Thanks for all the replies, guys! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /> I'd definitely recommend this piece to anyone looking for a safe knife for walk-arounds, haunted houses, or just general costuming purposes. I love mine. Now I just need to find some way to display it with the rest of my collection.<!--quoteo(post=284291:date=Nov 17 2008, 12:30 AM:name=ZombieBloodLust)<div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE(ZombieBloodLust @ Nov 17 2008, 12:30 AM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=284291\"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotecLooks pretty "Killer"! However, my question is Why? really guys? how hard is it to just get a kitchen knife and do this? this a very simple effect to do, not to mention have it be permanent for years to come...Why this knife over what you can make yourself?<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndAre you kidding? You must be. Do you know how much a real forged knife like the one this prop was cast from would cost you? Well, the answer is usually $250 - $280 minimum. Why spend that much money on a real, vintage, forged work of art kitchen tool only to fuck it up with "permanent blood" or epoxy or whatever? To me that'd be a much bigger waste of money...Besides, I already have two real knives. I figured it's time to try a fake one for a change. Glad I did, too! This one doesn't require any maintenance, in contrast to my metal knives.<b>puckface:</b> As I said in my original post, the knife seems to be a fully plastic casting, pieced together in two halves at the area where the handle meets the hilt.<b>Adam:</b> HAHA, not to mention she's grown about 2 feet taller in the last three weeks! I don't know what that girl's been eating. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/teehee.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":teehee:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"teehee.gif\" /> <b>Cory:</b> Totally. You and Adam have to see this thing in person sometime. For that matter, we can watch Crocodile Dundee together and laugh until we cry vodka tears.Thanks again and cheers,Ryan
