"Friday the 13th" Ari Lehman Signed Knife Inscribed "Jason 1" (JSA Witnessed)

Add an instant centerpiece of horror history to your collection—an object that embodies the birth of one of cinema’s most feared legends.

This screen-inspired “Friday the 13th” machete has been hand-signed and inscribed by Ari Lehman, the original Jason Voorhees from the landmark Friday the 13th. The bold inscription “Jason 1” directly ties this piece to Jason’s very first appearance, making it vastly more significant than later-era franchise memorabilia.

Before the hockey mask, before decades of sequels, Jason Voorhees began with Lehman’s chilling on-screen reveal—and that origin moment is what drives long-term value for serious horror collectors. A signed machete is already an elite display item; pairing it with the originating actor’s autograph and inscription elevates this into true upper-tier horror memorabilia.

For absolute collector confidence, the signing was witnessed by James Spence Authentication (JSA), and the piece includes both a JSA hologram and matching COA.
