- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ย. 2021
- Adam unboxes and reviews the officially licensed Dune Crysknife prop replica from United Cutlery, in preparation for his own replica prop and costumes inspired by the new film. A little bit Dune-obsessed at the moment, Adam scrutinizes and appreciates this polyresin replica, down to the translucency and sculptural detail of the handle. It really is a faithful replica of a beautiful design!

adam should do a baron vladimir harkonnen cosplay with adam floating around
Please do make a replica if you include the prosess in filming as you usually do you will please both many dune fans but many hobbyists and knife enthusiasts love you're stuff man might I suggest a perfect grade barbatos gunpla if you enjoyed the RX-72 gundam I doubt you have time to read these but thank you regardless
i adore your video! I would be very happy if you rate our video of how we made a knife from the film Dune from an iron bolt.
"May thy knife chip and shatter!" was the traditional cry before the Fremen got into a tussle.
Therefore a degree of fragility is correct to the lore!
Oh, dang! I was gonna say that. Good on you!
beat me to it lol
Which of the books is that from?
@@athmaid book 1
@@gabrielcorporan7759 ah ok thanks for the info!
Adam, nice review. I did the product development for the United replica. It was not cast from an actual prop. Unfortunately I was not able to get one - I rarely can with any film license other than Lord of The Rings. Legendary supplied a 3D scan and full rotation photos of the prop and color references to work with, so we started with a 3D print, then sculpted in the fine details to make the mold master. The colors came out slightly different that what is seen in the film due to the color grading, but overall I thought the replica came out great. We are doing Duncan's long sword next!
Will Duncan's sword be stainless steel? And when do you think it will be available?
Which one he has two, the atreides short sword our the smaller one
Wonderful work. Curious - do you recall what the Fremen language on the handle translates to? Cheers.
The fact that he never replied to your questions makes me think this comment is bull crap lol
I wanna know if you have any ideas of replicas coming out for Dune part 2 I know of the sword and crysknife from Part 1
I almost bought it, but it doesn’t come with a sheath and having an unsheathed Crysknife on my wall seems wrong.
Could always get one made for it.
@@del_619 don't forget to draw blood before you sheath it.
ITS BEEN 2 YEARS BUT YES, THANK YOU, ive only found these replicas for like an extra 80 bucks for a sheath on etsy, like mannnn, its already expensive for me but i cant buy one without a sheath, its just wrong
That's the only thing that bothers me in the new Dune movies. Every time a character draws a blade without blooding it, I cringe a bit
@Meadras I didn't pay much attention to that on the 2nd movie but in the first one, just before the jamis fight they clearly cut above their wrists when sheathing the blade
I absolutely loved how they styled the Shai Hulud teeth similar to huge whale bristles. It makes total sense, instead of having teeth, since they would be filtering the sand for nutrients.
Excellent design choice.
And it makes them look more prehistoric and “ancient” compared to the tri-lip design of the earlier sandworms
Him getting the name wrong and saying Shai Halube/Haloob was killing me
I know what I'm carving the turkey with this year.
May your crispy bacon chip and shatter.
...the sauce must flow...! ;-)
LMFAO
So I know that someone figured out how to 3d print keratin fibers, specifically with the intention of flooding the rino horn market in an attempt to make it not worth poaching. No idea how successful that was, but if you could 3d print the knife in keratin (a long shot I know) that would feel very real to me, especially since my impression of the sand worms from the Dune trailers was very reminiscent of whale baleen.
I might suggest making it from bone. I eat cows all the time, and I like the "use the whole animal" idea, and I suspect a bone knife would be a good choice here, as well as efficiency, and it even has the benefit of matching ancient fabrication tech.
@@RadicalEdwardStudios not translucent
A knife printed with kerotin is as real a sand worm tooth as could exist cool idea man
@@RadicalEdwardStudios horn would be better but finding one with a long enough translucent section is hard
@@kobrapromotions That's true, but I somewhat suspect that actual keratin, made thick enough, would basically just ... not be particularly clear, either. At the same time, teeth are typically more like bone than keratin in most creatures, so one might argue for some level of functional accuracy in that department.
LOL of course Adam has seen Dune 4 times. Love him :)
I must not hype, for hype is the mindkiller
I must not hype. Hype is the market-killer. Hype is the little-lie that brings total debasement. I will face my hype. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner ad-agency to see its path. Where the hype has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
In blade making/wielding terms that "tells you how it wants to be held" feeling is called indexing and I find it to be super important but not as common as it probably should be. It's pretty cool that they took the time to get that right on a movie prop.
