Knife from the movie "The Saint"

I posted this yesterday but it disappeared. Regarding the gadget knife that appears to be auto opener used by Val Kilmer's character in the movie, is it a real production knife or a movie prop. If it is real, who made it?

I enjoyed the movie. i though the knife looked remniscient of ontario's specwar stuff-the same that were in the Boker catalog a while back

Hi Kutch,

The Saint is one of my all-time favoriate movies. Your question inspired me to do some research. What I found out is that there are a lot of people out there with not much of a life, but documenting meaningless facts!

Now to your question. The best answer I could find is:

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">27. What kind of knife did Val Kilmer use in 'The Saint', and where can I get one?

The Saint's knife used in the Val Kilmer film was actually six purpose-built props; each of the prop knives performing a different function, all of which were attributed to the fictional knife. It is unlikely that any one knife will be able to perform all of the functions of The Saint's knife anytime soon (we must wait for technology to catch up!).</font>

Hope this helps.
