Kali's dagger

Today I bring my new acquisition: Kali’s screen used dagger used by Xena as Kali in the episode “The Way” from season 4.

The dagger is a resin cast with a metal rod inside as mostly all the production resin props. The handle features floral reliefs with Indian-inspired motifs on a maroon background. The dagger blade is slightly curved and painted with a metallic-effect finish.

Indrajit drove the dagger into Xena’s hand before reincarnating as Kali; subsequently, while the dagger was still embedded in her hand, she drove it right into the demon’s face during the brutal fight.

A few months ago I found Xena as Kali’s chestpiece, so it is great to reunite these pieces again after more than 25 years.

Xena's Creation scabbard

 The Xena's Creation scabbard is definitely one of the rarest prop replicas; I've never seen more than 10 of those sheaths in my entire life.

The Xena case, made by the propmasters of Pacific Renaissance Pictures LTD in New Zealand and distributed by Creation Entertainment in a limited edition of 500 units worldwide; but it is possible that the production batch was never finished, as these late editions were made to order.

The holster is built on a solid foam frame, just like the ones used on screen, and is covered in soft, genuine dark brown leather. It also features aged conchos made of cast gold resin and inlaid New Zealand paua shells. 

The back doesn't have the classic carabiner-style clips used on the holsters used on set or Todd's replicas to attach to costumes; instead, there's a leather strip around the braiding and a leather strap for functionality and to secure it to the back.

Finally I was able to reunite the replicas of Xena's battle sword and sheath from Creation Entertainment: another level was unlocked.
