Kenneth Strickfaden "Knife Scrutch". Kenneth Strickfaden referred to this ominous prop as a "Knife Scrutch" -- it resembles the type of apocalyptic levers he created for such classic films as Frankenstein, Chandu the Magician and The Mask of Fu Manchu. Mounted on a 15" base, this Knife Scrutch gives ever indication of having the cinematic potency to energize a monster or unleash a death ray. Excellent condition. From the Kenneth Strickfaden Archive. Requires third party shipping.
