The knife can be seen in the first few seconds of this video clip: вЂњIt was difficult to get the same shape bone for each handle,вЂќ he noted. Once the final designs were agreed upon, he had to make three of each knife in case any one was damaged or lost, all of which had to look alike. They continually changed the design until the final knives were an evolution of changes,вЂќ Winkler said. вЂњI went to six weeks of meetings and theyвЂ™d change the knife at every meeting.

From that design Winkler made a knife and brought it to the next production meeting, where movie officials suggested more changes.

He met with production officials to decide on a specific knife design. The handle is deer leg bone wrapped in rawhide and red and green bands, also inspired by handles from the mid-18th century.ДЇrom there, Winkler learned just how tough a job he had taken on. He said the blade design is not an exact straight edge because of its slight upswept tip. The blade is forged from L6, a steel Winkler said he chose to show вЂњthe right-age patina вЂњfor the French and Indian War time period. Made by Daniel Winkler, the piece is 11 inches long overall. Though no specific knives were agreed upon at the meeting, they decided our knives were appropriate and gave them some idea of what they wanted.вЂќ Designing, and Re-Designing, the Knives The knife Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) carries is shown above.

вЂњBut Downing didnвЂ™t have any knives! Karen and I вЂhappenedвЂ™ to have a suitcase full of knives and Downing asked if we would stay for the meeting with Mann. вЂњWe spoke with Downing and he told us he had a meeting that night with the movieвЂ™s director, Michael Mann, at which time he was supposed to show Mann the knives that were to be used in the movie. вЂњKaren and I introduced ourselves to DowningвЂ™s secretary and got a map to his office,вЂќ Winkler recalled. Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) carries the knife Winkler made in this scene from вЂњThe Last of the Mohicans.вЂќ (Image via ) A maker of period pieces for and a participant in mountain man rendezvous, Winkler and his knives would seem a good match for the movieвЂ™s mid-18th century time frame, but not even he and his business associate, Karen Shook, could have foreseen the good fortune that would befall them when they met with movie prop master Ron Downing. Winkler, who lives in Boone, North Carolina, (the movie was filmed in the nearby North Carolina mountains) read about a casting call for the movie in a local newspaper.

Knifemakers Daniel Winkler and Randall King capitalized on being at the right place at the right time to make the knives for 1992вЂ™s box-office hit, The Last of the Mohicans. ItвЂ™s no wonder Hollywood would turn to these keepers of history when making movies set in centuries past. Knifemakers keep the candle lit for traditions going back generations.
