Xena: Warrior Princess, Tracheotomy daggers (hero)

original movie prop weapon

A pair of metal daggers used by Xena in the season 3 episode “The Debt: Part One” in her assassination attempt on Lao Ma. I am told that these are the only two metal tracheotomy daggers made for the episode, hero props used for the close-ups of Xena threatening Lao Ma. Foam and resin versions were made for the fight that ensued to ensure the safety of Lucy Lawless, Jacqueline Kim, and any stunties that might have been involved in the scene. Each dagger came with its own certificate of authenticity from the 2001-2002 It’s a Wrap! auction.
