Knife seen before?
Has anyone else noticed that the knife in this movie is oddly similar to the one in "The Shadow" that Alec Baldwin fights against a couple of times in the movie? Can anyone confirm that it is the same?
They are not the same knife, but are based on the same knife.

Thanks for the reference! I had no idea it was a real object!
shareIndeed. It is a ritual implement of Tibetan Buddhism. It's a beautiful object -- I own one as part of my Buddhist and Hindu collection of objects. Part of it's design is the vajra or dorje, which is the adamantine lightning bolt of enlightenment.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajra
