I'm a huge Dune fan. Loved the novel, the Lynch movie and, just like Werewolf, the LJN toys . When my Wife and I were in Seattle, we visited the Museum of Pop Culture, where I saw this:
The Emperor's Blade that was lent to Feyd-Rautha so that he may fight Paul Atreides in a duel to the death.
This is a description of the blade used in the movie:
I'm pretty sure I left a nose print on the exhibit glass that day. I knew I had to have that blade. After some searching, I came across this kit put out by Panik! Props:
They're pretty rare, but I managed to score one from a Seller in Germany. Same size as the original prop, but I feel the blade should be thinner at the base. The kit is made from ABS Plastic and comes with Aluminum tape for the blade section.
I found a couple of local places that can cut down ABS plastic with a laser to the desired shape. I'll most likely go with spray paint over Aluminum tape once the blade is cut to size.
I'll post pics when completed.

This is a description of the blade used in the movie:
"The knife is made entirely of brass and copper, with what appears to be a stainless steel inlay in the center of the blade. Measures 12 in. long."
