Norm made that one, a tanto, and a SOG. The series never made it past pilot, and Norm ended up with the knives. My brother and I met Norm at a NY show, where he had these knives on display. On the last day of the show, we asked to buy them, and he relented. I will post a picture of the knife as soon as I can. About a 9" blade, hollow handle. Very typical survival type knife for the period, would have looked very heroic in Mr. Lewis' hands onscreen. I met Geoffrey Lewis at the Chiller theatre convention a few years ago, and he fleshed out what Norm had told me. Last edited by rooikat; 10/09/07 02:29 AM.

I opened our conversation with "I have your knife." We ended up talking knives, guns, and survival for maybe 1/2 hour. I always liked him as an actor; it was nice to see he was also a 'man's man'.
