone have any ideas? I contacted Ruko, who distributed the Muela knives used in the movie and they did not recognise it, even as a discontinued model.

Looks like a nondescript Chinese or Pakistani knife perhaps sold as a diving knife?

... and I almost thought I'd be the only fan of Underworld!
It's the "Nieto Gran Combate"!
Have a look here (sorry, it's a German site and it shows the smaller version "Nieto Combate"- but you get the picture).
Cheers,

Good find. The clip on the one pictured is different. I can't find a photo of the larger one either.

Hmm, I don't see the difference - could you be more specific?
Here's a link to all those models.
The model 185 (without the -G) should be the correct one:
Btw.: The screen used was sold for $1375....
Cheers,
Stefan

Yeah, it looks like they made a new aluminum blade. The hilt might have been recast to provide a basis for the prop.

That,
or they changed the design of the blade on later runs.
The Gerber MkII is a good example - if you check the history of that knife you'll see quite some variation in the blade design.
Might be the same here, though I don't think this knife lasted several decades already

Sorry, I just saw your question. The back edge of the knives are different.

Is it possible that they ground down the side of the blade, removing not only the end of the clip but the insignia as well? If my eyes don't deceive me, It looks like the main body of the blade tapers farther towards the tip possibly adding to this theory.
Oh, and the finish on the blade of the movie knife does look pretty dulled down.
Just my personal observation lending to my theory

You have the actual knife used in filming? Can you post a pic of the back area? I'd be interested to see how, why they modified it.
Thanks
