Ha. I call it’ very stupid game ‘ .
It was known as the Knife Game or ‘Five Finger Fillet’ – I confess I looked this one up .
I just saw that movie again.
I saw a few people do this when I was very young but always with their own hand and I think it was not a real game or competition- just people showing how crazy they could be or the macho’ nerves of steel thing’ maybe .

I have spent my life around macho men (but not idiots) and I never saw or heard of this finger-knife game before the movie. So far as I know, it has no name from any time earlier than the present.
There is a game where you throw a knife into the ground around your feet, but it has nothing to do with hitting or not hitting the other guy’s feet or legs. It has a scoring system which you can win or lose, and sometimes boys bet their pocket knives on the outcome. This game is called “mumblety-peg.” It’s been around for centuries, as attested by old literature. I’ve seen it played, but I never learned what the scoring system was.
That’s all I know, dear Annika.
