"Christine" Movie knife

[Jeff]

I have a movie knife themed case in the works and I am enjoying seeing it come together but it will take me some time so in the meantime I thought I would practice one with a smaller 18" X 9" display case for the Movie John Carpenters "Christine" based on the Stephen King book in the 1980's.
In the Movie Arnie Cunningham has a 10 1/2" Japan Rizzuto swinguard pulled on him ( knife picture at the bottom of case) by a terrible bully named Buddy Repperton. Here is the knife with some old 50's car key blanks with a photo of the identical movie knife and Arnies supernatural 58' Plymouth Fury taking revenge.
It goes well with my movie theme framed art I have on the walls (and the switchblades) It's cool what a couple of little picture frames and home made glossy photos can do for a display case.

That's pretty darn cool Jeff.
I know this was kind of a sorry movie for Charles Bronson but in Deathwish III the leader of the street gang pulls out what looks like an 11" or 13" brass flat guard with a clip style blade and possibly black horn (too long ago to remember) and says: "This is the stickerette...and you are the stick-ee" and proceeded to poke a hole in the guy with it.
My point is- it was an unusual knife and I was wondering if anyone might know what it was...that is if you can sit through that movie long enough. I think it was in the first 15/20 mins or so.

Carl Weathers had one in the movie Force 10 From Navarone.
James Coburn had a Stiletto in the Magnificent Seven (uh I didn't know they had them back in the 1800's)
And my fave,Clint Eastwood taped an 11" Italian to his leg in the first Dirty Harry.
I know other movie knives were discussed somewhere else but I don't think these were mentioned.

I like your display,the keys are a great touch. You should check salvage yards or e-bay for a hood ornament or some kind of emblem from an old Fury.

Thanks, I did and they are tough to find. The keys are 2 vintage blanks from a 1950's car. I may add something over time but as I said the other movie case I am working should be done in a month and there is lots of vintage goodies going with the knives in that one. This is a simpler one, the "Buddy Repperton"
Sorry I'm not sure what kind of switch was in Death Wish.

VERY cool display Jeff!

The death wish one was a 15" flat (Standard blade) Death Wish I had a ton of switchblades in it!, the Clint Eastward I would agrue was a 13". The Mag Seven was a 11" pick lock with a bayo blade, and the Navorone was a Rizzuto ( Only one I am not totally sure about as it may have been a 11" Italian) Nice Case there Jeff!

Very cool display Jeff, I love it!! This film was my very first exposure to a Rizzuto swing guard. There was just something about the Buddy character in the film, lambchop sideburns, road drinking, muscle cars & bullying. His pockets looked empty, then he hauls out this huge 11" swing guard. Never has yogurt been so assaulted.
Great job, and I can't wait to see the other movie knife display!!

Now that is iconic. Nicely done!

It really looks good, can't wait to see the other one.

What's the deal with Bullies being named "Buddy"
Here's a shot of Buddy Revell from Three O'clock High. And even though this was a comedy, this dude was so hard core!

[Phil Elmore]

And that movie -- which is excellent -- also features a swingguard stiletto!

That was an awesome movie.

Chad, in 3:00 high didn't they plant the same Rizzi in Buddys locker?
Thanks for the good comments guys, I had a Rizzi 10 1/2" just like this knife at the time when I was 12 and saw Christine but I had no idea it was the same brand as Reppertons I just knew they were the same type knife.
I hear you gunner, Stephen King really creates some characters doesn't he?

According to the gunner- and he is a rizzi swingKing- it was a 10 1/2" clone, one of those korean clones.

Oh right, I remember the other thread. it's the type with the different guards.
