Jason Voorhees' (Derek Mears) hero fireplace poker from Marcus Nispel's horror reboot Friday the 13th. Jason impaled Sheriff Bracke (Richard Burgi) through the eye with a poker when Bracke knocked on Trent's (Travis Van Winkle) cabin door. In one swift thrust, Jason penetrated Bracke's skull and pinned him to the door, poker-faced. It was also used by Lawrence (Arlen Escarpeta) to defend himself against Jason.
The metal poker is painted black and features an engraved pommel handle, a rigid shaft and a hook at its tip. Supplied by the film's prop master Koen Wooten, the poker has a weighty and robust feel. Dimensions: 68 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm (26 3/4 " x 2" x 1 1/2")
