Stallone had a basic idea of what he needed and the knife was written into the script, as in the previous three films, as an integral part of the movie, almost a character in and of itself. Gil made at least 5 prototype versions of the piece before finally arriving at the design that is used in the film.

The overall "beaten" finish coincides with the movie piece which "sly" actually hammers out during the film.
