STAR TREK X “SHINZON ‘BLOOD DRAW’ KNIFE”

A prop knife featured in tenth Star Trek X feature film, “Nemesis”, for use by Tom Hardy in his portrayal of “Shinzon” during a scene taking place aboard the Reman Warbird “Scimitar” wherein he cuts his hand to allow for the “Enterprise-E” crew to take a sample of his blood for testing. The item is metal with a metal wire wrapped grip painted with a multi-color petroleum sheen on the ‘blade' which is beveled to appear sharp. This item is unique in that it features an additional element; a metal tube affixed to the backside of one blade which is attached to a rubber tube at the grip. The purpose being that special effects ‘blood’ squirt from the blade as the ‘cutting’ action occurs on screen. In fact, evidence of special effects ‘blood’ still exists on the ‘blade’. The item measures approx. 9.5 X 1.5 X 2 inches.
