Rambo III Stallone Signature Edition Knife

Wasn't sure how good thus knife would be, since I liked the newest ones so much. But this knife is SPECTACULAR. Big, heavy, and VERY well-made. Worth every penny I paid.

A picture does no good for this Bowie knife. Anyone on the other side of this bad boy will s... always was a big fan of Stallone from the Rocky movies to Rambo. Well done Gill Hibben, What great piece of art. Thanks

The largest Gil Hibben Rambo rep. Ergonomic handle feels natural and 3 different grips. Add leather gloves out of this world control. It would be a shame if this fine tool ends up in a display case. Mine definitely won't. Thx Budk!

Easily cuts through bones. Razor. Can't wait to field test.

I jumped on this knife when it was finally released, touted as the only full sized model as used in the movie, Rambo III. The first thing that I noticed was that the handle did not have the ergonometric feel of the Gill Hibben 16" version (which I refer to as the original, by United Cutlery, made in China), but rather felt much like holding a 2"X4", with comparatively squared off edges. Later, of course, the 13" version, also by United Cutlery also appeared, and is an exceptional knife in its own right. I actually gave away my 16" Hibben edition, and my hand can definitely tell the difference. If you want to be a purist and have knives EXACTLY like the ones in the movies, this is for you, but if you intend to actually use it as well I have to suggest the 16" model by Gill Hibben. Only at Bud K are ALL of the models available and at prices that allow you to compare them, side by side. Thank you Bud K!!

Of all my BudK purchases, this knife had to have been the biggest letdown to me. It's not a bad knife, it's just more average than I expected compared to the much cheaper Timber Rattler bowies. The pommel, hilt, butt and blade did not line up very well, there are small overlaps around each piece. Though I liked the look of the grip/pommel design, I was disappointed to find out how small the space between the front of the pommel and the butt is because my fingers (admittedly large) were squeezed too tight between them when gripping the blade. I don't see any markings on it or the paperwork as to what type of steel it is, though I have seen it advertised elsewhere as 440 stainless. Thus it's not going to get too sharp, but then I probably won't break it either. I wasn't disappointed enough to return it, it's not a bad knife, I was just disappointed in the fit and finish for the price compared to the Timber Rattlers. The sheath is nice and it makes a great display knife, I just didn't feel like the knife itself was better than any of the much cheaper options on BudK.
