THE DARK KNIGHT: SCREENUSED JOKER KNIFE (stunt), used by Heath Ledger - SOLD!

WHY SO SERIOUS? This is a so-called "stunt knife" from the film production of Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT. Used extensively by the brilliant Heath Ledger in his role of a life-time, the Dark Knight's most formidable adversary: the notorious Clown Prince known to Gotham's underwood only as....."THE JOKER"! It is made of hard rubber and painted to appear as made from metal. The term "stunt" may be a bit misleading in terms of its importance, as it received a higher share than the "hero" metal knife. While that was also used for the film, it was mainly for close-ups and still PR photos without motion, so no other person could accidentally be injured. Whenever the knife needed to be near an actor's face, production would strictly use the rubber version to assure maximum safety. The knife is encased in a specially created custom plexiglass case, augmented with 2 film stills, the Joker character poster art and a descriptive plaque and makes for a great wall-mount display.  THE DARK K
