Reading the morning Trib this morning, I came across a little article about Bill Moran. Nice to see some good things published about the custom knife industry.

That's a great article. It is always nice to read more about Mr. Moran.

I knew Stallone was a knife collector, but had no idea he had four of Bill's knives. Lucky fella!

Barry, thanks for posting the article.

very interesting article, it's surprising that stallone felt the knives were to expensive though. I mean 7000 is a lot of money but for someone of his financial standing?

If Stallone is a member of Bladeforums and needs money, I'll be glad to give him $10K for the Damascus ST-23 on page 170 of " Master of the Forge". It's the largest Damascus ST-23 that Moran ever forged.

Who cares what that raving super left wing hypocrite, Sylvester Stallone does, owns, or anything else??

So he's a knife collector. So what? He's also a gun collector and shooter... and has armed bodyguards. But, he uses his millions of $$$ and his fame, to crusade for the confiscation of our firearms, along with his other buddies in Hollywod, the Mega Millionaire Marxists and the Billionaire Bolsheviks. Not his guns: ours!

To Hell with that lamebrained moron.

An uncle of mine was a bodyguard for Stallone, also did some stunt and fight choreography for him in Nighthawks, First Blood, Rocky IV. He has a Moran fighter. Getting to handle that once is what made me a knife collector.
