Hello, I happen to be the very proud owner of an awesome Steve Voorhis handmade First Blood style survival knife. This knife is very unique because the story is that Voorhis and Jimmy Lile, the original maker of the awesome First Blood movie knife, were friends and the particular knife I have is made the the most incredible quality and betetr than the others because it is one of Steve's first ones (maybe his first one) and he and Lile worked together on it via Lile was showing Mr. Voorhis how to make his Rambo knife. The one that I have is the very one which both makers worked together on. It is superbly made, awesomely heavy, and well balanced. It has the characteristics of the First Blood movie knife, the Rambo 2 movie knife, and the Sly II knoife which Jimmy Lile made especially for Sylvester Stallone for his collection. When I look at my Voorhis handmade knife, which is made with 5160 steel, has the split serrations, stainless steel knurled hollow handle, and the guard that resembles the Sly II, I can see Jimmy Lile's work all through it. It is by farone of the highest quality Rambo style knives ever made by Voorhis. This one that I have was made in the 80's. However, I don't care for the way that Voorhis leaves his para cord wrap loose on the handle but I do understand why he does it. But I did take it off and I attached my own brand new military grade para cord wrap on the handle. I used Desert Storm Tan color on it but I might be changing that to Black color this weekend. I will say this though; If yo haven't heard of him yet and you want a real high quality handmade survival knife that is Not a Rambo copy or tribute knife, by all means check out Andrew Clifford Survival knives. Andy makes the most incredibly high quality survival knives of all. His work is awesome and he also handmakes the sheathes for his knives too. They are custom made as well and are the most beautiful survival knife sheathes ever. You would do yourself greatly if you checked him out. Another awesome knife maker is Ray Matton. He is a great knife maker and he also makes the Rambo tribute knives but also makes his own designed knives too! Check both of these incredible knife makers out!
but extremely well made.
