Adam and Norm unbox two new prop replicas from the Dune films: United Cutlery's recreation of Duncan Idaho's blade from the first film and Insight Editions collectors edition Thumper that accompanies the second film's official making-of book! It's also an excuse to talk about what we loved from the most recent Dune and our hopes for the third movie!
Thanks to United Cutlery and Insight Editions for sending these Dune prop replicas!

Adam, you HAVE to make a working thumper, in metal so it has the sound to.

@Shawwblagoo Ай бұрын

I’d like to see that too but I have a feeling that it’s more about the medium it’s thumping (sand) and the mass/speed of the thumper.

@shaunlennon2429 Ай бұрын

I was going to comment the same and saw someone else did, definitely needs to be done with a heavy metal and a worm drive arrangement, I can imagine the design now it seems so simply.

It would be awesome if someone (like Adam) could design a thumper with a wind up mechanism so it’s lore accurate.

For those of you who might be interested... The steel is 3cr13, which would allow you to sharpen it if so desired. "3Cr13 is a stainless steel that offers consumers today a lower price point for fairly good knife performance. It has seen use typically among kitchen knives and some utility tools. It is not the favorite steel among professional chefs or situations where the hardness of the blade is vital. It is a lower-end, low-hardness steel with decent toughness and rust resistance."

@Bozothcow Ай бұрын

Stainless steel is not suitable for long blade construction. They will literally chip and shatter (well maybe not chip, but definitely shatter, which can be extremely dangerous).

I've been almost 40 years waiting for these films. I love the original Lynch version, despite its many flaws, and the book is just something that is very close to my heart. I was in a constant state of wonder throughout the two films, with a smile on my face. The cast was wonderfully picked. Timothée Chalamet physical demeanor is the embodiment of Frank Herberts description of Paul. Duncan Idaho the apex Atreides warrior and Gurney... wow... I could be rambling for hours on how much I loved these films and can't wait for the 3rd one. Hopefully, Denis will proceed to direct "Rendezvous with Rama", which another passion of mine.

Idea for a comicon suit for Adam. Go as the Harkonen soldiers in the black desert suites they wear at the start of Dune 2. People won't be able to see your face so you can go incognito and there is a large fan in the back of the suit that should keep you cool.
