A screen-used Gimlet from the sci-fi mystery series The X-Files. Also known as the "Alien Stiletto," "Alien Switchblade," or "Ice Pick," the Gimlet was used throughout the series to kill aliens and hybrids with stabs at the bases of their necks.

Designed under the supervision of property master Ken Hawryliw, the Gimlet first appeared in Season 2's episode "Duane Barry." This particular Gimlet was gifted by Hawryliw's successor, Tom Day, to supervising producer and second unit director Paul Rabwin in recognition of his contribution to the weapon's signature stabbing sound.

It is made from metal with a long, thin blade and a retracting mechanism built into the side. Also included is a Letter of Authenticity on X-Files letterhead signed and dated "March 20, 2021" by Rabwin. It is in good overall condition with some rusting to the blade and mechanism from age. Dimensions: 11" x 1" x 1" (28 cm x 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm)

Contains mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $8,000 - 10,000
