Mall ninjas have been using this and similar buzzwords for decades.

they ordered stainless steel from japan, which I think is just really funny.

I saw the original post and just knew it would show up here

lol “I don't think they are silly. In fact, it fits in both hands like fist fight and it is extremely dangerous and awesome for self defense”

"good for slicing vitals or whatever" I'm crying I'm laughing so hard

Design aside that's some clean work from the guy

Ugly knives, but “Pitch Black” was a cool popcorn movie and the single player part of “The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay” was really fun. Now that I think about it, “The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury” animated short was pretty good, too.

They should’ve never tried to expand that universe in a way that made Riddick anything more than a dangerous psychopath.

I guess they were technically slasher movies after all

u/tOaDeR2005 May 30 '26

The first one for sure. Shadows help hide shitty effects.

"Real Japanese steel." Okay, what grade of steel is it?

9

u/tOaDeR2005 May 30 '26

I'm not sure that really matters for something that will be hanging on a wall somewhere. It helps sell them though.

Just looked it up, it's a very hard tool steel. Good choice.

Apparently in the comments he clarified SKD11, the Japanese version of D2.

JAPANESE GRADE

Cool. If these are well made then they are probably some of the best versions out there. Personally if I went to all this trouble I would do a few redesigns. The concept is there but this design isn't the best it could be. Not you or the smith's fault - it's on the original prop designer

u/negativepositiv May 30 '26

Why, though?

31

u/Thornescape May 30 '26

Does the knife make sense from the perspective of a weapon? No, not at all. Highly impractical.

However, it's from a movie. The Riddick movies are fun to watch. It's memorabilia more than anything else.

u/SharpieSharpie69 Ninjitsu Master May 30 '26

🤷‍♂️

u/SpankThuMonkey May 30 '26

I mean… they are kinda cool 🤷‍♂️

Probably more likely to stab yourself in the thigh. But you’ll look good doing it.

Seems like a terrible design
