paul's crysknife

After looking at a million screenshots, I'm pretty confident that the knife Paul has for most of Dune Part Two is not the one Chani gives him to fight Jamis at the end of Part One. It's Jamis's own knife.

This is the knife Chani gives Paul:

It has a very smooth, almost botanical-looking curve to the blade, overlapping circular carvings that go all the way to the edge of the base of the blade, more circular carvings on the end of the hilt, and a noticeable wood grain to the part of the hilt that's not metal. The blade also transitions from dark to light very noticeably close to the base.

It's the same knife Paul sees in his vision--both the image of it lying sheathed on the sand and in the scene were Chani stabs him.

The most distinctive thing about the knife Paul uses in the final duel with Feyd-Rautha is its shape. It has this very noticeable sharp notch or bend about a third of the way down the blade that makes it look, for lack of a better word, kind of mean. When we get close-ups of it we can see that it has carvings near the hilt of concentric circles with lines running out of them, something carved vertically down the metal part of the hilt, and a much smoother color transition from gray to slightly lighter at the tip. He wears it in a scabbard that looks like it has some kind of design stamped into the leather all the way down.

Paul has this knife as early as the harvester attack, but he doesn't have it in the opening battle with the Harkonnens during the eclipse (when we see that Jamis's knife is still tied to the shroud around his body).

We don't get a ton of close-ups of Jamis's knife in either film, but what we do see...

...yeah, looks like a pretty good match to me.

This makes me wonder if there's a deleted scene out there somewhere where Paul receives this knife. While not essential to the plot, this would have been symbolically resonant, and would have played better than the scene in the book where Paul receives Jamis's uhhh actual wife and children.

It also means that Chani's great-aunt's crysknife--the knife that Paul envisioned killing him--is still out there somewhere, presumably with Chani, whose expression in the vision when she's stabbing him now makes a lot more sense.

Book cover design for class 🩵 feat: Jessica the bestie.

Ive been hyperfocusing on this drawing all day (like for like 12 hours) so I might add more to it later when i have fresh eyes but Im really proud of it so far!

I really like the thought of making sci fi books more accessible to fem people through book covers so this was fun to make! Also lets be real, Jessica has the most influence on the story out of any character and Paul just kind of vibes heh (controversial take ik, fight me in the comments)

So I just stumbled across something, that as a non-book reader, I thought was interesting about the crysknife in the Dune universe, purely by accident.

I was actually trying to find out why the fremen thump their chests before/during a fight. Like we see Jamis do it in Dune part one before he and Paul fight, he thumps his chest twice. We also see Paul himself do it, first right before his duel with Feyd Rautha in part two. It's the same motion he thumps his fist twice on his chest in response to a fremen soldier who does it first. We see Paul do this motion again in the middle of his duel with Feyd, this time he does it after Feyd has knocked him down and then called Chani Paul's pet. I was wondering whether this motion had some symbolic meaning, like was it to rev themselves up before a fight? Was it an intimidation, challenge or warning to their opponent? Or does it have some other deeper meaning? I did wonder if it had some connection to the sandworms. I know the fremen see Shai-Hulud as a god type figure and they do sometimes punch the sand to call the attention of sandworms, so I thought maybe there was some kind of connection there, percussion and rhythm being important in fremen culture perhaps? Anyway I never found an answer as to what the meaning of this double fist thump on the chest meant, so if anyone does know or has any ideas, feel free to leave a comment.

What I did find out though, through a reddit thread, was a whole lore around the crysknives that wasn't included in the movies, but this lore adds so much more meaning to the pre fight taunt 'may they knife chip and shatter.'

The first fact I learnt about the crysknife also makes the scene in Dune part one, where Stilgar and the other fremen cut themselves when he says that they will take Jessica and Paul to the Sietch, make more sense. I did wonder why they did that and figured it was some kind of blood oath not to harm them or something. But it actually turns out that once a crysknife has been drawn it isn't allowed to re-sheathed until it has 'tasted blood' even if the blood is your own. So in this instance they had all drawn their blades in anticipation of a fight, when Jessica then bests Stilgar and the decision is made to instead take them to the Sietch, Stilgar and the Fremen then cut themselves so that they can re-sheath their blades. Which was an interesting detail to learn and honestly clears that scene up a lot. It seems to be a lesson of be careful before you draw your blade because you will have to get it bloody as well as a promise to draw blood when they draw their blades.

Another thing that was mentioned in this thread was that the blood lubricates the blade and helps prevent it from shattering which can happen if the blade isn't properly cared for. However there did seem to some dispute over this in the thread and some were saying this wasn't in the books and others were saying it was, but if it is true it adds to the whole 'may thy knife chip and shatter' taunt because its basically saying I hope your blade doesn't taste my blood and therefore chips and shatters.

But something else that adds to this taunt is that another part of the lore is that crysknives disintegrate when their owner dies, they literally shatter. So 'may they knife chip and shatter' translates to you're the one who is going to die causing you blade to shatter. Which I actually find really interesting because when I first heard Jamis say it in part one I thought it was like him wishing bad luck onto Paul when actually it was more like Jamis saying bitch I hope you die. Which is actually a lot darker and more threatening then wishing the inconvenience of a broken blade onto someone.

But yeah it was interesting to learn more about the crysknives, I wish they had put some of this lore into the movies.

(Fan) Concept Art - DUNE by Frank Herbert After reading the books and watching the movies, I had to design a Fremen in a stillsuit on my own. While I did like the new depiction of Denis Villeneuve, I still had another image of those suits in my mind when I read those books. So - here´s my own version of a Fremen warrior.

A crysknife for my last Inktober piece of the year 🔪 I MADE IT!! Wanted to make up for not doing 31 pieces last year, and also going off whatever I wanted to draw instead of sticking to any prompts, which I think helped loosen me up so I could draw without feeling stuck in a box so to speak.

I'm not really a details guy, but I keep making the choice to draw things with so many details! I have a new brush coming. I plan on inking in a bunch of this with that. #artwork #drawing #lineart #blackandwhite #pencil #sketch #commission #graphitedrawing #Dune #paulatreides #stillsuit #desert #arakis #water #fremen #crysknife #paper #traditionalart #scifi https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsZu_eLB6A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
