I just got word that at least one of the knives used by Mike Statham as knife expert Lee Christmas in The Expendables is one of Darrel Ralph’s old AXD folders. Darrell says his list price for the knife as shown in the movie is $775. He says it was one of the first 3D machined knives on the market. He says no one from the movie contacted him about the knife being in The Expendables—not that he minds the publicity, of course—and that it may have been a knife from the collection of one of the movie’s principals. For more info on the AXD and or knives like it, visit www.darrelralph.com. Or, for pictures of the knife and scenes with it from the movie, see Steve Shackleford’s “My Page.”
