Lot # 833 : THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982) - Skeksis Dagger Prototype - Sold on Propstore.com

"A Skeksis dagger prototype from Jim Henson's and Frank Oz's fantasy adventure film The Dark Crystal. The Skeksis concealed daggers within their robes, including SkekZok (Jerry Nelson), who stabbed Kira (Kathryn Mullen).

This resin dagger was originally created as a prototype for the stabbing scene, but is believed to have instead been used as a background piece on a Skeksis costume. It features a bone-like handle with a black faux stone, a silver-colour blade, and decorative patterns engraved throughout. The dagger exhibits scuffing, paint chipping, bending, and a large crack on the tip. Dimensions: 29.25 cm x 7 cm x 4.5 cm (11.5" x 2.75" x 1.75")"

Did you know that the trick knife use in Goncharov was an actual Italian Stiletto? Most Hollywood movies use replica Stilettos that were widely available at the time. Scorsese wanted the movie to be authentic so he provided his own personal Stiletto for the film.

The thing is, that in order to get a particular shot they hired Adam Savage to make a trick knife, but the they couldn't get a replica that was close enough to the real thing, so Scorsese let Adam Savage modify his genuine Stiletto!