It was interesting in the film you can see that in some of the tight shots the blades have very little inertia (light weight). If a worms tooth is strong as steel but ultra light weight, that would be a great knife.
PLEASE start making dune props!! Can’t wait for that 🙂🙂🙂
We have all seen a Crysknife, we all must die
*doh!!*
i drew blood for it! pulled of a little scab from my arm, but stil i drew blood!
....or be cleansed....
We don't need to die, we just cannot ever leave Arrakis.
@@kevinkorenke3569 last week there was 42°C in the town i live, in a desert, i felt like i was already living in Arrakis. Very painful to watch other people's disturbing lack of water discipline :P
I agree. Dune is perfect it should have won everything at the Oscars but the set design and props were god level good. Seriously, if you just take a moment and pause the breakfast scene or Paul’s bedroom in the evening it is mind blowing how much the art dept put into that world building.
Badass knife,cant wait for the stillsuit build!!
mee too. would be drooling on adams work for that. i would even think he would incormerate some fluid pockets so he can drink fromt the suit as well
You can just make silicone moulds from this and cast any material out of hundreds presented on the market. Like smooth-On Task series, there are translucent resins that will not brake. I used Task 3 with added fibre (for concrete)- and discovered basically Adamantium which I was unable to sand or brake.
It's always nice to have a prop that you can properly play with. Can't wait to see what you come up with for an answer.
I 3D printed the knife from the 1984 Dune, & can't wait to make one of these as well
YAY! More Dune content please! Would really enjoy hearing you guys just have a big ol' movie discussion about it honestly.
I have a resin hero knife from the 1984 movie with a gold pommel that I weathered and made a rough leather sheath for. It is my night stand relic. Well until I finish my custom lightsaber build.
Since seeing the film, I've been missing a good Adam talks about how much he loves Dune stream, or maybe a one-time return of the Still Untitled podast?
I know it's likely impossible due to material limitations, but I feel like knapped opal would make for the coolest Crysknife ever.
The replicas Adam might create will awesome!
Seeing as how these are made by United Cutlery, it won't be long before the prices are slashed on these prop knives...
Oh I loved going to see dune! I’ve seen it twice and I honestly wanted to get a replica of the knife as well. Can’t wait for the second movie! 💕
Yeah, the worst thing about watching Dune is knowing that I couldn't see the second part of Dune for so long..
May thy knife never chip and shatter
one of my first thoughts when seeing the still suits in the theater was "oooh I can't wait to see Adam do a remake of one of these!" hahaha
Very cool! Nice review! (on a side note, yes you could 3d metal sinter print it, then make the blade out of polycarbonate blend both translucent and stupid sharp -it'll never be carbon steel but that's ok).
I'm also a huge Dune fan. It was 40 years ago I read the book.
Always such a pleasure to watch your excitement
I loved the film too - going to a Q&A showing with Villeneuve in a few days....
have fun dude, would be awesome to hear more from dennis about dune, and also what he wants to do for part 2
Oh, excellent! Hope you enjoy!
One of the great things about doing these as a prop replica is that everyone's crysknife seems to be more or less unique. You don't have to shoot for screen accuracy. Makes building crysknife replicas a lot easier than say, lightsabers that have to match the "real" ones.
What an incredible movie in IMAX my man Denis can't miss when it comes to Sci fi also I knew you would be all over this film Adam the production design is gorgeous.
If i am not mistaken in the books the teeth of a sand worm where made out of some kind of crystal so a Crysknife is just that, a crystal knife. Bloodworms have copper teeth so not all that strange of an evolution for a worm to have crystal teeth.
I like this version of the crysknife, but I'd love to see you review the soldiers knives, both the Atreides and Sardaukar versions. There's little information about them and no reviews from the martial arts experts yet (that I found out yet) or props experts like you. Great video, thanks for sharing this!
The production design of Dune is incredible. Loved loved loved the movie.
United cutlery makes amazing props, their lotr line of swords are beautiful
Are you telling me that you 'didn't' do the salute with the crysknife to end the video!! I'm a little bit disappointed to sat the least...
