I just got this BEAUTIFUL Dexter knife today from an ebay Buy It Now auction and I couldn’t be more thrilled with it!!!It is stamped and has the serial #48912.The overall length between the hilt and the blade is 17.25".The blade is 12.25".I was inspired to look into Dexter’s after a recent post regarding whether or not it is known for sure that the original Halloween knife was a Lamson(Thanks to fellow member onlylooking").So,I checked out ebay right away and found this gem at a terrific price,especially considering it’s condition.It is as close a replica as can be found.I took some comparison pics next to my JC Lamson replica and the similarity is mind-boggling Man,I am SO happy I grabbed this puppy.Thanks for looking
JC/Dexter comparison pics
Length/width comparison with the Dexter laid on top of the JC-Only like a 1/4 inch difference in length!!!Pretty damn close overall
I’ve got one identical to it man… and I am one of those guys that prefers the Dexters over the Lamsons. The handle looks more accurate to Lauries knife. It was known that a few different brands of knives were used in the film so its possible a Dexter or two was used in the movie.
There ain’t nothing like holding an authentic knife like that is there?
Nope,nothing like it.The weight of it in your hand,just the overall feel.INSANE!!This one is in close to MINT condition to boot.Thanks for the comments bro!!
I’ve never been convinced a Lamson was used in the original Halloween…it could have been, could not. No proof either way as far as I’m concerned. That looks as good as any Lamson I’ve seen to match the screenused knives.
That explains why sometimes the knife appears to be widder at times. Glad you got your knife. She’s a beaut alright. JC does indeed do some nice work. Hard to tell what real and what’s safe to touch! I’ve tried to narrow it down more by looking at the knife in the original when it’s dropped in the closet and when she grabs it by the couch. Still not been able to 100% identify. Maybe I should go back and look at the rivet size…maybe that might give more of a clue.
Hey Myerstat…are you gonna display it with your Halloween stuff or put it back in storage till Halloween. Which brings me to my question, if you put it in storage, how do you keep it safe (not cutting anyone) wrapped blade,etc? I was wondering, thought I might stash mine since I don’t have enough room to dispaly year round. Any suggestions?
