A Jimmy Lile first edition Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) knife of the same model created as a prototype by Jimmy Lile for Peter MacDonald's action sequel Rambo III. After his friend and mentor Col. Trautman (Richard Crenna) was captured by Soviet forces in Afghanistan, Rambo wielded his knife on a mission to free him at all costs.

Knifesmith and designer Jimmy Lile was originally going to make the knives for Rambo III, but the job wound up going to Gil Hibben. This Bowie knife is from the original run done when Lile's Rambo III prototype knife for the film was made. It comes with an original black leather sheath with a metal snap button fastener and features engravings just above the bolster reading "FIRST BLOOD III" on one side of the blade and "LILE 010" on the other. First edition Jimmy Lile knives are highly sought after by collectors. This knife is in excellent overall condition with some minor wear from age throughout.

Real bladed knife; see knife disclaimer in the Buyer's Guide

Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000