All jokes aside I'm more stoked to see the film now after watching this review 😄
Being UK based, I love it when Adam uses the word "shite". It's a very British word. 😂
Looks Great , I like the Details !!!!
need a list of his best AND worst retail props now
I am a big fan of the awesome creations that you make. I would really like to see you attempt to make a dune Crysknife from cowhorn.
Maybe Shai-Hulud are actually filter feeders like large baleen whales. You description of a "hair tooth" is how I describe baleen to tourists on my whale watching boat.
That's the look they were aiming for in the new movie.
@@TomVCunningham Cool. I'd love to see what those big worms are feeding on. little spice krill I sand fleas guess.
@@lo-firobotboy7112 you haven't read the book I guess, they feed on sand trout, which can mature into worms if they survive.
@@TomVCunningham Hmmmm, not sure about the biology on that one. lol
I read the first book but it was a while ago. I'm still a fan of the original Lynch interpretation of the story. Somewhere around here I have a "complete" version (on VHS!) with the missing scenes and omitted bits plopped back in as story boards with narration or rough-cuts or rehearsal footage.
I’m wondering if jade G10 would be a good material for it. It can be machined and polished and actually sharpened. But would be strong and translucent
Thank you for the spoiler alert, not seen the film yet, so will watch the rest of this once i have, btw that prop looks amazing for a mass market production piece, almost looks like a one off piece from the film
I would love to have a Crysknife made of polypropylene or something, durable enough to train with
Would love to see a video of him making One
Deer antler might be interesting material for crysknife replica, won't be transparent but its not that britle plus its already a tooth like organic material
Is there a process that could be used to "treat" a natural substance, to pull out the pigment, like a bleach. Y'know, "decaffeinate" it.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Tested !!!!!!!!!!!
You mentioned recycling of the crysknife's packaging briefly as you opened it. I would like to know about your recycling process: what do you do to recycle styrofoam packaging, for instance? It is bulky, delicate, and not really useful for very much. A "Tesrted" session on your recycling and to be a sustainable shop?
You missed a great joke there, the crocodile Dundee knife line.,. "that's not a knife, this is a KNIFE!"
When I was watching dune the other day I remember thinking "I wonder if Adam is going to make a still suit.... probably"
@adam savage .....what would you do to the base\holder to improve it?
Adam, you should absolutely connect with Alec Steele, who just created a forged version of this that looks amazing. SUCH a great prop!!!
Another gem of a video👍🏻
The round gray object on the left side your bench - right in frame - made me think it would be fascinating to see you make replica Fabergé eggs.
Adam, you must now compose a poem to your crysknife. Doctor Yueh tells Paul the fremen write such poems to their crysknives
May thy blade chip and shatter, because its made of polyester (?).
I would buy this if it was one of the knives from the film with a bit of a dropped point, the ones that have a slight kukri or yatagan vibe going on
When you make your own crysknife I believe the blade could be made very well out of fiberglass. Use individual strands bundled & running lengthwise down it. That would give you the desired strength & opacity while also allowing it to be cast with all the details and colors you want it to have. For the metal grip on it I would use lost wax casting using a zinc or aluminum alloy. A zinc alloy would give you the ability to chemically age/ weather it without having to use paints & it will just keep looking even better the more it is touched until paint jobs.
You could use undyed G10 which is fiberglass in a resin base with no added color. It's translucent. Generally it's a jade green color, but I have seen it in a browinish-yellowi color, which would work for a tooth.
I've so wanted one of these. I wish I had a 3d printer capable of doing the models that was out there. Maybe this is my alternative for now.
@Adam Savage’s Tested what is the length of the Crysknife do you know
Make it out of transparent aluminum! That'll teach 'em
dennis villineuve is the man , you can tell how working with ridley scott helped him with the ambience of the movie
Worth to mention that I've seen a bronze (brass, hard to tell because of the translation) replica of crysknife in one of Chinese online stores, I'm thinking of getting it to have a try though huh😂
I would carve it out of MDF and then cast it in something similar to Smooth cast 61d which is a translucent and semi flexible resin which can be strengthened by a fibreglass rod
" That's not a knife, THAT'S a knife "
The Fremen crysknife rates very high on the Dundee Scale.
...QUL WAHADH...! ;-)
This is the first time i see someone else cut the tape on a box with a pencil. Somehow i feel less alone in the universe now.😆
After reading a glimpse of the novel back then when i was just a kid, I too am much obsessed with Dune after the 2021 movie, want to watch the old movie but I just can't deal with it (it's older than my older sister). The new movie got me hooked and watch it again and again, also started reading Dune comicbooks too!
