NEW Clockwork Orange Alex' Britva Cane - done 2018
8 years ago I've started this thread...:wacko After two attempts with no great results..I was finally able to built one the way I was imagine it:
Previously I had used another knife, but It turned out too small, too short. I was overall not satisfied with it. So out with the old, in with the new knife. Have to remove the "stainless steel" etching on it with a smooth sandpaper. I also have to darken the nail who holds the knife in place. The cane is not perfect and screen accurate, but I've used a real wooden one which my passed away Granddad was working on it. I've now reworked it to my goods and I am totally happy with the results. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun in working out problems and looking for solutions.

Alex DeLarge's Britva Cane:
Alex DeLarge's notorious Britva Cane as used by Malcom McDowell in the awesome 1971 flick 'A Clockwork Orange'. It features an black varnished aluminium cane, a plastic stopper at the end, and an authentic hardwood marble at the top of the cane. Entirely 3 ft. long, just like the screen used version. The marble was coated by a beautiful colored glaze, called Oregon pinewood. Finally clear coated to seal the wooden top. Unfortunately, there is still no blade attached on the inside of the hidden grip mechanism. Made entirely by myself.
This one is based upon a cane that Malcolm McDowell carried during a photo session wearing the classic villain gear from Alex DeLarge again:

I could post a tutorial too if somebody would like to see it.
