Hello. I've seen posts about movies where knives are a prominent or memorable part of the story, used by a character, part of a particular scene, etc..
I'm 57 years old and when I was young, I grew up watching cowboy/"Indians" movies, war movies, etc.. However, not sure why, but I was just thinking and it came to my mind that there were movies and a character that I always loved as a kid. Tarzan. I liked Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan in the older movies. If I recall correctly, Tarzan always had a fairly large fixed blade knife. I recall it was made to look fairly old fashioned (I'm thinking older French or German style cutlery) in a "primitive" sheath, or just held in the waist of his loincloth (?).
Anyway, I don't think I've ever consciously made the associate, but thinking back, I'm sure I was influenced to think of a/his knife as being a critical tool for his successfully living in a jungle environment.
Thoughts or comments? Thanks. Regards, Adam
