Jason's (Ken Kirzinger) hero bloody machete from Ronny Yu's horror crossover Freddy vs. Jason. Jason used his machete throughout the film, while cutting down teenagers and fighting Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund). At one point, Freddy even turned the machete against him. Production designer John Willett designed the film's machetes, and many were made for a variety of different gags.

The machete's blade is made of aluminium, with a resin handle that's wrapped in white tape. The blade's surface was designed to be slightly rough so liquids better adhered to it, and it is covered in stage blood. The machete has been intentionally distressed to appear well used, and the crossguard is slightly loose. It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from New Line Cinema. Dimensions: 76 cm x 2.5 cm x 11.5 cm (30" x 1" x 4 1/2")
