Our expert's notes

Bill the Butcher’s (Daniel Day Lewis) waistcoat and special effects knife from Martin Scorsese’s period epic Gangs of New York. This colourful checked velour waistcoat was seen in the second half of the film. It was originally worn in the film by a man set on killing Bill at the theatre, whose attempt ultimately failed. Later in the film, Bill wore the assassin’s coat as a gesture of defiance.
Also included is an effects knife with a wooden handle and a dulled metal blade. There are two tiny metal loops along the top edge of the blade, which allowed the knife to slide along a guide wire to achieve the elaborate and potentially dangerous shots where Bill throws his knives. Dimensions: 4 cm x 3 cm x 34 cm (1½" x 1" x 13½")
