The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

HI guys

I show you my replica of the hudson knife

Thanks to the prop store photo and the movie in BR I was able to replicate the knots of its cover.

Making the knots is very simple, but if someone is interested I think I can explain how to do them

Very cool. I was planning on doing this myself before I had to box everything up. I did the knots out of what I believed was paracord and was pretty surprised when those propstore photos came out. Been meaning to redo the whole thing to include the crossover in the middle of the sheath. I know I would appreciate a refresher on the knot pattern if you have the time to post it.

Ok I try! :wink:

We start with a normal knot and pass a loop through the first loop, ...and repeat....and repeat

How long did your strip of leather did you use?
I know the 'factory' leather that came on mine is not nearly long enough for that.

My leather is shoelace leather :lol:

I bought 4 meters and I have about 50 cm left over :shock:

Look at the number of knots in the original, because I made two more than the original :lol:

It is clear that Hudson liked to knot things.... the eagle Knot.... its sheath.... He also has a loop with paracord holding his sheath when he wears the armor,a knot just like the eagle knot
