Lot description
BLADE (1998) - Blade's (Wesley Snipes) Metal Throwing Glaive - Blade's (Wesley Snipes) metal throwing glaive from Stephen Norrington's Blade. Daywalker Blade used his boomerang-like throwing glaive alongside his signature sword and other weaponry to dispatch vampires. He kept his glaive on his utility belt while not in use throughout the film, and also wielded it in stills from the promotion of the film. First introduced in Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan's The Tomb of Dracula No. 10, the half-human half-vampire Blade exclusively used melee weapons such as teakwood daggers and mahogany stakes to slay vampires prior to the film trilogy. For Norrington's film, the revolutionary superhero was updated to be particularly proficient with bladed weapons, requiring Snipes to undergo intensive weapons and fight training. Snipes had trained in various martial arts since he was 12 years old, lending to the authenticity of Blade's skills. Designed by master weaponsmith Tony Swatton, this rare static double-ended "open"-style throwing glaive is one of only two original glaive props from the first Blade film ever offered for public sale. Made of metal and applied with a high-shine, chrome-like finish, it features a leather-wrapped handle that does not have the large medallion seen in the later films, making it a unique example from this beloved franchise. The weapon exhibits scuffing and scratches to its finish from production use. Dimensions: 11.5" x 5" x 1" (29.25 cm x 12.75 cm x 1.25 cm) Blade was dulled by production.
