Does anyone know if the knives featured in the film still exist somewhere?

Cheers Mr. J-Man ..... I watched the film again yesterday and wondered if the actual knives still existed.... I watched the scene where it's opened and closed and I think they're picklocks....just wondered if anyone knew if they were still about somewhere...perhaps in a collection.

Well your looking at a pre-1950's, 13 - 11 inch kriss picklock. Adleast thats what I think they are.

If the accused had owned a Godfather, there wouldn't have been trial because his knife would be BROKEN ALL THE TIME!

Hi Teddy,
These are pre 50's picklocks for sure, and as someone said probably Latamas. I would guess they are still in the prop room somewhere unless they walked off, or were auctioned off, when some of the movie companies went belly up, 25yrs ago.

Mr Falcon,

I feel like a shit head, because I have never had any of these problems with any Protech. If you like I will buy it from you for what you have in it, or can offer to trade you out of it, with Paragons, or something Diff.

I wish I had kept my big mouth shut about Protechs being so great, this probably wouldn't have happened. Waya

Waya,

You are a great guy! I'm going to stop whimpering now (unless somebody asks me about my limited experience with Godfathers).

sorry but despite sympathising...your comments have been so amusing it would be a shame to stop now....how you've managed to retain your sense of humour amazes me :)

Teddy,

Thank you for your sympathy but save it for Mr. Guano who never rec'd his GF. And if he ever does get it and if it breaks, he's going to have to wait a lot longer to get it repaired at the factory than I do. In fact, if he did return it for warranty it stands a good chance of being "lost" in the mail all over again. 8)

Teddy,

For every one guy like me there are hundreds that have never had a problem with their GF's. Ask Waya. 8)
