Jason's (Ken Kirzinger) screen-matched "flying" SFX machete from Ronny Yu's horror crossover Freddy vs. Jason. Jason used his machete throughout the film as he terrorised teenagers and fought Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund). This SFX machete was made for scenes in which Jason threw it, such as when he impales a steam pipe during his dream battle with Freddy. It screen-matches to this scene when Freddy propels it from the steam pipe into Jason's chest through markings along the blade. The top of the blade and the handle have a thin groove and guide bushings, through which a cable would have run, allowing the knife to travel as if thrown. The blade is made of aluminium, and the handle is made of resin, with a piece of tape on which "Boiler Rm Sc./Tree Impalement Sc." is handwritten. The end of the blade features two deep nicks and there is some paint wear along the blade. Dimensions: 76 cm x 2.5 cm x 11.5 cm (30" x 1" x 4 1/2")
