I can confirm that handle was made of BakeliteBill DeShivs wrote: Fri May 12, 2023 5:49 am I have seen an Italian picklock with white plastic scales, so it's possible.
It's also possible they just painted it white for effect.
A couple of shots of the white knife look like it's a square button knife-others make me sure it's not.

Amazing how the two most active threads are about two movie knives form years ago !!!!!! We are a group of old geezers,,,,,,,,
Re: Rebel without a Cause picklock
Besides showing that foreign sellers on Ebay could get a lot more for their knives if they didn't block U.S. accounts from bidding, what does the old listing for a knife on Italian Ebay tell you about the knives used in filming the Rebel Without a Cause movie?
Re: Rebel without a Cause picklock
The guy posted this knife and said it was in his family from many generations when he actually bought it 3 weeks ago off eBay. Lmao. And now he has a special old tag with it.

And actually he posted it the day after he got it on Facebook claiming he knew nothing about the knife.

Good eye OldIsGold.
Clearly the same knife from the ebay listing. I guess you can't believe everything everybody says on the internet

Re: Rebel without a Cause picklock
I did not pick up that they were literally the same knife. As someone else said, good eye.
The thing I got from the knife in the Ebay listing was that the maker of that knife had a very short throw for the safety. Sometimes the slot is almost an inch long. The knife from Ebay appears to have about a quarter inch of safety travel. Not what I should have been paying attention to, I guess.

Re: Rebel without a Cause picklock
Weird how someone would create an elaborate lie for absolutely no reason... can't think of a bigger loser than to make up/fabricate detailed (false) stories to try and fool people like this guy was doing. I bet he never comments again LOL
