Our expert's notes

Blade's (Wesley Snipes) SFX Sword from Stephen Norrington's 1998 vampire action film, Blade. In the film, a half-vampire half-human vigilante known as Blade faces off again Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) and a cult of blood thirsty vampires.
Although Blade carries an impressive arsenal, his weapon of choice is this modified sword that releases four hidden blades when handled by an unfamiliar user. This gag is seen several times in the film. The sword features long aluminum blade with dull edges that is attached to a resin hilt with four small spring loaded blades that are also made from aluminum. The smaller SFX blades are retractable and can fit into the hilt, though they naturally rest in the extended position. The sword has a small hole in the bottom of the hilt, where a cable originally was connected, which could be pulled to cause the short blades to retract into the handle. The neck collar piece on the sword, which is sometimes seen rotating in the film, is cast in a fixed position on this piece.
This item features minor wear from production use (see photos) but remains in overall very good condition.
