this is the real deal ! handmade by the now deceased mr. lile himself.
he did an original run of 100 back in the 80´s. this is #16

dont wanna tell you the price, but this knive is the most expensive collectible i´ve ever owned.

I absolutely love the knives from First Blood and Rambo. I probably like the blackened Rambo knife the best.

I just saw one on ebay go for an astronomical amount of money. Well out of my price range unless I won the lottery.

The United Cutlery ones go for under $100 bucks; so I might pick one of those up. I own one that is close to the First Blood version (but is still an unofficial ripoff).

Your knife is just gorgeous! Well done Joerg!

"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

Looks cool! Used to like First Blood alot as a movie. But Sly just got more & more ridiculous with time. You should get the Hot Toys John J. Rambo to go with that as a display.

That is a cool knife.
I can imagine that it cost a few bucks too !
Are you also familiar with crain knives ?
I have always wanted to pick up one of his predator machettes.

That's a badass knife. Certainly not something I want to be on the business end of.

That's a mean looking knife!

I collect movie weapons too (sort of), and in that respect I spent more than any of you on a movie prop. 7500 bucks for my barrett. All the guns I own are from movies, and movies made me want them.

I own a cheapo version of the Conan Sword, not very detailed.

Looks great! Rocky... I mean Rambo would be proud of you.

There is nothing more impressive than a bloody big Alien
wiggling on the end of a sharp stick!

Congrats Joerg. That knife has always been a personal favorite of mine. I'm glad you posted this thread, man. Jimmy Lile's shop is about 50 miles from my home. I've been thinking about taking another drive up there some time real soon.

from what i´ve heard, the lile-shop has closed its doors forever ! two or three years ago

I will check to be sure. It has been about that long since I have been up that way.

I had to make a trip up to Russelville today and remembered to bring a camera this time... Yup. It's closed down...





In any event, I thought I should share these images before this historical site is gone for good.

Knocking the dust off of an old thread... considering the project at hand.
