{"product_id":"double-shadow-knife-replica","title":"Double Shadow Knife Replica – Expendables 2 Split Blade, Mirror Polish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Double Shadow knife is a handmade replica of Gil Hibben's split-blade design, best known from The Expendables 2. It measures 12 inches overall, with a 7-inch mirror-polished D2 steel blade and a 5-inch silver wire-wrapped handle, and it comes with a black leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGil Hibben's Split-Blade Original\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHibben created the Double Shadow decades before The Expendables. It went into production in 1991, and by 2000 it had shown up in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Its defining feature is a blade split down the middle into two parallel points, so the knife throws a doubled outline from every angle. That is where the name comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSylvester Stallone has collected Hibben knives for years, and he brought Hibben designs into The Expendables films. The Double Shadow is one of the Hibben knives seen in The Expendables 2, where a longer version gets a surprising amount of screen time. This replica follows the classic proportions, with the polished guard, pommel and wire-wrapped grip that made the original a collector favorite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMirror-Polished D2 With a Silver Wire Grip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo long, slender tines run side by side from the guard to a pair of needle points. Each one is ground on both edges, and open slots near the ricasso continue the split. The full mirror polish shows off every bevel. D2 is a high carbon tool steel that holds an edge well and resists stains better than plain carbon steels, and the edges arrive sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cross guard is a solid, sculpted piece with flared ends polished to a bright shine, and a matching cap finishes the pommel. Between them, fine silver wire is wound tightly around the grip, giving it a textured, jewelry-like look and a firm hold. The black leather sheath has stitched edges, a snap retention strap and a belt loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMirror finishes show fingerprints, so wipe the blade with a soft cloth after handling and add a light coat of oil to keep the shine. Dry the gap between the two tines carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll find more knives from Stallone's films and other classic action movies in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/movie-replica-knives\"\u003emovie replica knives\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unique Blades Runner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67900110831794,"sku":null,"price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/3109\/9570\/files\/Double_Shadow_knife_replica_with_mirror-polished_D2_split_blade_and_silver_wire_grip.png?v=1793958787","url":"https:\/\/www.uniquebladesrunner.store\/products\/double-shadow-knife-replica","provider":"Unique Blades Runner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
