Knife Identification
I saw in a movie when it first came out in 1991. The name of the movie was "Exposure" or later renamed "High Art" with Peter Coyote starring in it. Its set in Rio DE Jan-eras and it is about knife fighting underworld there. I googled it and in one of the descriptions there is a clip where he is buying a fighting knife. They show a couple of Randall's, a Fairbanks Morse but I can't hear the name of the first one, a beautiful subhilt fighter. The knife dealer has an accent and I just can't make it out what he is saying. Its a great looking knife and would like to research. Anyway I wanted to buy the DVD or a VHS of it (still do), but now I've become obsessed with finding out what that knife is. The knife seller say's "it's very rare". If you could help me out or anybody else in the community I'd be very great full.

It's called "A Grande Arte" and Amazon has it for 10 bucks. I'm going to get it from Netflix now just to see it!
Maybe I'll be able help after I see it, but thanks for showing me this movie.

Ed you'll like it, I know I did when I saw it and just the clips I saw reminded me how nitty and grritty it was. The music, the director, the way it was shot, I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger hit. Oh and by the time I got to Amazon the cheapest one left was $51 bucks and I don't want to spend that much and I can't find it on Netflix either.
Hey but thanks again Ed you are a great guy,
Ray
