Run Bridget...
A bit of movie trivia, Harvey Keitel was Capt. Willard for the 1st day of filming for "Apocalyse Now"

That looks to be an Economy Standard. It looks like the stamped metal clip with no screws, unique to the Econo as far as I know. Great captures!

EDIT: scratch that it wasn't tommy lee jones, I just checked his filmography... this is gonna bug me forever now, the only thing i remember clearly about the film was the spydercard (PE)
:eek: It was't Tommy Lee Jones, it was Harvey Keitel! Thanks ASmitty and Gollum! :D

No pic I'm afraid but I'm sure I saw a D'Allara used by Col. Mitchell in season 10 ep.12 of Stargate SG1.

Well, no picture....

But I saw a preview for next weeks episode of "Damages" and sure enough, there was a full-on, clear as day shot of a Stainless SE Spyderco ATR.

Might have to watch for it Tuesday on FX.

Watching the helium raft episode of Mythbusters and Kari while cutting the raft to release the helium appears to be using a Lum Tanto. There's not a real good shot of it but it's definitly a Spyder and the blade profile look like the folding Tanto, can't think of anything else with that spine profile.
Might be a Persian?

I believe I spotted either a Tasman Salt or a Harpy in a trailer for the upcoming Jodie Foster film "The Brave One".
Can anyone confirm this?

If you look closer you can see that it's a fixed blade with a hole in the handle for an index finger (or another finger).

I was just eating my breakfast getting ready for school today when I spotted a Spyderco Police in a Canadian tv show called North of 60.

I was pretty amazed to see it in that show, because to my knowledge that was a pretty small show.

I was just watching the first episode of an NBC program called "Life", in which a police officer is exhonerated from a jail sentence for a crime he didn't commit. Well, the main character, 3 mins into the pilot episode, flicks open a SS Police model (looks to be PE). He uses it to collect evidence from a crime scene. Very cool.

Not sure if this has been identified already but I was watching an episope of Modern Marvels on the History Channel. The Episope was Knives, Swords, and Axes. The last few minutes were about knives and theshow a quick clip of a guy opening what looked like a Military model. The whole scean was about 2 seconds. I needed to pause it with my DVR to see.

Sorry No screen shots.

Last month i posted about a new NBC program called "Life", about a policeman who was wrongly sent to prison and was exhonerated and got his job back. Well, I just watched another episode, and the protagonist of the show used a semi-serrated Spyderco Police TWICE in the same episode. One of the scenes involved a thug who pulled a switch blade on the protagonist and put it to his throat. The next scene cuts to the thug's waist area, in which we see that the protagonist has the Spyderco Police pointed right at the thug's groin.
I nearly jumped from my seat in bemusement.

You beat me to it! I've been watching the show and that Spyderco does seem to be a prominent part of the main character. It is very symbolic in the show. The lead character, Charlie Crews, is very Zen-like and the knife is sort of the focal point of his personality.

What really suprised me was when the fleeing suspect pulled a knife and put it to the officer's throat then later complined and accused Crews of countering by pulling a knife on him! Now this is a cop usually armed with a gun, but the focus was "how dare he pull a knife on a suspect" from Crews' superior!

As if the gun was nothing and the knife was somehow even MORE dangerous than the sidearm.

Later in the show, Charlie hands the closed knife to his female partner to hold, showing his trust in her and the ablity to restrain himself ( If I recall correctly, I was half asleep)

A Police was featured prominently in the show Life on NBC last night. I have no pics, unfortunately. Good show, by the way.
