An autographed stunt Jason (Ken Kirzinger) machete from Ronny Yu's horror crossover Freddy vs. Jason. This lot comes from the personal collection of Friday the 13th collector and historian Mario Kirner. Jason used his machete throughout the film, while cutting down teenagers and fighting against Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund). At one point, he even had it turned against him by Freddy. Production designer John Willett designed the film's machetes, and many were made for a variety of different uses and "gags."
This machete is a rubber stunt version with a metal armature. It is painted to look like metal and has tape wrapped around the handle. The blade has been autographed and inscribed "Used by myself in "Freddy Vs. Jason" by Kirzinger. The blade exhibits some paint wear from use, and the metal armature is protruding from the end of the blade. Dimensions: 30" x 1" x 4.25" (76 cm x 2.5 cm x 11 cm)
This lot comes from the Friday the 13th Props Museum collection of Mario Kirner. The Museum was created as a private collection that showcased not only Jason's iconic hockey mask, but also a number of other movie props, costumes and additional materials that were used during the production of the Friday the 13th movies.
An avid contributor in the screen-used prop and costume collecting field for more than 20 years, Mario Kirner has been a dedicated in his work and efforts to help to transform what was once a niche hobby into an popular culture phenomenon. Mario is not just a collector, but a true historian and curator of all things Jason Voorhees and Friday the 13th, also publishing a book dedicated to showcasing the museum's content and their stories.
Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
