I grew in Russellville Arkansas... literally a mile from the Lile shop and frequently visited, even met Sly at a signing once (86,87?). Anyhow as a kid growing up in the 80’s of course I loved the First Blood movies. I had a family member that was very good friends with Jimmy and bought a few of his knives and I was recently gifted my “grail” knife from his collection. It is the #11 Mission knife, I have been around this knife my entire childhood and most of my adult life and will now proudly display it. So that poses a few questions: 1. What’s the best way to care for the knife and sheath, and how do you all display your knive (or do you). 2. I would love to learn more about the “Rambo” knives and their history. 3. And being knew I doubt I’ll get love here on it haha but I remember seeing in Liles shop as a kid a “Mini Mission”, do y’all ever see those around here? I’d love to start adding to this lone knife collection!

Any help would be awesome!
 
hello. i display my small collection on a book shelf with a plexiglass front to keep the dust out. i have never seen a mini mission yet. as far as care, if it is a high carbon steel mineral oil on the blade will keep it from discoloring/rusting. if it is stainless, no special care should be needed. the sheath should be fine without any special care. welcome to the forum.