Hope they bring all Dune stories to the big screen or maybe HBO series, because the lore is so intriguing
Finish reading the BOOKS!!
I sculpted the original. Looks like a good replica.
This convinced me to get this knife cause my god it is so cool
Adam: Says knife is delicate.
Me: “May thy knife chip and shatter.”
The blade curves forwards subtly before tapering to a point, like a yatagan, that's pretty neat
Do a carved white polycarbonate blade! that should give you the hardness and translucency.
Adam let’s see you do it!!!
I would love a nice scabbard to hold this beauty as part of a still suit costume. I'm thinking of doing my own still suit and I really want to incorporate the prop.
Adam has got to make the leather scabbard!!
Would be nice to see comparisons with props from the other two adaptations (1984 and 2000). And with any well-conceived artisan makes in the interim.
I practice historical fencing and I recommend a nylon material to carve the knife out of as that is what is often used to make hard wearing replica weapons. There may be some flex or rigidity issues though and as for a clear composition of hard nylon I am not sure whether that would be available.
I was thinking white LDPE might be an interesting option, but I don’t think it will be paintable, nor will it be translucent. But it should be pretty functional.
Now you mention it you definitely have something there. It may actually be milky enough to have some subsurface scattering if not a little translucent quality to it in smaller polished use cases it isn't dissimilar to the prop. I withdraw my hand I believe someone has the better cards.
@@endstreetprodutions - what if I want to vote for your Nylon solution? 🤣
So, I did buy one. It came in yesterday. I’m a little disappointed by how translucent the tip is.
It seems to me that either the nylon or LDPE a solutions would be a closer match to what we saw on screen, but then you’ve got the problem of how the hell do you paint materials like that?!?
@@shubinternet I'm not sure what would wear we'll. Maybe a combination of aerosol paints that are then clear coat but even then I think the finish may be as brittle as there recreation. Maybe it depends on preference? Would you prefer breaking the replica or potentially chiping the paint job?
Looks awesome and I also loved the movie.
Is there a resin print that would be durable enough for you?
How about laminating a blade with a central layer of Alox for the edge and Polycarbonate on each side, so you can easily grind and polish in the contours. This will alsokeep the weight down. The Alox could be sharpened with Diamond abrasive wheels much like carbide. The Polycarbonate would give toughness and support the more brittle Alox. I’m not sure what the best laminating adhesive would be, but our friends at the 3M adhesives hotline would always have the answer. I believe this would give you a blade with characteristics much like those attributed to the “real” Chysknife, but achievable in the shop without insane amounts of work. I’d run the Polycarbonate full length through the grip, so there isn’t a danger of snapping at the base of the blade. The faint joint line between the Alox and the Polycarbonate would give some visual interest and would be “Hamon” like.
One day build to create the ornithopter headset that was just an htc vive deluxe strap that was dressed up
Forgot to mention that the symbol on the knife rack is the atreaties house symbol in gold
I'm currently making one out of PVC trim board.
The production design of Dune is among the best I've seen in a film. Normally with a film the world feels very different from how I pictured it while reading, but this movie hit basically everything on the nose.
I swear there was a video of Adam making a David Lynch prop crysknife. He was talking about using an alligator jawbone for the handle. Has anyone else seen that video?
WANT!!!
Adam! Will you do one of the original 84 Dune or the modern one?!!
4 times and he’s still saying “Shai-Hulub” lol
I want to mention that companies like Stratasys can handle detail like that.
They can even do multi colored prints at high detail. Just thought I'd mention
them.
Remember the book mentions the knife may shatter if it breaks. Is it brittle by design or by material choice?
Just realized dune part two is going to have a kickass drum set...
I would like to see one of those in Damascus steel blade, silver and leather handle
It’s good that there is writing on both sides or you’d be digging in the wrong place.
I'm going to be carving one from elk antler
I remember the United Cutlery Sword of the Witchking as my great white buffalo just couldn't afford it as a middle school kid. But looking back now that was probably comparably priced, you just get a whole lot less now days.
so Adam, are you going to do a one day build of the ultimate stand for it?
Is there a stillsuit in the future?
How about make it out natural materials like horn or antler to a closer feel or look to what a more realistic crysknife
How can I purchase one for collecting
You had me at "Dune prop".
