BLADE (1998) - Blade's (Wesley Snipes) Retractable SFX Daywalker Sword - Blade's (Wesley Snipes) retractable SFX Daywalker sword from Stephen Norrington's Blade. The half-human, half-vampire carried his signature sword in multiple scenes throughout the film, wielding it as he battled Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) after he'd become the avatar of the supreme blood god La Magra.

Among the Daywalker's most distinctive accessories and an inheritance from his mentor, Abraham Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), Blade's sword was designed by Hollywood swordmaker Tony Swatton. His sword appeared in multiple promotional images for the film, and remained his signature weapon throughout the next two films.

This aluminum version of the Daywalker's sword was created for SFX inserts of Blade stabbing other vampires. It features a polished blade with a retractable tip and a distinctive blood groove as well as a ribbed, less detailed version of the sword's signature grip painted black to appear wrapped with leather. The retractable tip exhibits scuffing at its point and the paint on the grip exhibits flaking from production use and handling. Dimensions: 36" x 2" x 2" (91.5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm)

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

Estimate: $12,000 - 24,000
